Living Hope St. Peter
“Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy, he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead…”

As we enter 2023, I thought it would be an excellent time to focus on our Living Hope. The best example of this Living hope can be found in I Peter when he begins his letter with an ancient church doxology celebrating the redemptive work by the Father, Spirit, and Son, and then introducing the salvation that the divine work has produced…a Living Hope. Peter was testifying about this encouraging living hope as he wrote to the Jewish Christians who had been driven out of Jerusalem and scattered throughout Asia Minor. Their circumstances were difficult, but their future was secure because God would deliver them. Peter was ensuring them of their victory, vindication, and reward that they would experience at the return of Christ.

Peter’s perspective is that we are all strangers and aliens in this world because we are citizens of heaven and a part of God’s Kingdom. Since we are citizens of heaven, we should live Godly lifestyles and bless those that persecute us so that we can witness to those who reject us and oppress us.

So come and invite a friend as we encounter this Living Hope and praise God the Father, God, the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.

When Jesus refers to himself as the door or gate of the sheep, he’s using a familiar metaphor for his listeners. It would’ve been commonplace to see shepherds and sheep wandering around.
Jesus draws his metaphor from the imagery of a sheep pen, which was an enclosure usually made of stone walls. At night, the shepherds would bring the sheep in there to allow them to rest securely. The sheep would enter one at a time, while the shepherd would stop each sheep with his rod and check each one out for wounds. He would let them through one by one and drop his rod over the next one and when he had examined him, would let the sheep in.

Shepherds would even share a sheep pen and put all their animals in this enclosure. All of the village sheep would be in one fold which was the place of protection.

Historians have found evidence that when these shepherds put the sheep in the pen at night, the shepherds would lie across the front of the pen and would act as a guard. They were effectively a door or gate for the sheep pen. This was not only to prevent predators from getting in but to prevent sheep from getting out. The shepherds would lay across and fall asleep there or stay watch. The sheep would go in or out only with the shepherd’s care.

Join us Sunday as we continue with John’s “I am” statements when Jesus said: “I am the Gate.”

Welcome to Summer! This summer our sermon series will be centered around the Gospel of John. We will follow Jesus’ seven “signs” (what John called Jesus’ miracles) and ponder Jesus’ seven “I am” statements found in John’s gospel. We will discover that John’s gospel is different from all the others because 90 percent of John’s gospel is unique. John’s “signs” and “I am” statements prove to us that Jesus is the Son of God. All these “signs” and “I am” statements were recorded by John so that we may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God and that by believing in Jesus we may have everlasting life in his name.

June 19 I am the bread of life / Feeding of the 5,000
July 3 I am the light of the world / Healing of the man born blind
July 10 I am the gate / Healing of the man by the pool of Bethesda
July 17 I am the good shepherd / Jesus walks on water
July 24 am the resurrection / Raising Lazarus from the Dead
July 31 I am the way the truth and the life / Healing of the Officials son
August 7 I am the Vine / Turning Water into Wine

See you Sunday and please invite a friend,

Historic day today the Rev. Jim Ross came to worship with us. He was baptized and called into ministry at this church and his family has been apart of the Church Hill community for generations! He was also a wonderful mentor for Pastor Mike as a young starting clergy person.

This Sunday we finish preaching through the entire bible! We close with the book of Revelation. To get a feel for the book of revelation, I think it would be good for us to reflect upon our summer vacation.

Let’s face it, some days are hard. Some days are so full of stress and anxiety and fear and heartache that you long to get away.
Maybe you went to an all-inclusive resort in paradise where you lounged on the beach all day. Or maybe your choice was a cozy ski resort in the mountains where you shooshed up and down the slopes and sipped on hot chocolate as the sunset. Like any good vacation, it was probably a time filled with delicious food, beautiful sky, and laughter.

Vacations are suspended spans of time where stress is left behind. No bills to pay. No deadlines to meet. Only an opportunity to commune with God, nature, and loved ones.
But then the weekends. And as soon as you arrive back home you can feel it again. The things that need to be done. The concern about projects. The relational tensions. Back to a world where it seems as if Satan might be winning. But for a moment, you had a tiny taste of what could be.

The Book of Revelation is an authentic taste of what will be. It is the promise that in the end, God wins. Life may be hard now. Life may be unfair now. There may be challenges now. But in the end, God will demonstrate he is the Victor.

And he will give us life in Paradise. The Apostle John was given a vision of the New Jerusalem that comes down from heaven. It is an immense place. Some get caught up in the dimensions outlined in Scripture. But I believe the purpose we are told of the size of heaven is to give us the assurance that there is room for everyone.

“All who call on the name of the Lord will be saved” (Romans 10:13). The end will be much like the beginning. The God who shaped Eden out of chaos will take the chaos of our world and shape it into something new. A New Heaven and a New Earth.
So, call on his name and make your reservation. It’s all-inclusive.
See you Sunday as we wrap it all up with the good news we find in the last book of the Bible.

See you Sunday at 2:00 p.m.

When you are holding on for dear life
One day in the late Spring they came to his cell in the Mamertine Prison in Rome and opened the door. His executioners led him out of the city on the Ostian Road.
As they were walking out, other travelers would have been walking into Rome. They would have paid him little attention. No one would have recognized his face. No one would have known about his crime. He was just another prisoner, just another “dead man walking.”
After traveling a few miles out, the executioners would have stopped. A block would be laid down. His head would be placed upon it. A sword would be raised. And in an instant, the head of the most influential writer of all times would roll upon the ground.
Paul had known his share of suffering, but he did not shrink back from his calling. If we could look closer, we would see how scars spread across his back like a windshield crack and how wounds stiffened his joints. His own account of his hardships included floggings, lashings, beatings with rods, pelting with stones, shipwrecks, dangers from rivers and bandits and Jews and Gentiles, danger in the city and in the country, danger at sea and from false believers. He knew hard labor, lack of sleep, hunger, thirst, cold, and nakedness (2 Cor. 11:23-29).
It’s a wonder that he could move at all but move he did. From Corinth to Ephesus, from Thessalonica to Colossae, he left his footprints all over the known world of his day. His visits to these cities were not for sightseeing. He worked. Long days of preaching and establishing churches.
When he wasn’t walking, he was writing. He wrote letters to the church in Rome and Corinth and Galatia and Ephesus. He wrote to Titus, and he wrote to Timothy. Letters that continue to bless. God’s grace turned his world upside down and his life was spent telling others about it. Until that day on the Ostian Road, when he drew his last breath.
When you face struggles because of your faith, remember Paul. He anchored himself to a purpose that was higher and greater than his life. There are many fights you can fight, but Paul trained himself for the “good fight” (2 Timothy 4:6-8).
His fight did not end at death. His writings have encouraged, exhorted, and educated followers of Christ till today and for all the tomorrow to come. He gave himself totally to eternal things.
So can you. Fight the good fight. And like Paul, finish the race well.

See you Sunday at 2:00

Pastor Mike
