Sermon Transcript Tone Analysis

So I don't know about you guys.

I watch TV.

I don't know if that's right location for you.

But I think it's very common thing.

What are the most popular TV shows?

I've seen what types of TV shows.

Are the remodeling TV shows, right?

You see a farmhouse.

You see it with Generations of difference, of add-ons of a farmhouse, sometimes part of the houses built in 1910 1930-1950 and so on.

And so someone comes in and 2021.

Are they going to do? Show me if you are going to make it into a beautiful home.

So fun to watch this because they reimagine spaces faces that you see as a kitchen.

They knock down the wall and everything is different.

But not only do we sit in our couches in our homes.

We watch these remodeling TV shows.

We get excited.

We begin to think.

What if my couch was over there.

What if my wall is that color?

What if I cleared away this wall?

And I made an island and their kitchen is more open.

It really just makes more sense.

If you notice the things that we watch the things that we engage, and

We want to become like the things that we adore, the things that we find beautiful.

We want to become just like that.

Until I don't know how you would describe God.

If I give you five words or you had five words?

May be faithful.

Maybe just maybe good.

And a few others.

Would you describe him as beautiful?

Do you have a category in your heart in your life?

Do you think of the almighty God? He's loving ingesting.

Gives his salvation.

Amen.

Ecuador him, you come into His presence in our, you moved in a way that you wants to be like him.

Do you want to use your coaster in your seat to him that you want to look at him and become like him.

Are there wolves in the heart in your life that you need to break down to make space for who God is and his Beauty.

So if you would, please stand for the reading of God's word, as we look at 2nd Corinthians, 3:4 and 5 will be drawing from.

PewDiePie passages.

I will start in verse 18 of 2nd Corinthians 3.

And we all with unveiled face beholding, the glory of the Lord are being transformed into the same image from one degree of Glory to another.

For this comes from the Lord.

Who is the spirit.

For what we Proclaim is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ, as Lord with ourselves as your servant.

For Jesus's sake, forgot who said let light shine out of Darkness.

I shown in our hearts to give the right of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ, but we have this treasure in Jars of Clay to show that it's a passing power belongs to God and not to us.

We are flicted in every way but not crushed perplexed but not driven to despair persecuted but not forsaken, struck down, but not destroyed.

Always carrying in the body, the death of Jesus so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies.

Today's light momentary Affliction is to paying us for an eternal weight of Glory beyond all comparison.

As we look not to the things that are seen, which of the things that are unseen, for the things that are seen a transient but the things that are unseen our Eternal, we know that if the 10 that is the Earthly home is destroyed.

We have a building from God a house not made with hands Eternal in the heavens.

This is God's word.

You may be seated.

So I'd like to give you a description or definition for beauty, as the quality of something, that brings pleasure Delight to the senses or satisfaction and meaning to the Mind through its appearance.

Value usefulness or desirability and the theological sense, whose quality is exhibited by God and instilled in his creation, but I think the bifurcation, the issue that we run into is that we look at Beauty and we think of it like an art gallery we think of it as other as outside of us and it has nothing to do with us, but I would argue much differently.

I believe that the beauty of God must transform us, and if we look at things that are beautiful and looks to be transformed, we must be most transformed by the one.

Who is most beautiful, which is God.

The question is not is God, beautiful, because as he reveals himself, we see him has beautiful.

The question is, where is he?

Where does he reveal himself?

And how are we to be transformed?

How is he calling you and us here as Grace as a community, as individuals in our small groups and our Ministries and our relationships.

What is he calling us to?

I believe that we see the beauty of God and creation.

The first page then it's his one.

We see creation.

They 126 the creation works but the light shine out of darkness and so on and so forth.

And we see this narrative necessary.

It was necessary to the ancient Israelites, just as it's necessary to it because when you look at the world around us, we begin to praise the rocks and the trees and the people around us to celebrities.

We tend to see them as the good instead of the good being our creator.

We look to the objects and we praise the objects because they are what draw our attention instead of them leading us back to God.

Instead, I speeding He's in and out of who he is.

And so I think we can tend to think.

Tend to think of Idols as the graven images of the ancient Israelites and they don't affect our hearts today, but that's not the case.

There are animals in all of our Lives, whether it's a relationship, whether it's food, whether it's money weather at work.

What ever takes the place of God as our Ultimate Security as our ultimate becomes an idol in our lives, even things that can be considered good.

And the Israelites struggled with this and we struggle with this, If we're honest.

We also see the beauty of creation post.

All the Claritin God's word.

I think we see it in our In our call to worship song, 81240, Lord, our Lord.

How Majestic is your name?

And all fear.

If you have set your glory above the heavens as an ounce of strong, man.

No. Babies.

Infants, declare the glory in the beauty of God, the Miracle of Life, the heavens above the Earth, the trees, some 19 that we've been encouraged to memorize.

How's the church yesterday?

The skies above proclaimed, the handiwork acai at night after night.

They pour forth knowledge of its Creations Duty.

Display the glory and the Majesty of God.

It's what it was created for what we're supposed to be looking for.

It's something I love Dooley about the Midwest.

We don't have the ocean.

We don't have mountains.

But my goodness, do we have sunsets?

Eastern Rises.

We have sunsets.

and,

Beautiful.

Where's the yellows and oranges?
