Kenny Djafar - Sermon "God of Wonders" Glow Youth Pluit Psalm 77:14

Covenant Caswell

Isaiah 9:1-10:4 
Pardon the Interruption 
 
I. Need a Break? 
1. Sometimes interruptions are rude so a polite person will say, “Pardon the interruption.” 
2. Part of the appeal of Christmas is that it’s a break in the normal routine, the daily grind. 
3. By December 26 we’re looking forward to a break from Christmas. 
4. In the movie “Stalag 17”. American prisoners of war get a break for Christmas, and break-out. 
II. The Interruption (9:1-7) 
A. The Decree 
1. Chapter 8 was a gloomy, filled with predictions of afflictions, misery, flood of distresses, etc. 
2. Galilee, is suffering degradation, now occupied by the Gentiles; they are walking in darkness. 
3. Now they “have seen” (as if already done) “great light”. They are already made “glorious”. 
4. This isn’t just a prediction. This is a decree of the Lord for whom history is “his story.” 
5. The decree was issued in eternity past. What it declares can be spoken of as already done. 
6. The Messiah who fulfills this promise, has broken the yoke of our former bondage. 
7. The Son set us free and “if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed” (John 8:36). 
B. The Son 
1. King Ahaz, of Judah, burned his own son in the fire as a human sacrifice. 
2. “according to the despicable practices of the nations . . .” (2 Kings 16:3) 
3. The Son is “given.” He’s not earned. That’s the basis of our relationship with the Lord. 
4. The Son we are given is the Son who has the “government on His shoulder”. 
5. He is a “Wonderful Counselor”, unlike counselors the people were chasing after. 
a. They got counsel from necromancers, the dead. Today, people seek astrology. 
b. People are turning to superstitions based on ignorance of the cosmos, instead of the Lord. 
6. He’s also the Mighty God, not just a man, like people impressed by the world. 
7. The Son will be the “Everlasting Father” who gives Himself for His children, unlike Ahaz. 
8. He is the Prince of Peace who brings restoration, tranquility, and reconciliation with God. 
9. He interrupted the gloomy, dark record of history with on that first Christmas. 
10. Sadly, for some, for the unrepentant it’s back to the grind of judgment. 
III. The Determination (9:8-10:4) 
A. The Arrogant (9:8-12) 
1. The Lord has sent (past) a “word” (9:8), a decree, that “will fall” (future). 
2. It fell on them when the Assyrians destroyed the Northern Kingdom of Israel in 721 BC. 
3. Rather than being humbled by judgment, they are arrogant, defiant. 
4. They relied on Syria (King Rezin). The Lord is stirring up his enemies, on all sides. 
5. What they trusted in, in place of the Lord, is destroyed by the Lord’s decree 
6. He stretches out His hand. A signal of a military commander to attack. 
7. There is no break from the punishment the Lord is ordering for them to experience. 
B. The Godless (9:13-17) 
1. Despite the punishment, the godless still don’t repent, turn to the Lord. 
2. The Lord says He is cutting off the head (the leaders) and the tail (the followers. 
3. The tails are the prophets who are being wagged by the dog of public opinion. 
4. So, He lets the young men die in battle, the homeless freeze; people die of AIDS. 
5. For all this unrelenting judgment, He is still furious. He is still signaling attack 
C. The Wicked (9:18-21) 
1. Wickedness burns like those massive wild-fires consuming parts of California in the week. 
2. Because of God’s anger at their sins, the “land is scorched”. Because of God’s wrath. 
3. He’s letting them have it to the full; He’s giving them over to it (as in Romans 1:18ff). 
4. They devour each other because they use each other for themselves. 
5. The diseases, the loneliness, superficial relationships, becomes its own punishment. 
D. The Unjust (10:1-4) 
1. “Woe to [kings, judges, law-makers] who decree iniquitous decrees”, depriving of justice. 
2. The unborn are our prey; sacrificed because they can’t offer any politician a benefit. 
3. The order continues, God is determined to forever, attack, punish, charge. 
IV. Invitation: God could pour out His righteous anger on us for billions of years and still say, “His anger has not turned away.” Yet, that’s not what He’s zealous to do. He’s zealous to give us a Son. The Son was given because God’s anger is rightly never turned away from sin. He determined, by decree, to give us His Son. And His hand was stretched out, on a cross, so that we could have a break from that eternal wrath so that our punishment could be interrupted, eternally, by pardon.

This is the second message from our series, "The Original Christmas Playlist," and it focuses on one of the very first Christmas songs - Zechariah's song, as found in Luke 1:68-79. 
 
When we're first introduced to Zechariah in the Gospel of Luke, he is a broken, old man. He had waited and hoped and prayed for so long... but God had not answered. 
 
It felt like God had forgotten about him. 
 
Have you ever felt like that? Like God has forgotten about you? Like God has abandoned you? 
 
Zechariah's song comes after a long, hard struggle... but Zechariah's waiting is rewarded, and God blesses him and his wife Elizabeth with a baby. And not just any baby - this baby is the forerunner for the Messiah, the promised one who will save all people. 
 
Zechariah's song is about God remembering and offering us new hope, new life, and a new way. 
 
God came to visit us personally - to intervene on our behalf and offer us a solution in the midst of our hurts and disappointments. God came down here with you in mind - God came down to show you how much he loves you. 
 
Recorded at Beatrice Mennonite Church on December 10th, 2017.

The Advent Series - 6th December (Luke 2:6-7)

Faith Lutheran Church

It has begun.&nbsp; And, no, I am not talking about Advent.&nbsp; I am talking about the non-stop screenings of those syrupy, sentimental Christmas movies on the Hallmark channel.&nbsp; I am talking about the Disney portrayals of Happy Holidays where there is joy and happiness forever after.&nbsp; I am talking about Madison Avenue advertisers telling us what Christmas should look like and what we need to have and do to make this an absolutely perfect Christmas.&nbsp; I am talking about the TV specials and bill boards and radio ads that give us a distorted understanding of Christmas and a bogus version of what Christmas is all about.&nbsp; I am talking about all the ways media and culture place before us an idealized version of Christmas. &nbsp;We see depicted in all of these settings ideal relationships, ideal children, ideal homes and holiday gatherings, idyllic Christmas dinners where all is bliss and where everyone is all smiles and all is perfection.&nbsp; And, as we look at all of this, I am talking about our tendency to seek out and try to pursue such ideals only to discover that our lives and our experiences never quite measure up!&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; 
 
 When talking about this search for the idyllic, theologian David Lose writes: 
 
 I suspect our longing for ideals is rooted in the desire to improve, to be always prepared to see potential, a vision for how something could be better. But this admirable, and no doubt evolutionarily productive trait can easily turn aspiration into envy and devolve from a determination to improve to grasping for an ideal that, no matter how unrealistic, nevertheless undermines the reality with which we’ve been blessed. And that, I think, is the greatest danger of idealized pictures – whether painted by Rockwell, created by Madison Avenue advertisers, or concocted in our own imaginations: they lead us to see what we have – and often who we are – as insufficient, unworthy, unimportant. 
 
 So, on this first Sunday of Advent, as we look at our gospel reading from Mark, I think we are given an opportunity to begin this season in a different, maybe even healthier way.&nbsp; We are called back to reality as it is. 
 
 Initially, the 13th chapter of the gospel of Mark is frightening and chilling to read.&nbsp; And, while it has sometimes been interpreted as a prediction of the future to frighten future generations, we must look at the historical context and think about what was happening when it was written. &nbsp;Mark 13 is NOT a prediction about the future.&nbsp; This writing from Mark follows a long tradition of apocalyptic literature and it is all about providing comforting words to people as they faced their present life and present experience.&nbsp; Mark’s words describe what his readers had already seen their brothers and sisters in Christ experience.&nbsp; Written around 70 CE, Mark is writing to a community of people who were facing horrific situations. Christians were being dragged before local authorities, sometimes by members of their own family.&nbsp; They lived in fear.&nbsp; War was on the horizon and, in fact, already happening as they experienced the Jewish Revolt of 66-70 CE, a war that brought the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem. &nbsp;For these early Christians, it felt as if the world had ended, and in some very real ways, it had ended. 
 
 You see, when people are experiencing fear and going through great pain, you’ve got to acknowledge that pain, that grief, the seriousness of the obstacles that stand before you and not bury it or cover it up by simply saying, “Don’t panic, everything will be ok.”&nbsp; So, Mark tells these early Christians: 
 
 Yes, there is serious pain in the world, in your community. There are wars and rumors of wars. There's strife within families, and even within the family of faith, those called to be one in Christ. And God's name is profaned, an abomination to those for whom God's name is the name of one who feeds the hungry, lifts up the lowly, and frees the prisoner. &nbsp;So, when you see these horrible things happening, don't think it's a sign that the kingdom of God Jesus promised is late in coming or has been derailed. &nbsp;We don't know the day or hour, but we know that God is faithful, and Jesus' resurrection from the dead is a sign to us as it was to Mary Magdalene, Simon Peter and our own wounded communities: Jesus is coming, and God's kingdom, inaugurated with Jesus' ministry, is being revealed and finding fulfillment. (Sarah Dylan) 
 
 &nbsp; 
 
 Friends, this same word is Good News for us. There is serious pain in our world.&nbsp; There are wars and rumors of wars.&nbsp; There is strife within our families and even the family of faith.&nbsp; God’s name is regularly profaned and used as a political prop to assert power over the powerless — even by those who claim to be Christian as they twist what it means to be a follower of Christ by enforcing policies that take away food from the...
