Sermon Transcript Tone Analysis

Heavenly father.

Thank you for for sending your son.

To give his life for us.

There's not a one of us in this room.

That is deserving of your.

Life-giving sacrifice.

We're not worthy and yet, you've made us Worthy.

and that's a, that's a seemingly contradiction in terms are Concepts that we really have difficulty understanding and so We acknowledge that your ways are higher than our ways and your thoughts higher than our thoughts and we accept, and believe in faith.

According to your word, these things you tell us about who we are and not who you are.

But how you've loved us about how we're to love you.

We thank you that we bring you our offerings and Hazard Hazard are offering our life as our offering.

In our attempts to bring you offerings, our attempts to love you and serve you fall wool.

Felicia short.

But the beauty of that is your love for us, does not depend on.

The level of.

Perfection if you will for our efforts.

Your love for us.

Depends on.

Christ's sacrifice on the cross.

And when we are in Christ.

You could not love us more.

And you don't love us less.

Please capture our minds and our hearts with that reality.

With that.

Glorious truth.

In Jesus name.

Amen.

Hey, man, please take your seats.

You know, one of the things that I've always kind of appreciate about the Christmas season, is the Reese's commercial some time with our service members around the world.

And I I love why they're not really commercials right there.

There are no spots but their publicity spots on TV and I love seeing these things because at times, it kind of gets out of sight.

Out of mind.

We know that there are people serving our country around the world, some domestically, and some in Friendly territory and some not-so-friendly territories, but we just kind of get going about our days.

And it's easy to forget.

It's easy to forget, or maybe.

To let it.

You do drift forming in the front of her mind, until I love those ads because those spots because they bring right back into the front of our minds, the reality that there are men and women who made a decision to go and and use their lives to help.

Keep us safe.

You noticed, right?

They could have some different messaging.

Obviously, or what?

Not.

Doesn't matter, except that they would just be in front of us.

In that way.

I just think that would be tremendously helpful up for us.

It would help us.

It would honor their sacrifice.

May I could just say so much about that.

But listen, among the many reasons that people decide to or give to join the armed forces.

Most, if not all go with the understanding that they may give their lives in service to our country.

In other words, that go with a particular purpose in mind and a same, and more is true of God giving sending his son Jesus to his Earthly, post to his Earthly station, the father, since the sent the Sun for a particular purpose, in one of our most well known Bible passages.

We read it Christmas.

We read Matthew 1, 20, through 23, an angel of the Lord appeared to to him, but to Joseph in the dream saying, Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, or that which is is conceived in her, is from the Holy Spirit.

She will bear a son and you shall call his name Jesus.

For he shall save his people from their sins.

All this took place to fulfill with the Lord has spoken by the prophet.

Behold a virgin, that will conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel, which means god with us.

A particular Mission requires a particular plan.

God has never been a reactionary God.

He's never have seen how the flow of the world take place, and then into a bag of strategies to figure out what is next.

Isaiah 53 tells us and asked to 22 and 24 times as much as think about it, if our Armed Forces, went into a into a war or into a particular battle in a war, right?

Cuz we know that Wars are made up as battles and different things like that, if it went into a particular theater, and then then on the way over they start creating their battle plan or they land.

And then they start trying to talk about what we're going to do or how this is going to look.

I mean, we be done.

We would be done and they would, they would lose that.

They went into with that.

In mind, Isaiah 53 tells us that it was the will of the Lord to crush Jesus.

I want to try to slow down when we read that because we really easy to just read that as a as a fact or a truth about God and just keep moving on.

But just think about that reality for a minute.

We've had some really fun family nights.

This Christmas season, we read through reading through an advent book at.

We had some fun nights recently sitting on the carpet, playing games laughing, and sparring, and wrestling and picking on each other.

And I'll tell you, you do all of those does, think the game that we played the wrestling, the that you do, whatever it might be.

All those things are just tools to really, to be able to be together.

There's nothing I love hearing more.

Maybe a bit of an overstatement, but then when are kids, we just get to laughing and they just start belly laughing?

When I could just record that and I could just play that for hours.

Right.

I told I told her to talk to the kids yesterday, Sherilyn, busted a gut laughing at it and I was like, I didn't even think you think I was funny.

It was just in ways that I don't even know how to describe.

Thing, I want you to go and die for those mean, people over there.

And you're going to love them and they're going to spit on you.

They're going to treat you like garbage.

You deserve to be treated like royalty.

They're going to, they're going to treat you.

Like I just I just can't even imagine what that's what our father did in sending his son.

Jesus x223 says, when he's preaching is kind of in the middle of this sermon, if you will.

And he says this Jesus who is delivered up according to the definite plan and foreknowledge of God, you crucified and you killed by the hands of Lawless, man, been soaked in God's Eternal purpose.

God God's master plan, the father devised a way, a plan do away with the requirement of the law for salvation.

Who is a question?

What, why, why would God do away with this old Covenant system?

If it was working so, well, why would God need to devise, or or put into practice or put into effect this additional or secondary plan?

Well, it didn't work.

And God wasn't surprised by this.

In fact, I need for the New Covenant.

Since before the foundation of the world, God, devised an old Covenant and he devised a new covenant.

And sending Jesus.

He says out with the old and in with the new rights of Jesus's purpose in coming to Earth to the Virgin birth was to abolish, the old Covenant and its sacrificial system and to establish a New Covenant, right?

Until the law is the law of the rules and regulations that the men and women had to keep perfectly right there.

Not one slip-up in order to have an internal relationship with God, the Father will we know since the days of Adam and Eve?
