00:00Blessed and holy free, glorious Trinity, wisdom of might.
00:14Boundless as ocean's tide, rolling in forest bright,
00:23through the earth, far and wide, let journey light.
00:34Thank you for the welcome.
00:37Barbara and I are delighted to be here again to share fellowship with you
00:40and to draw your attention to God's precious word.
00:45Listen to the words of Psalm 100.
00:49Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth.
00:54Worship the Lord with gladness.
00:57Come before him with joyful songs.
01:00Know that the Lord is God.
01:03It is he who made us, and we are his.
01:07We are his people, the sheep of his pasture.
01:12Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise.
01:17Give thanks to him, and praise his name.
01:21For the Lord is good, and his love endures forever.
01:28His faithfulness continues through all generations.
01:32Some of you will know that I worked in retirement for a few years for Wycliffe Bible Translators,
01:40doing two days a week, and that was a great privilege, a great opportunity.
01:45But I always have to say this, I'm not a Bible translator, okay?
01:51So don't ask me any hard questions about translation, because I probably couldn't answer you.
01:56My job was church-related.
01:58Having spent my life in pastoral ministry, then I felt I could be useful in making contact with churches,
02:09or serving the churches, and sharing interest in the work of Wycliffe among different churches,
02:15and getting news about what's happening.
02:19I always like to share a little bit about what's going on in these days.
02:23I've also got a couple of spare magazines up here.
02:28They're, anybody's who would like them.
02:30They're thrilling to read, encouraging events taking place, and plenty to pray about in them as well.
02:38Well, it's thrilling to know that the work goes on, amazingly.
02:45The annual report, if you want to read it in full, go online to Wycliffe,
02:51and you'll see a copy of the annual report.
02:55That's where I had to go, because my proper copy hasn't come through the post yet.
03:02But what was thrilling was this, that during the last year, that's 24-25,
03:0823 new Bibles have been completed, and 95 new New Testaments.
03:16That's about one every three days.
03:19So that's progress in translation.
03:22It means that 197 million now have the whole Bible for the first time, that's this year,
03:32and 54 million now have the New Testament for the first time.
03:38And that's really encouraging.
03:41God's Word is spreading.
03:43Bible translation is speeding up in many ways.
03:47And many people are being one for the Lord Jesus Christ.
03:52One little story, because you can have lots of stories, but I'm here to preach the Word.
03:57So this comes back from August this year, and it concerns the Aqabu New Testament.
04:08That's a people group in Togo.
04:11And the New Testament was launched, or celebrated, or dedicated then.
04:17And there was a man called Kuda Jovi.
04:22And this man was a motorcycle mechanic.
04:24And he was there, and the service had an impact on his life.
04:31He says, I'll read some of his words, I was born into a pagan family, and therefore a pagan myself.
04:39But on the day the New Testaments were dedicated, I was there.
04:44And it had a great impact on him.
04:46Amazingly so.
04:50That night, he says, I had a disturbing dream.
04:54A huge man dressed in white approached me.
04:57He was holding that same book in his hands, and handing it to me, saying,
05:04Take it, take it, take it.
05:06This is life.
05:08I took it, he says.
05:10And at that moment, I woke up.
05:12He says, the dream moved me deeply.
05:16And the way the man spoke to me with such authority and gentleness, convinced me to change my life.
05:24I decided to abandon my old ways.
05:26I bought the book, and accepted Jesus as my Saviour.
05:31I give thanks to God for this transformation.
05:35And I sincerely thank everyone who contributed to this project.
05:39This book is a blessing.
05:41And I trust it is to you as well.
05:45And there are lots more stories like that if you look at the Wycliffe website.
05:49And it's worth looking at and being encouraged and challenged by it.
05:55So let's turn again to God's Word.
05:59And our passage for this evening.
06:021 Peter, chapter 1.
06:03Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to God's elect, exiles scattered throughout the provinces of Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia and Bithynia,
06:19who have been chosen according to the foreknowledge of God the Father through the sanctifying work of the Spirit to be obedient to Jesus Christ and sprinkled with his blood.
06:34Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
06:40In his great mercy, he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade.
06:57This inheritance is kept in heaven for you, who through faith are shielded by God's power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time.
07:14In all this, you greatly rejoice, though now, for a little while, you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials.
07:28These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith, of greater worth than gold, which perishes, even though refined by fire, may result in praise, glory and honour when Jesus Christ is revealed.
07:47Though you have not seen him, you love him, and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy,
08:05for you are receiving the end result of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
08:13Concerning this salvation, the prophets who spoke of the grace that was to come to you, searched intently and with the greatest care,
08:26trying to find out the time and circumstances to which the Spirit of Christ in them was pointing,
08:35when he predicted the sufferings of the Messiah and the glories that would follow.
08:41It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves, but you,
08:49when they spoke of the things that have now been told you by those who have preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit,
09:00sent from heaven.
09:03Even angels long to look into these things.
09:07Therefore,
09:09with minds that are alert and fully sober,
09:15set your hope on the grace to be brought to you when Jesus Christ is revealed at his coming.
09:24As obedient children,
09:27do not conform to the evil desires you had when you lived in ignorance,
09:32but just as he who called you is holy,
09:38so be holy in all you do,
09:43for it is written,
09:45be holy,
09:46because I am holy.
09:50Since you call on a Father
09:52who judges each person's work impartially,
09:56live out your time as foreigners here
09:59in reverent fear,
10:01for you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver and gold
10:08that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your ancestors,
10:16but with the precious blood of Christ,
10:20a lamb without blemish or defect.
10:24He was chosen before the creation of the world,
10:29but was revealed in these last times for your sake.
10:35Through him,
10:37you believe in God
10:39who raised him from the dead
10:42and glorified him,
10:44and so your faith and hope
10:47are in God.
10:50Now that you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth
10:54so that you have sincere love for each other,
11:00love one another deeply
11:02from the heart.
11:05For you have been born again,
11:08not of perishable seed,
11:10but of imperishable
11:12through the living
11:13and enduring
11:15word of God.
11:17For
11:18all people
11:20are like grass,
11:22and all their glory
11:24is like the flowers of the field.
11:27The grass withers
11:28and the flowers fall,
11:32but
11:32the word of the Lord
11:34endures forever,
11:36and this
11:38is the word
11:40that was preached
11:41to you.
11:44God grants us understanding
11:45of his precious
11:47and powerful
11:48word.
11:51You might like to turn again
11:52to 1 Peter chapter 1.
11:57Don't expect too much tonight.
11:59When I heard it was 1 Peter chapter 1,
12:03I thought,
12:04are they expecting me
12:05to expound the whole chapter?
12:07Well,
12:08I'll do my best,
12:09but there'll be lots of bits left out,
12:10no doubt.
12:11It's a great chapter.
12:13One of my commentators says
12:15it's the
12:16most concise
12:18New Testament
12:19resume
12:20of the Christian faith
12:22and the conduct
12:24that it
12:25inspires.
12:28He also describes it
12:29as a
12:30model
12:30pastoral
12:32letter.
12:32There's a lot
12:34here for us
12:35and
12:36I really want
12:38to cheat
12:39in a way
12:39and start
12:40at the end.
12:41Why was this letter
12:42written?
12:44Well,
12:44go to chapter 5
12:46of 1 Peter
12:47and
12:48look with me
12:50at verse
12:5112.
12:531 Peter 5
12:54verse 12
12:55where Peter
12:57writes,
12:58with the help
12:59of Silas
13:00whom I regard
13:02as a faithful
13:03brother,
13:04I have written
13:05to you
13:06briefly
13:07encouraging you

13:12of God.
13:13Stand fast

31:29in them
31:29was
31:29pointing
31:31when he
31:32predicted

31:40prophets
31:41down
31:41through
31:41the
31:41Old
31:42Testament
31:42and
31:42they're
31:43speaking
31:43God's
31:44word
31:44thus saith the
31:45Lord
31:45they're pointing
31:46to Christ
31:47they're talking
31:48about what
31:49is to come
31:49and they want
31:52to know
31:52more
31:52and they can't
31:54discover more
31:55they want to
31:56know what it's
31:57really all about
31:58and what benefits
31:59going to be for
32:00them
32:00and I
32:03guess
32:03sometimes
32:05some of us
32:05when we look
32:06at some
32:06Bible verses
32:07challenge
32:09some of
32:09those verses
32:10challenge us
32:11and we want
32:11to know

32:21sometimes
32:23we wish
32:24we could see
32:25how it's going
32:25to work out
32:26on some
32:27issues
32:28Christians
32:29good Christian
32:29people have
32:30different
32:30views
32:31and sometimes
32:32sadly they
32:32fall out
32:33about it
32:34and that's
32:34a tragedy
32:35we need to
32:36be united
32:37and acknowledge
32:38that we don't
32:38know all the
32:39answers
32:39God knows
32:40the answers
32:41he works
32:41his purposes
32:42out
32:42and we're
32:43to accept
32:44his word

32:50doesn't it
32:52tell you
32:52here in these
32:53verses too
32:53as we

32:57well that
32:58they discover
32:58that
32:59it wasn't
33:01for them
33:02it was for
33:03those who
33:04would follow
33:04in other
33:05words for
33:05us
33:06for Peter
33:07the believers
33:08then
33:08we know
33:09so much
33:10more
33:11than those
33:12ancient
33:13prophets
33:13knew
33:14but that's
33:16the work
33:16of God
33:17the Holy
33:17Spirit
33:18those who
33:18preach the
33:19gospel
