Sermon Transcript Tone Analysis

Good morning, church family.

Today is Sunday, November 20th, 2022, We are continuing and the in whom I trusted series.

And today we want to talk about the following a line or decline.

What do you think?

I'm mean.

At you remember where some centering this and surrounding this around 1st Samuel 9. Chapter 10 and chapter 13 and we'll be taking selective scriptures out of those verses are those chapters, excuse me, first Samuel, 9 or Samuel 10 and 1st Samuel 13th and the 10th chapter of 1st Samuel today, but this will be the primary scene as we begin to study.

So anybody want to share what that means to you and you look at a line or decline.

And put it in context to what we talked about last week, which was God said it.

Do you agree?

Cricket's, just waiting to go on the jail.

Nobody has anything to say.

I look at it.

What God Said from from me, and my life.

With the Holy Spirit revealed to me on a day-to-day basis.

I agreed To that contract that to uphold and adhere to his will, from for me.

And for my life, when I accepted him, I could've, you know, it's too much in your work.

I want to do all this part of your work.

I'll get half of it.

But I'm still kind of connected to what I was doing before and I'm just that it's going to take a minute for me to get there, or maybe I just sent Same cuz I just don't think.

The other one.

But now I knew that when I know accepted Jesus as my personal, Lord and savior.

I'm accepting him as my master.

And for me to be.

So if I decline that, then I'm not aligning myself with the word of God.

I'm not aligning myself with God.

I'm asking you is going to be to God, if I could climb when he sang, I need to do.

And then I'm going to go through some stuff.

I'm looking at God's word and in my life that it's working for me and helping me.

Why would I do that when we were meeting?

You know, last time we were talking about stall last time and how he

What's the weather in?

Was not really paying attention to doing what God wants.

You know, because that's exactly what we said that type of question.

So, handsome and the tallest

But when God chose, what people were looking at.

But people were looking at all because he was handsome.

People said they wanted to give you what you want, I'll give you that, but it wasn't who got really was going to have after it's hard to believe a man after his own heart.

And so I was not that guy even though he was tall and handsome and all of that.

But he wasn't Proof that he wasn't so he didn't even do what God his glory.

So you know, he got the results and I look at that.

I don't want that because I know you have something better for me.

And that's what I got out of it again.

See that, you know, it.

and, because they were looking at the Other nations in how they would govern themselves and all the stuff in that.

They For the day, one of the king for themselves.

What they want and so he allow them to have a key.

So we ended up with exactly what he said.

Attributes that nobody else song outside.

and, you know, sometimes as we go throughout our daily life

Take the same perspective.

Correct.

Or is it?

It makes sense, right?

That that alignment part is it is that we want God's blessings go for my way beyond what I feel what I know you know and I just trust me.

I trust your way is better than we're definitely in the realm of what we want to talk about today and it is something to understand realize and accept that when you confess Jesus as your lord and savior.

That you're responding to the call to Salvation and you're making are you should be making a concerted effort to begin for a line, your life to the word of God.

And if you're not aligned in your life to the word of God, you're declining.

And that is kind of where we are in society today.

I want God, but I want God on my side.

I don't necessarily agree with all that's in the Bible and now that we live in this high-tech age where you can Google anything You can present yourself in a controversial way.

That would suggest you don't believe all that's in the Bible because you don't believe that God is the one that put everything in the Bible.

Talk about that.

I don't even know that this is really what God has to say.

How we know that this is who God really is and what he really wants us to do.

We can trust man and we can go down the list that was before the pulpit and lied to look at this in a very skeptical way instead of researching because if you start researching and understanding the context of the word, you'll see a common theme that takes place and it doesn't matter.

The time that is common theme exist, man.

Is man, we're going to be Who We Are.

And we never deviate from what and who we are.

Unless there's an intervening force that influences up is bigger than us to do it and that would be not know that we're about to go into taking it into its contact.

We want to remind you of a few things and you touched on it in your car.

One, there was a decline of a priesthood that wasn't serving God.

You had the high priest who had his son.

Offering Wayward worship to say the least to God and how they were securing the offerings.

That the people of God, we're trying to render to God.

So can you imagine the grumbling and the complaining that's taking place there?

They're supposed to be the representatives of God and they are corrupt.

So there's a fatigue, a weary this because of their corruption.

Why should I sacrifice when it's not going to the one I wanted to go to which is God, how can I be assured that?

I'm going to receive the blessing I'm looking for in my offering when this, this Wayward priest that's taking what really belongs to God.

Then you hear God's pronouncement over that priesthood, which was a decline of Eli and his whole entire life be like, if me and son died in battle against the Philistines, take the ark.

And then he'll, I became reaction and response to his sons have been killed.

And more importantly, the ark has been taken now that enemy that God allowed to overcome the Israelites and take the ark away still exists.

The Philistines are still there and they are occupy the territory of Israel.

And they're doing.

So, in a way that suggests our God is better than your God.

So if they were living in oppression before meeting the people of Israel and they are living in a pressure now because they have a profit, that's Rising whatever.

Samuel says, God did not allow me to fall to the ground, but who else, who else do we have?

That's the leader that we can look too that we can rely on and that we can follow.

They didn't understand that there should have been upward cuz they're still looking outward for the, what the validation now is that any different from what's going on today?

We still do the same thing.

We are looking at work for a leader that will lead us into some Realm of success, some realm of Freedom, some Realm Of Joy, right?

Instead of looking up work, we're still looking at 1. Then they go to Samuel and say, look your cool but your sons are just as wicked as he lies.

We're so we don't want to do this anymore.

We want something new gym, us a king because they believe that it's only a king that can help deliver them from the enemy that still is occupied their territory.

They don't understand, you have the fight in you.

If you would just align yourself to the one that can defeat your enemy, So, when Samuel goes to God and says, I'm just stressed, I'm summarizing here.

I'm just stressed because they want a king.

God pills.

Don't be because before they rejected you or declined you they rejected me.

It's not you that they are.
