Sermon Tone Analysis

Pray

Intro - Welcome

Review, I said last week was the last week of our why series and it is but this week my prayer is that this connects all the dots

Church - we weren’t designed to do things alone, we are to be joining and be active in the church

Read your Bible - we are to be reading out Bibles, because how else can we know what God is saying to us

Tithe - we are to be giving 10% across the board, not just our income

Pray - we are to be praying, staying in constant communication with God

And if you are like me you begin to make lists that have other lists and you begin to feel overwhelmed with everything the pastor says you are supposed to do, or what the Bible says you are supposed to do

I would venture to say that even some sermons make you feel like, especially the last few weeks

When you hear you need to be active in the church

And you need to be reading your bibles

And you need to be giving 10 percent to God

And finally we need to be praying

When we hear those things maybe we become overwhelmed and we get to thinking that maybe this is not attainable and we start to buy into the lie Satan has for us

I feel like that at times, during our leadership meetings we have times like that, I bet everyone here has felt like that

But, but we must remember in all of this that our Christian walk with Christ, we are to just enjoy our time with God.

I would say that most us force our time with Christ, to check off the list or so the pastor has something new to peach on, but we do most of us probably just check off the list.

I was reminded that as believers in Christ we are to enjoy our time with Jesus

Just as Jesus went off sometimes we need that sometimes we need to go off and just enjoy our time with Jesus

We need to enjoy our time with Jesus because he desires to spend time with you, he loves you and he likes you

Now we all understand there are deserts you go through, sometimes you are in a season where you don’t want to something,

I do believe sometimes we have to muddle through it and continue to stick it even though we are not seeing growth or fruit, sometimes it is difficult to read our Bibles, but we know that we must be reading our Bibles

so when satan does attack us it is the thing we run to for Truth!

Johnny hunt quote??

Doing things you don't like because you know you need to

will eventually lead to

you likeing to do what you know you need to be doing what you used to not like to do

and that will eventually lead you to desiring to do what you know you should be doing

In Closing

I understand it is easy to come to church and get a list to check off and we can fake it till we make it, we can do the Christian thing and look like when we check the list off, at some point through that list i would bet becomes overwhelming and tough to keep up with, not giving excuses remember sometimes we have to muddle through it but remember we are to enjoy our time with Jesus, just like we enjoy our time with family and friends.
