Sermon Tone Analysis

INTRODUCTION:

WHY DO I EXIST ?

WHY AM I HERE, WHY WAS I CREATED?

IT IS SO IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO KNOW YOUR PURPOSE

EVERYTHING HAS A PURPOSE: WITHOUT KNOWING YOUR PURPOSE

SIN - MISSING THE MARK, EASIER WITHOUT GODS PURPOSE

PURPOSE OF A PEN = TO WRITE.

EXPENSIVE / CHEAP - BOTH WORK.

GOD HAS A PLAN FOR YOUR LIFE.

IF YOU DO NOT LIVE OUT HIS PLAN AND HIS CALLING FOR YOUR LIFE YOU WILL FAIL AT LIFE.

WHY IS THIS SO IMPORTANT?

1. FULFILLMENT

IF WE DO NOT FULFILL THE PURPOSE FOR WHICH WE WERE CREATED, WE WILL NOT HAVE FULFILLMENT IN OUR HEARTS AND LIVES.

(ALWAYS LOOKING)

FISH ON LAND / BIRD IN WATER - NOT FULFILLING PURPOSE - DIE

2. SUCCESS

MANY DEFINITIONS OF SUCCESS - MONEY, HOUSE, JOBS…

FAILURE IS SUCCEDDING AT THE WRONG THINGS.

(GODS PLAN)

3. DETERMINES PRIORITIES

PROPER PRIORITIES COME FROM KNOWING OUR PURPOSE.

EVER ASK SOMEONE IF THEY WANT TO GO GET SOMETHING TO EAT AND YOU HOP IN THE CAR AND ON THE WAY YOU BEGIN ASKING - WHAT DO YOU FEEL LIKE TO EAT: ITALIAN, CHINESE, MEXICAN: AND YOU ARE MAKING DECISIONS AT EVERY INTERSECTION..IF YOU KNOW THE PLAN YOU CAN SET A DIRECT COURSE BEFORE YOU BEGIN.

THE PLAN DETERMINES YOUR PRIORITIES.

IT IS IMPORTANT NOT ONLY FOR US TO KNOW WHAT GOD HAS SAVED US FROM - BUT WHAT HE SAVED US FOR

THE DAY YOU PLACED YOUR FAITH AND TRUST ON THE LORD JESUS HE GAVE YOU SOMETHING TO DO.

IF YOU HAVE NEVER FULLY TRUSTED GOD - YOU MAY BE WANDERING WITHOUT A PURPOSE THROUGH LIFE.

WHEN GOD CALLED YOU TO SALVATION, IT WAS A PICTURE OF AN AUTO SHOP- HE PULLED YOU INTO THE REPAIR CENTER AS A WRECK AND PERFECTLY RESTORED YOU.

BUT GOD DID NOT RESTORE YOU TO SIT IN THE GARAGE.

HE RESTORED YOU TO LIVE OUT HIS PURPOSE FOR YOUR LIFE.

WHAT WE THINK OF GOD HAS MUCH TO DO WITH HOW WE SEE OUR SELF - SO TODAY WE ARE GOING TO STUDY A SOME THEOLOGY AND THEN WE ARE GOING TO LOOK AT SOME MEOLOGY.

WHAT YOU THINK OF GOD - DETERMINES HOW YOU SEE YOURSELF AND YOUR PURPOSE.

IF YOU SEE YOURSELF AS AN ATHESIT OR EVOLUTIONIST - THEN YOU SEE YOURSELF AS AN ORPHAN OF THE APES, AND YOU END UP MAKING A MONLEY OUT OF YOURSELF.

BUT! IF YOU SEE YOURSELF AS CREATED BY ALMIGHTY GOD - YOU WILL WANT TO BECOME MORE, AND MORE CHRIST LIKE.

1.GOD KNOWS ALL ABOUT ME.

1. HE KNOWS MY CHARACTER.

VS1

HE SEES YOU, AND HE SEES THROUGH YOU.

(NOTHING HIDDEN)

KNOWN IS PAST TENSE - HE NOT ONLY KNOWS YOU KNOW, HE KNEW YOU BEFORE ANYONE HERE EVER THOUGHT OF YOU.

2. HE KNOWS ALL ABOUT MY CONDUCT.

V2/3

THAT THING YOU THOUGHT, DEED YOU DONE

PASTOR LORD - OF A LARGE CHURCH, WAS A VERY CREATIVE PASTOR - WENT UP IN THE ATTIC TO PREACH ONE SUNDAY MORNING.

NO ONE KNEW HE WAS THERE.

MUSIC WAS OVER, TIME FOR PREACHING - HE WAS NOWHERE TO BE FOUND - ALL OF A SUDDEN HIS VOICE PIERCED THE SILENCE ; TODAY I’LL BE SPEAKING FROM.... AND I KNOW YOU CAN’T SEE ME, BUT THAT’S OKAY - I CAN SEE YOU.

MRS SMITH - THAT IS A HYMN BOOK, WE ARE NOW USING OUR BIBLES, MR JOHNS THIS IS THE 3RD TIME YOUR GONE OUT TO THE RESTROOM, AND YES LITTLE KATIE, I SEE YOU LOOKING AT MICHAEL - HE IS A HANDSOME YOUNG MAN - BUT WE ONLY SEE HIM AT CHRISTMAS AND EASTER SO KEEP LOOKING.

THEY WERE PETRIFIED!! THIS IS HOW GOD SEES US - FROM ABOVE.

AND HE SEES ALL.

HEARS ALL.

KNOWS ALL.

GOD KNOWS MY CONTEMPLATIONS: VS.2

GOD KNOWS YOUR THOUGHTS, YOUR INNER MOST THOUGHTS.

LIKE THE PASTORS TIE, OR THE SONG WE JUST SANG, OR HOW MUCH LONGER CAN THIS PASTOR PREACH KNOWING I’M HUNGRY

GOD KNOWS YOUR CONVERSATIONS.

VS.4

GOD HEARS EVERY WORD THAT COMES OUT OF YOUR MOUTH.

OH BE CAREFUL LITTLE TOUNGE WHAT YOU SAY, FOR THE FATHER UP ABOVE IS LOOKING DOWN WITH LOVE - SO BE CAREFUL LITTLE TOUNGE WHAT YOU SAY.

I THINK WE CAN ALL AGREE - WE HAVE ALL SAID SOME THINGS WE DARE NOT REPEAT, AND NEED FORGIVEN.

MANY THINGS ARE OPENED BY MISTAKE, BUT NONE MORE FREQUENT THAN THE MOUTH!

HE HEARS EVERY WORD: EVERY PRAYER!

THIS MAY BRING FEAR TO YOUR HEART IF YOU ARE NOT SAVED AND A FOLLOWER OF CHRIST JESUS BUT! IF YOU DO KNOW THE LORD AS YOUR SAVIOR - IT SHOULD BRING YOU GREAT COMFORT.

WHY?

2. GOD IS ALWAYS WITH ME.

IT IS FOOLISH TO RUN FROM GOD.

YOU CANNOT ESCAPE GOD - HE IS EVERYWHERE , ALL AT ONCE.

OMNIPRESENCE -!

GREAT TO CALL THIS BUILDING THE HOUSE OF GOD - BUT HE IS EVERY WHERE - NOT JUST IN THE CHURCH BUILDING.

1. DEATH CANNOT HIDE ME FROM GOD.V7/8

BTW: SATAN DOES NOT RULE HELL, SATAN DOESN’T RULE ANYTHING.

ALMIGHTY GOD GOD RULES AND REIGNS IN HEAVEN AND EARTH AND IN HELL.

IF YOU DIE WITHOUT THE LORD JESUS, YOU WILL WAKE IN THE JUDGMENT OF FACING THE VERY GOD YOU REJECTED.

IF YOU DIE WITH JESUS YOU WAKE TO SEE YOUR SAVIOR FACE TO FACE AND IN THE JOY OF HIS PRESENCE IN HEAVEN.

GLORY!

DID YOU KNOW THERE WILL BE ABSOLUTLY NO ATHEISITS IN HEAVEN?

NOT A ONE. AT THAT MOMENT THAT WE ENTER ETERNITY THE CHOICE YOU MADE HERE AND NOW WLL FOREVER BE FINAL.

HEAVEN OR HELL.

- EVERY KNEE WILL BOW, JESUS IS KING.

EITHER YOU CONFESS IT NOW, AND HAVE HIM AS SAVIOR, OR YOU REJECT HIM NOW AND MEET HIM AS YOUR JUDGE - EITHER WAY - YOU WILL BOW TO KING JESUS.

2. DISTANCE CANNOT HIDE YOU FROM GOD.

DAVID IS SAYING IF HE COULD CATCH A RIDE ON A LIGHT BEAM, OR GO TO THE DEEPEST PARTS OF THE SEA - GOD IS ALREADY THERE.

WHEN YOU GO SOMEWHERE - YOU TAKE YOURSELF WITH YOU, AND WHEN YOU GET THERE - GOD IS ALREADY THERE WAITING ON YOU.

EVER OCCUR TO YOU THAT GOD DOESN’T GO ANYWHERE!

HE IS ALREADY THERE.

TODAY - YOU MAY BE RUNNING FROM GOD IN ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.

STOP RUNNING - GOD IS ALREADY HERE WAITING ON YOU.

3. DARKNESS DOESN’T HIDE YOU FROM GOD.

EVIL PEOPLE LOVE DARKNESS.

CAN’T HIDE FROM GOD

GOD SEES THROUGH THE NIGHT

NIGHT WAS ONLY CREATED FOR HUMANS TO REST THEIR EYES.

BEING SCARED OF THE DARK.

HIDING FROM JAMIE.

3. GOD HAS A WONDERFUL PURPOSE FOR ME!

HE CREATED YOU - YOU ARE HIS WORKMANSHIP - CREATED.

ONLY A FOOL WILL SIT IDEALLY BY AND PROCLAIM THERE IS NO GOD - AND NO REASON TO BE SAVED FROM SIN.

HE IS THE MIGHTY GOD:

THERE IS NO SIN HE CANNOT FORGIVE.

(ALL HAVE SINNED)

THERE IS NO PRAYER HE CANNOT ANSWER (CALL ON HMI)

THERE IS NO SOUL HE CANNOT SAVE (CONFESS HIM)
