Sermon Tone Analysis

*Ps 95:1-11*

1 O come, let us sing unto the LORD: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation.

2 Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms.

3 For the LORD is a great God, and a great King above all gods.

4 In his hand are the deep places of the earth: the strength of the hills is his also.

5 The sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land.

6 O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker.

7 For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand.

*To day if ye will hear his voice*,

8 Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness:

9 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work.

10 Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and said, It is a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known my ways:

11 Unto whom I sware in my wrath that they should not enter into my rest.

(Heb 3:7-11)

 

*Heb 3:12-19*

12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.

13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

14 For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end;

15 While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, *harden not your hearts*, as in the provocation.

16 For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses.

17 But with whom was he grieved forty years?

was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness?

18 And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not?

19 So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.

*Heb 4:7-16*

7 Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts.

8 For if Jesus had given them rest, then would he not afterward have spoken of another day.

9 There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God.

10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his.

11 Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief.

12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.

14 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.

15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.

16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

*Num 14:19-24*

19 Pardon, I beseech thee, the iniquity of this people according unto the greatness of thy mercy, and as thou hast forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now.

20 And the LORD said, I have pardoned according to thy word:

21 But as truly as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the LORD.

22 Because all those men which have seen my glory, and my miracles, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and *have tempted me now these ten times*, and have not hearkened to my voice;

23 Surely they shall not see the land which I sware unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked me see it:

24 But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto he went; and his seed shall possess it.

Þ  *Heb 4:1*

*Let us therefore fear*, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem *to come short* of it.

*1 Cor 10:1-13*

1 Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that *all* our fathers were under the cloud, and *all* passed through the sea;

2 And were *all* baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;

3 And did *all* eat the same spiritual meat;

4 And did *all* drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.

5 But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.

6 *Now these things were our examples*, to the intent we should not lust after evil things, as they also lusted.

7 Neither be ye idolaters, as were some of them; as it is written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.

*/Exod 32:6-9/*

/6 And they rose up early on the morrow, and offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play./

/7 And the LORD said unto Moses, Go, get thee down; for thy people, which thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves:/

/8 They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them: *they have made them* a molten calf, and have worshipped it, and have sacrificed thereunto, and said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt./

/9 And the LORD said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people:/

 

8 Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.

9 Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted, and were destroyed of serpents.

/Num 21:4 And they journeyed from mount Hor by the way of the Red sea, to compass the land of Edom: and the soul of the people was much discouraged because of the way./

/5 And the people spake against God, and against Moses, Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness?

for there is no bread, neither is there any water; and our soul loatheth this light bread./

/6 And *the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died.*/

/7 Therefore the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the LORD, and against thee; pray unto the LORD, that he take away the serpents from us.

And Moses prayed for the people./

/8 And the LORD said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live./

/9 And Moses made a serpent of brass, and put it upon a pole, and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he beheld the serpent of brass, he lived./

10 Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer.

*/Phil 2:14/*

/14 Do all things without murmurings and disputings:/

 

*/Jude 1:16-19/*

/16 These are *murmurers*, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage./

/17 But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;/

/18 How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts./

/19 These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit//./

*/Mal 3:13-16/*

/13 Your words have been stout against me, saith the LORD.

Yet ye say, What have we spoken so much against thee?/

/14 Ye have said, *It is vain to serve God: and what profit is it that we have kept his ordinance, and that we have walked mournfully before the LORD of hosts?*/

/15 And now we call the proud happy; yea, they that work wickedness are set up; yea, they that tempt God are even delivered./

/16 Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name.//)/

*/Exod 16:2-3/*

/2 And the whole congregation of the children of Israel *murmured against Moses and Aaron* in the wilderness: /

/3 And the children of Israel said unto them, Would to God we had died by the hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh pots, and when we did eat bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger./

/ /

*/Exod 16:8/*

/8 And Moses said, This shall be, when the LORD shall give you in the evening flesh to eat, and in the morning bread to the full; for that* the LORD heareth your murmurings which ye murmur against him*: and what are we?

your murmurings are not against us, but against the LORD.(KJV)

/

*/Num 14:26-28 (ouch)/*

/26 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,/

/27 How long shall I bear with this evil congregation, which* murmur* against me?

I have heard the *murmurings* of the children of Israel, which they *murmur* against me./

/28 Say unto them, *As truly as I live, saith the LORD, as ye have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you*: (KJV)/

11 Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written *for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come**.*

12 Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.
