Sermon: 1 Peter 4:12-19; "Committed to the Creator"
Date: September 9, 2012
Pastor: Michael Howard

Scripture:1 Peter 4:12-19

12 Dear friends, do not be surprised at the fiery
ordeal that has come on you to test you, as
though something strange were happening to you.

13 But rejoice inasmuch as you participate in
the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be
overjoyed when his glory is revealed.

14 If you are insulted because of the name of
Christ, you are blessed, for the Spirit of glory
and of God rests on you.

15 If you suffer, it should not be as a murderer
or thief or any other kind of criminal, or even
as a meddler.

16 However, if you suffer as a Christian, do not
be ashamed, but praise God that you bear that name.

17 For it is time for judgment to begin with God's
household; and if it begins with us, what will the
outcome be for those who do not obey the gospel of
God?

18 And, "If it is hard for the righteous to be saved,
what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?"

19 So then, those who suffer according to God's
will should commit themselves to their faithful
Creator and continue to do good.
