I Am Who You Say I Am
Intro
Tonight our last Hello my name is card, we are going to fill it out at the end.
As we wrap up our series called Hacked, let us look back on where we have come.
The first week we talked about what others think of us and what we say about ourselves.
The second week we dove into our past, and had talked about what our past said about us and what we hope our future will say.
There are many voices that shape our identity.
I know very little about music, yet since coming to Bethel I have had to dabble a little with the soundboard and trying to understand music.
Know I don’t know if you know this or not but those playing instruments up here have something in their ears that helps them stay on track with the band.
They are called in-ear monitors.
These in-ears help the band stay together.
Everyone has the ability to decide what they want to come into their in-ear system.
Are you tracking with me?
Not every in-ear is the same, some may like to hear the guitar more, or the keys, or maybe they want to hear Austin’s Angel like voice more.
They all have a choice on who they allow into their ears.
There are many voices that are fighting to be heard by use.
Each of us get to decide what we allow to come into our ears.
We all get this in-ear monitor and we must calibrate the voices we let in.
Of course you decide this it could like this:
More boss and less past
More spouse less Dad
Maybe you need more teachers and less friends.
More mentor, less social media
More Jesus, less of everything else
While it may be tempting to push the mute button on all those additional voices, sometimes all that is required in for us to adjust what we are letting in.
Don’t mute your coach, your teachers, your mom, or your pastor, but you may need to turn them down.
I do not know the perfect mix for you.
However, however loud God is in your life, turn it up louder.
We know this to be true that even the good voices can cloud the voice that we most desperately need to hear— The voice of God.
“Your identity is the right identity when you let it be defined by what God says about you.”
Tonight we are looking at the most important aspect of our identity.
Who does God say we are?
To answer this we are going to turn to 1 Peter.
actually.
Before we do that let look at the book of 1st Peter as a whole.
The book was written by a guy named.... that right George… No just kidding, it was by Peter.
Peter was a follower of Jesus.
Jesus had 12 disciples that he spent a great amount of time with and he had about 3 disciples that he spent a ton of time with, as they were his inner circle.
Peter was a part of that inner circle.
Peter is a incredibly interesting person of the Bible.
If you do not know who he is read the Gospels, the first four books of the Bible, and Act and you will get a goo picture of who this dude was.
But since we do not have time to go through all of that let us hit the highlights of Peter.
Peter was personally called by Jesus to follow after him.
Mark 1:
Peter was able to see Jesus in all of his glory as something we call the transfiguration.
Peter proclaimed who God was.
Peter was bold and got out of the boat and walked on water to Jesus.
He was one of the first to see that the tomb was empty!
Jesus’ body was gone!
John 20:2-
He got beat in a foot race but only John was keep track of that.
Peter would go on to be filled by the Holy Spirit and he would lead thousands to know Jesus.
Acts 2:
Peter did some amazing things;
But Peter I think like you and I made some identity shaking mistakes.
While Peter got out of the boat to walk to Jesus, he was over taken by his fear.
Peter who proclaimed Jesus as Lord, would also deny Him not once but 3 times.
Luke 22:55-
How about when Paul confronted Peter to his face because Peter was being a hypocrite.
Galatians 2:11-
I think it is far to say that despite Peter’s failures God used him in a mighty way.
I believe that despite our failures, God can use you in a mighty way.
Why?
says this:
God chooses the rejected
Lets back up just a bit to the start of chapter 2
1 Peter 2:4-
This world may reject you, they will tear you down, they will make you bleed, and they will make you cry, they will come at you!
but listen to this LISTEN:
AS YOU COME TO THE LORD… It may be on hands and knees with nothing left in the tank....
REJECT by people!
IN THE SIGHT OF GOD YOU ARE CHOSEN AND PRECIOUS.
Tell the person next to you that you are chosen and precious.
If you believe this to be true this STOP WALKING AROUND AS A VICTIM.
YOU ARE CHOSEN LOVED ONES.
God is using you as living stones to build up his Kingdom!
So honor him, if you believe in Him, If you believe in the stone that was rejected by men who was Jesus, if you believe in Jesus as your Lord and savior, honor God.
For those who do not believe.
Verse 8
They will stumble over the rock— They will trip over Jesus, know
that stone that was rejected— He will be a rock of offense.
They will stumble because they disobey the word, as they were destined to do.
BUT you believer— you are a chosen race.
Deut
This promise that was made to the Israelites means the same to us
But not only are we chosen people but we are royalty- a royal priesthood.
Exodus
Isa 6
The priest had such an important role in the OT:
The priest had such an important role in the OT:
Exodus
A priest is required to act as a mediator.
He is one who represents the Divine being (AKA GOD) to His subjects and in return from them to God.
He acts as an ambassador, a chosen vehicle through whom Yahweh God has chosen to serve the people and represent Him, on His behalf.
In Exodus this applies to Israel who God made this convent with.
The royal priest were to show that God had no rival, they were to show the other nations the glory of GOD.
Yet they failed over and over again.
HOWEVER, God’s kingdom of priest those who believe consist of the Church of Christ.
It too is to mediate God’s blessing to the nations, as it proclaims the Gospel.
We are called a holy nation.
