Brian Becker – The Worlds We Create: Justice
Isaiah 61:3 (NIV)
…bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair…
Isaiah 61:3b (NIV)
They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor.
Other-worldly
Romans 12:2 (NLT)
Do not copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person…
The Way We Think
The Words We Say
The Things We Do
Biblical Justice
Social Justice
Racial Justice
Orthodoxy: Believing the right things
Orthopraxy: Doing the right things
James 1:22-24 (NIV)
Do not merely listen to the word, and so decide yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in the mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like.
James 1:26 (NIV)
But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it-not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it-they will be blessed in what they do.
James 2:14-18 (NIV)
What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warn and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead. But someone will say, “You have faith; I have deeds.” Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds.
The church is only as valid as it is effective in doing what Jesus did.
Proverbs 31:8-9 (NIV)
Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy.
Jeremiah 22:3 (NIV)
This is what the Lord says: Do what is just and right. Rescue from the hand of the oppressor the one who has been robbed. Do no wrong or violence to the foreigner, the fatherless or the widow, and do not shed innocent blood in this place.
We create worlds by:
The way we think.
The words we say.
The things we do.
Psalm 146:7-9 (NIV)
He gives justice to the oppressed and food to the hungry. The Lord frees the prisoners. The Lord opens the eyes of the blind. The Lord lifts up those who are weighed down. The Lord loves the godly. The Lord protects the foreigners among us. He cares for the orphans and widows, but he frustrates the plans of the wicked.
God’s message is to bring justice to:
The outcast
The overlooked
The marginalized
The vulnerable
The voiceless
Micah 6:8 (NASB)
He has told you, mortal one, what is good; And what does the LORD require of you, But to do justice, to love kindness, And to walk humbly with your God?
Do justice
Love kindness
Walk humbly
-Micah 6:8
Biblical justice is the work of making individuals, communities, and our world whole, by supporting goodness and impartiality in work to reflect God’s original intention for all of creation to flourish.
Jesus was constantly drawn to:
The outcast
The overlooked
The marginalized
The vulnerable
The voiceless
Classism
Sexism
Racism
Ableism
1 John 3:16 (NIV)
This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters.
1 John 3:17-18 (NIV)
If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person? Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.
“I’ve never done anything to them.” vs. “What can I do for and with them?”
How does my life reflect that I am for the vulnerable and marginalized in my community and my world?
Follow the pattern and path of Jesus:
Draw close.
Feel their pain.
Seek to understand.
Help alongside.
Sacrifice for others.
Point to Jesus.
Love God.
Love People.
Prove it.
Do justice.
Love kindness.
Walk humbly.
-Micah 6:8 “True peace is not merely the absence of tension; it is the presence of justice.”
-Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Sermon Notes - January 2, 2022
The Worlds We Create: Words Create Worlds - Megan Lemmons
“Our words create worlds.” - Pastor Jo Saxton
Genesis 1:1-9
In the beginning when God created the heavens and the earth, the earth was a formless void and darkness covered the face of the deep, while a wind from God swept over the face of the waters. Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. And God saw that the light was good; and God separated the light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day. And God said, “Let there be a dome in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters.” So God made the dome and separated the waters that were under the dome from the waters that were above the dome. And it was so. God called the dome Sky. And there was evening and there was morning, the second day. And God said, “Let the waters under the sky be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear.” And it was so.
Genesis 1:26-27
Then God said, “Let us make humankind in our image, according to our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the wild animals of the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth.” So God created humankind in his image,in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.
As those who are created in the image of a creative God -- we ourselves are creative people.
“Clearly, we are not equal partners with God in creation. God created and continues to create in a way that is totally different than anything we can do. God creates out of nothing. We take what God has already created, and we create something using already-existing forms and objects.” - Author Lynn Baab
James 3:2-6
Indeed, we all make many mistakes. For if we could control our tongues, we would be perfect and could also control ourselves in every other way. We can make a large horse go wherever we want by means of a small bit in its mouth. And a small rudder makes a huge ship turn wherever the pilot chooses to go, even though the winds are strong. In the same way, the tongue is a small thing that makes grand speeches. But a tiny spark can set a great forest on fire. And among all the parts of the body, the tongue is a flame of fire. It is a whole world of wickedness, corrupting your entire body.
Proverbs 11:9
“Evil words destroy one’s friends; wise discernment rescues the godly.”
Proverbs 15: 1
“A gentle answer turns away wrath, but hard words stir up anger.”
Proverbs 15:4
“Gentle words bring life and health; a deceitful tongue crushes the spirit.”
Proverbs 25:18
“Telling lies about others is as harmful as hitting them with an ax, wounding them with a sword, or shooting them with a sharp arrow.”
Proverbs 18:4
“A person’s words can be life-giving water; words of true wisdom are as refreshing as a bubbling brook.”
John 1:1-5, 14
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through him, and without him not one thing came into being. What has come into being in him was life, and the life was the light of all people. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it. And the Word became flesh and lived among us, and we have seen his glory, the glory as of a father’s only son,
What kind of world are we creating?
How has God’s word impacted my own life?
How have my own words brought destruction?
How can I begin to use my words to partner with God in his work of restoration?

The Good News of Rest - Hebrews 4:9-12 - Grant Hickman
Hebrews 4:9-12
A Sabbath rest remains for the people of God. For the one who enters God’s rest has also rested from his works, just as God did from his own works. Thus we must make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one may fall by following the same pattern of disobedience. For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any double-edged sword, piercing even to the point of dividing soul from spirit, and joints from marrow; it is able to judge the desires and thoughts of the heart.
Make every effort to rest.
Sabbath is a reminder that we live in two worlds - this world and the world that is yet to come. When we sabbath, we find joy, holiness, and rest.
Let’s rest together in God, our Creator, and His Word.

Good News: Long Awaited, Unexpected Good News - Brian Becker
Luke 2:10-11 (NIV)
But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.
Advent: Waiting, longing, and tension of the in-between and not yet.
Come, Though Long-Expected Jesus
Charles Wesley-1744 Advent Hymn
Come though long expected Jesus,
Born to set Thy people free;
From our fears and sins release us,
Let us find our rest in Thee.
Matthew 1:18 (NIV)
This is how the birth of Jesus the Messiah came about: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be pregnant through the Holy Spirit…
Matthew 1:19 (NIV)
Because Joseph her husband was faithful to the law, and yet did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly.
Matthew 1:20 (NIV)
But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit…
Matthew 1:21 (NIV)
She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.”
Matthew 2:16 (NKJV)
Then Herod, when he saw that he was deceived by the wise men, was exceedingly angry; and he sent forth and put to death all the male children who were in Bethlehem and in all its districts, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had determined from the wise men. Waiting Should... Waiting Can...

“Hoping does not mean nothing. It is the opposite of desperate and panicky manipulations, of scurrying and worrying. And hoping is not dreaming. It is not spinning an illusion or fantasy to protect us from our boredom or our pain. It means a confident, alert expectation that God will do what He said He will do. It is imagination put in the harness of faith. It is a willingness to let God do it His way and in His time.” –Eugene Peterson
May you experience the Holy Sacred Presence of God in the in-between wherever life has brought you.

“Glory to God in the highest, and peace on earth to those on whom his favor rests.”
Profession
Transgression
Micah 5:2 (MSG)
But you, Bethlehem, David’s country,
the runt of the litter-
From you will come the leader
who will shepherd-rule Israel.
He’ll be no upstart, no pretender.
His family tree is ancient and distinguished.
Grace: The unconditional acceptance given to an undeserving person by an unobligated giver. It’s one-way love.
Everybody is Welcome
Nobody is Perfect
Anything is Possible
Ephesians 2:8-9 (NIV)
For it is by grace. You have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God-not by works, so that no one can boast.
John 1:12 (NIV)
Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God…
Receive grace for what you’ve done.
Receive grace for who you’ve become.
Grace, grace, God’s grace,
Grace that will pardon and cleanse within:
Grace, grace, God’s grace,
Grace that is greater than all our sins!
Marvelous, infinite, matchless grace,
Freely bestowed on all who believe!
You that are longing to see His face,
Will you this moment His grace receive?

Come to Worship: Lift Our Hands
Matthew 2:2 (NLT)
“Where is the newborn king of the Jews? We saw his star as it rose, and we have come to worship him.”
3 Postures of Worship:
• Bow Our Knees
• Pour Out Our Hearts
• Lift Our Hands
Psalm 28:2 (ESV)
Hear the voice of my pleas for mercy, when I cry to you for help, when I lift up my hands toward your most holy sanctuary.
Psalm 119:48 (ESV)
I will lift up my hands toward your commandments, which I love, and I will meditate on your statues.
Psalm 63:4 (ESV)
So I will bless you as long as I live; in your name I will lift up my hands.
Psalm 63:1 (NIV)
You, God are my God, earnestly I seek you; I thirst for you, my whole being longs for you, in a dry and parched land where there is no water.
Psalm 63:2-3 (NIV)
I have seen you in the sanctuary and behold your power and your glory. Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you.
Psalm 63:4 (NIV)
I will praise you as long as I live, and in your name I will lift up my hands.
Wrong Question: “Do you raise your hands at church?”
Right Question: “Are you reaching out to God?”
Exodus 17:8-13 (NIV)
The Amalekites came and attacked the Israelites at Rephidim. Moses said to Joshua, “Choose some of our men and go out to fight the Amalekites. Tomorrow I will stand on top of the hill with the staff of God in my hands.”
Exodus 17:8-13 (NIV)
So Joshua fought the Amalekites as Moses had ordered, and Moses, Aaron and Hur went to the top of the hill. As long as Moses held up his hands, the Israelites were winning, but whenever he lowered his hands, the Amalekites were winning.
Moses reached out to God.
Exodus 17:8-13 (NIV)
When Moses’ hands grew tired, they took a stone and put it under him and he sat on it. Aaron and Hur held up his hands-one on one side, one on the other-so that his hands remained steady till sunset. So Joshua overcame the Amalekite army…
Moses reached out to God.
Moses relied on the reach of others.

Grief becomes worship when we cry out to God
Grief becomes worship when we choose to wait on God
Romans 5:1-2 (NIV)
Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God...
Romans 5:3 (NIV)
Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings...because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope.
Romans 5:5 (NIV)
And hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.
Isaiah 40:31a (NIV)
Those whowait on the Lord will renew their strength...
Psalm 142:3-4 (NIV)
When my spirit grows faint within me, it is you who watch over my way. In the path where I walk people have hidden a snare for me. Look and see, there is no one at my right hand; no one is concerned for me. I have no refuge; no one cares for my life.
Psalm 142:5-6 (NIV)
I cry to you, Lord; I say, "You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living."
Listen to my cry, for I am in desperate need; rescue me from those who pursue me, for they are too strong for me.
Psalm 142:7 (NLT)
Bring me out of prison so I can thank you. The godly will cord around me, for you are good to me.
Grief becomes worship when we grieve with the people of God.

Come to Worship: Bow Before Him
Come to Worship is a 3 part series allowing us to take the time to focus on who Jesus is, on what He did for us, and on the power of the Virgin Birth. The title of this series is taken directly from Matthew’s gospel, Matthew 2:2, “Where is the newborn king of the Jews? We saw his star as it rose, and we have come to worship him.”
The story of the wisemen happened a couple of years after Christmas time.
Where is the newborn King of the Jews? We saw his star as it rose and we have come to worship him.” Matthew 2:2
The wise men didn’t come to GET something from God, but they came to offer worship to Him. God does not exist for us, but we exist for Him, and we flourish in life when we live for Him. We are created to glorify Him, to worship Him, to make Him known, and to bring Him honor.
Worship is not just songs and singing, it’s a posture of living. When we worship, we flourish - even in the hard times.
In this series we’re going to look at three different postures of worship:
* Bow our Knees
* Pour out our Hearts
* Lift up our Hands
These are three postures of our body, but also postures of our heart. Bow Our Knees
When [the wise men] saw the star, they were overjoyed. On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary and they bowed down and worshipped him. Matthew 2:10-11
Scholars tell us that the wisemen likely traveled 900 or so miles to get to him, and according to their judgment Jesus was probably around 2 years of age.
The prestigious, high-society group of wisemen did not allow unique or unlikely circumstances to keep them from taking a posture of kneeling and bowing down and worshipping God.
Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the Lord our Maker; for he is our God and we are the people of his pasture, the flock under his care.
Psalm 95:6-7
A Hebrew word translated as worship: shâchâh
Shachah is used 170 times in the Bible. It means to bow down low, to stoop, to crouch, or kneel in worship. It doesn't mean just worship, but inside this word is the posture of kneeling in worship.
He must increase, but I must decrease.
John 3:30
To worship God is to say - God I want you to become greater in my life.
There are two unique ways that we can bow down in worship:
* We kneel in service
* We kneel in submission Kneel in Service
God longs for us to not merely sing in worship, but to live our lives as worship. And the way to worship God with our lives is to shâchâh; to bend low, to stoop down, and serve others with our lives.
I hate, I despise your religious festivals; your assemblies are a stench to me. Even though you bring me burnt offerings and grain offerings, I will not accept them. Though you bring choice fellowship offerings, I will have no regard for them. Away with the noise of your songs! I will not listen to the music of your harps. But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream!
Amos 5:21-24
Jesus modeled this kneeling in service to his disciples when he washed their feet.
Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God; so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist…After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him.
John 13:3-5
Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, so what did he do with his power? He kneeled down to serve. We worship God when we kneel to serve others in his name.
‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’
Matthew 25:40
Jesus reconciles us to God AND our neighbors, gives us the grace to be transformed in his image, and calls us to follow him in faith, loving God AND our neighbor. We worship God because of this Good News. And it should compel us to worship God as we serve others. Kneel in Submission
Jesus is our example.
[Jesus] withdrew about a stone’s throw beyond [his disciples], knelt down and prayed, “Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done.”
Luke 22:41-42
Jesus knelt in submission - not my will but your will be done
And being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground. When he rose from prayer and went back to the disciples, he found them asleep, exhausted from sorrow.
Luke 22:44-45
Kneeling to pray is often what gives you the strength to stand.
We come to worship, like the wisemen, when we kneel. It wasn’t a picture perfect nativity. The circumstances could have been better, but they recognized the awe and wonder of a God whose name was Immanuel - God with us.
Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the Lord our Maker; for he is our God and we are the people of his pasture, the flock under his care.
Psalm 95:6-7
