Sermon Tone Analysis

For the World

Matt 28

Lets take a journey through the last days of Paul’s life.

In Paul is writing to the Church in Rome.

He hopes to reach the Church of Rome to Encourage them.

However we are going to see that Paul did not write the book of Romans only for the Church there in Rome.

This was written with hopes to continue the message of Jesus to Spain and to the ends of the world.

From the moment that Jesus saved Paul, Paul would relevantly proclaim Jesus and proclaim His Gospel to the World.

The World is our mission field.

And we together are as much apart of this amazing movement of God.

As Paul was

Three Challenges for continuing that movement.

Stay Broken for the world

As one who had been saved by the Amazing Grace of Jesus, Paul couldn't bear the thought of people around the world missing this Grace

He was broken for the world and that brokenness compelled him forward

When was the last time you wept for a lost friend?

when is the last time you sacrificed ____________ for you friend who does not know jesus?

When is the last time you took time to really pray for the lost people in your life in your community and throughout the World?

We must be broken for the Lord Just as our Lord was broken for us

in Paul is under arrest but makes a appeal to get to Rome his appeal is granted and he begins his journey.

Unfortunately Paul is shipwrecked on his way to Rome .

When Paul is wrecked on the island of Malta, God begins to use Paul in Powerful ways this leads us to our 2nd challenge

2. Be relentless for the world

This part of Acts and Paul's Journey is a Reminder that we are called to be relentless for the world

Paul had a passion to get the Gospel of Jesus to Spain through Rome, but more importantly Paul had a passion that every person would know Jesus

Paul understood that even being shipwrecked on a lonely island was a mistake but of God’s will for His purpose

Our God is completely Sovereign, and nothing is by chance, Paul understood that his life was not his own and that the entire world needed Jesus.

No matter where Paul went he was relentless for Jesus for the World.

When do you serve Jesus?

When the church puts a mission trip together, a community activity?

a group event?

When your family tells you to?

A true moment of God happens when the church becomes relentless for the world

when we realize that the Holy spirit has called

all who have Jesus to share Him with this world

There was a young man born in 1792 in Hawaii his name was Henry Obookaih both of his parents and baby brother were killed during a war amongst the tribes William went to live with the village priest his uncle who after a year or so was chased and killed himself.

Henry barely escaping death a second time.

Henry saw a ship he ran onto the ship and told the captain he would rather be a slave than to stay and be killed

Henry and another Hawaiian boy set sail with the captain over the next two years they traveled the seas together a young christian soldier to Henry under his wing teaching him how to read and write English using the bible as the main literary source.

The landed in New hampture there Henry encouraged by the local church began to translate the bible into his native language saying that he one day would return to the islands and burn the wooden idols the false gods made by man for the One god who had made man and to tell all the island about Jesus.

He was set to go on the first missionary mission to the islands when he fell ill and died to Typhoid fever.

At his service his passion was shared to reach the islands of Hawaii

was read.

12 young missionaries 6 being Hawaiians went and by the grace of God from the passion of Henry answering the call Send me the Chain of Islands was Converted to Christianity.

3. Finish Well

Do it for Jesus do it for the Lost that they may see Him in you

Acts

Paul eventually gets to Rome.

In Rome, Paul is allowed to Live by himself with a soldier as a guard will under house arrest

Paul sets up two meetings with religious leaders

These leaders are intrigued and want to hear more.

Paul then encourages them to bring more people and he will tell them more.

Paul though a prisoner awaiting his execution sets up a revival in his home.

From morning to evening Paul shares about Jesus and people believe.

Paul has such eagerness and passion for what he believes people recognise his sincerity

This movement continues!

It continues through You!

We should be thankful for those who are finishing well for the kingdom of God!

We should be thankful for the pastors who have spent their lifetimes sacrificing much only to Preach and tell people about Jesus People Like Dr. Billy Graham who had such a passion for the lost in this world Sharing the love of Jesus to them

Jesus honored Pauls desires in Galations it says “I have been crucified with Christ”

in Philippians it is said “for me , to live is Christ, but to die is gain”

No one can confirm how or when Paul died but historically it is thought that most likely Paul was Beheaded there in Rome

Although Pauls life on earth ended there are two things to know

Paul is not alone- today surrounded by the church in heaven Many people are thanking him for his faithfulness and desire for each of them to know the Lord

For his brokenness for his relentless pursuit to take the Gospel out for the Lost for his ability to finish well!

2. The message that Paul proclaimed is still alive and well today

The reason why we proclaim the gospel of Jesus is because like Paul we are all wretched worthy of eternal suffering but like Paul the faithfulness of God is still alive and has set us free.

Let us pray that you and I will be known for nothing but the Gospel of Jesus, What we did to tell the world. in dedication of our lord and savior Jesus.

Be broken stay relentless and finish well for Christ.
