Sermon Tone Analysis

Matt 18:15-18

15 "If your brother sins against you, go and show him his fault, just between the two of you.

If he listens to you, you have won your brother over.

16 But if he will not listen, take one or two others along, so that 'every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.'

17 If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church; and if he refuses to listen even to the church, treat him as you would a pagan or a tax collector.

18 "I tell you the truth, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.

Matt 5:22-24

 

22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.

23 Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee;

 

24 Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.

If your scholarship was revoked, would you do whatever you had to do to pay the money yourself to receive your education, or would you just stay home and quit school.

Would you go to a village and start a church under a mango because there was a need.

Or would you wait for someone to provide money for a building before you would evangelize the people with the gospel.

Would you take opportunity to cheat on a test if you knew without doubt no one would discover your act?

Would you go and complain about a brother to someone else, or would you go to the one you had a problem with and speak to him directly?

Would you feel comfortable asking for money from a musungo and using it to pay for the rent of your house, even though it was given for food in conference?

Would you feel it proper to ask for funds to buy bricks, when there were termite mounds for brick making on your land that lacked only your labor for free bricks?
