Sermon Transcript Tone Analysis

Read through chapter 1 and chapter 2. It has some interesting thoughts there, you know, some of the simple things in life or not.

So easy, right for instance, the English language.

Have you ever thought about that?

The English language is very difficult.

I didn't really, I didn't realize that until I realized how bad I was speaking in English.

And then a hero then you start thinking about some of the rules and some of the things that are found in English and Laura told me that a bear bear can't bear berries that y'all know that a bear bear cannot bear berries.

Now, y'all think about that for a little while.

It all sounds the same, doesn't it?

So when you get into and I remember as I was learning a different language, are they?

They told me right off the bat with me and my broken English.

They told me, they said you will never excel in your Saints, second language further than you have in your first.

And I was like man, thank you for setting the bar so low for me.

And then as I began to talk with other people about the language that, you know, a lot of them would ask me questions.

Why, why do you guys do this in English?

And I was screwing, I don't know.

That's just what we do and it just makes sense to us.

It's a simple things but it's very hard as I was thinking about that.

There was some other things in life that a very simple but yet hard for instance.

How about love?

Love is very simple.

That is very difficult with y'all, not agree with that.

And when you, when you start thinking about it, the love gets very complicated, the more that you get into it, the more difficult it gets one in particular.

How about forgiveness?

It's easy to say it on the on the superficial level about forgiveness.

But once you trying to implement some of those things he gets very difficult.

And here is where Paul is, this is what he's going to talk about today and he's going to walk through, you know, the things of this world may seem foolish.

When we talk about Christ, the things of Christ may seem foolish to the people of this world and the things of God are are so far behind the things of this Earth.

So this is where Paul is going to begin to teach and I believe that we can learn these simple truths as well.

We do not have to make it so complicated.

We do not have to make everything that we do.

So complicated.

The only thing that we have to do is keep our eyes.

And our ears and our hearts, in tune to Jesus Christ and what he has to teach us and that's all we have to do and that's what Paul's going to teach us today.

So as we have our Bibles open this, pray that God will open our hearts so that we could hear from him today.

Father, we come, and we are gathered in your mist.

I Am Lord.

What a wonderful reminder.

Lord, as we were singing the way maker.

Or do you put that song Upon A missionaries heart in Nigeria?

It's easy for us to sing that here in our culture.

Or we can go out and buy anything we want.

We can have water if we turn on the tap.

And we we have so many resources in so many things at times.

It's just so easy to forget that you are the way maker.

What that beautiful song was written from a lady who has not a lot.

You are the way maker.

And Lord, as we prayed for the Haitian missionaries, who were Who were or American missionaries that were taken captive in Haiti.

Lord, I pray that there would be a Philippian moment.

Allure where they are singing your Praises in the mist of their discomfort in their hurt.

And Lord, the jailers, the captors will begin to hear the gospel.

And it will radically begin to change them.

Lord I pray here today in the Stillness of this hour.

Where everything kind of quiet and stay down?

And her mind wants to disconnect and our eyes get heavy and we want to drift off.

Lord, I pray that you will keep us captivated by Your Word.

And we will hang on every word every, everything that is found before we will intently.

Look into your word to see the life-giving power.

It has rust.

Pray God that you would do the amazing.

And you will speak to our hearts and you will transform us from the inside out.

Lord, I ask this in the power, Jesus.

Hey, man, join with me in 1st Corinthians.

Chapter 1.

We're going to begin with Verse 18.

We're going to begin with Verse 18.

Now, Paul, after doing this introduction there, the Church, of course, they only give you a little bit of context.

The Church of Corinth was a very unique placed.

It was one of the main hubs that had that fed a lot of your supply lines, you know, today in our day and age, that's what the headlines were about the supply lines or are being bottleneck right now.

We can't get stuff.

Well, Court was one of those places that everything went through Corinth.

So when you have that kind of Port City right there in Corinth, all kinds of people from all over came to dwell in Corinth and it became a hot bed and became a place of multiple prostitution waves, the prostitution of gods that were being sacrificed to just a wild and Patras culture that was right there in Corinth.

So Paul goes and he begins to preach the gospel and it begins to change the people.

There.

He moves on a little bit down the road and fat when Paul wrote the letter to Corinth, he was in Ephesus and he began to hear that.

It wasn't too long.

That all of a sudden, they began to fight.

They began to have quarrels among them until Paul rights of first letter to them.

And many scholars.

And I'm one of those that agree that the first letter.

We don't know what it says.

We, we do not have any record that some people will try to take 1st Corinthians.

They try to break it up in different parts and they try to find the first letter.

I believe just thinking it.

When Paul wrote that skeet scathing letter to the people, they burned it.

I mean, what would you do?

If somebody called you out and he was over in Ephesus?

Who's this guy?

We are we are Courant.

Who is this?

Jewish going to tell us how to live?

Turn the second letter towards him and this is what we have.

I know, that's kind of weird for us at 1st.

Corinthians is actually the second letter, but here he's beginning to bring a men's fashions in the church, you know, how bad behavior and over.

The next couple of weeks we're going to be looking through that, he had to deal with it.

But here in this first issue, what Paul wants to lay down as the foundation is what is our focus on where you were getting this thing.

We're getting all messed up in this idea, but we need to do so, we need to get her Focus back.

One thing that I began to learn early on and missionary work.

And as God has worked in the churches that I've been a part of and all of that is God, when we turn our Focus towards him all this other stuff.

It goes away.

Did, you know in the moments of the Revival?
