Sermon Transcript Tone Analysis

Well, good morning and welcome to New Grace Baptist Church and we are so glad that you are here today.

I'm recording this on Sunday morning, January 9th, of course, is everyone knows we have cancelled church for the last 2 weeks, because of the covid.

And hopefully, we can get back together at church in the near future.

But what I thought I would do is I would finish our series that we started back in October.

I believe on on angels and, and this is it here.

Angels Messengers from God.

I thought that I would finish that The day and then when we do get back together at church, we can probably start a new series and I do want to wish everyone a Happy New Year.

We were not able to meet last week first Sunday of the new year.

So I hope everyone's had a good New Year and I hope you have a prosperous and safe and successful 2022.

Matter fact, when we get back together at church.

I think I'm going to preach a new year sermon on on how to be prosperous and successful this year and somebody's going to say what he's the Prosperity Gospel preachers Prosperity, but I guarantee it will be biblical.

But today, I want us to finish up on our series Angels Messengers from God and today the sermon title.

Is angels and you and what I want to do today is basically this is kind of going to be a recap and and I'm going to give you tea and cruise but I'll talk more about that in a moment.

So let's look at our definition that we have used in this series for angels, and I'm going to put it up on the screen here and here's our definition.

That's kind of short, but I think it gets right to the point.

Angels are intelligent moral and Spiritual Beings created by God who worship Him and carry out his wheel and purposes in heaven and on Earth.

So this is our definition of angels, their moral intelligent their Spiritual Beings, even though Angels do appear sometime in physical form and we talked about that, but they were created by God all were created at the same time and they were created to glorify.

I am to worship Him and they carry out his will and purpose is not only in heaven, but on Earth as well.

So one of the reasons that I I wanted to do a series on Angels because several years ago, so probably been actually a couple of decades ago.

There was just a flood of a books and materials on the secular Market about angels and probably in the last couple of decades, has been over a hundred books written on angels and a lot of it is speculative and fantasy and kind of wild-eyed stories that, you know, have filled magazines and movie theaters and television programs.

And I know most of you remember, maybe some of you remember.

I think it was back in the 90s, the TV program Touched by an Angel.

Some of you probably watch that the people are really interested in angels.

And and talk about it as never before, but we need to ask ourselves as we see.

All this information is this new interest in angels?

Is it a return to biblical truth about these Messengers?

Or is it just another?

Something in the growing number of spiritual fads in our culture.

In other words is an old truth that's being Revisited or is it really new age teaching, this being repackaged?

So if you will, remember, let's briefly kind of go over what we've talked about so far, Angel, if you remember we started with Angel Mania and and we said, they're how, you know, the United States and all over the world is just a has magnified angels and they really a lot of secular books have been written about them.

And so we talked about that in our first lesson in this series and and we talked about how angels are to guide us and encourage Us in to they deliver us and they Empower us.

So we kind of got a Biblical concept of angels and then we asked a question in our second sermon what are angels and we talked about their crew.

Haitian in their substance, and we said that they are innumerable.

There's there's a number of them but it's just probably in the millions and millions and how angels are also Immortal angels, Don't Die.

Maybe that's something that you learned in this series that you didn't know.

Before, for the most part.

The angel are the angels are invisible and they're Invincible as well.

So we talked about what Angels were in their creation and their substance and then next week, talked about angels that you may know and we looked at the different categories of angels in the Bible.

Sometimes they were called host.

And remember there was the seraphim and there was the cherubim and remember, they were two angels mentioned in the bible, Michael and Gabriel.

So we talked about them and then we had a lesson on, Guardian Angels, you know, a lot of people believe that they have a guardian angel that is specifically assigned to them.

And I'm not saying that you don't, it seems in scripture when Angels would come God could call on any angels and most time he would call on the number of Angels at one time.

Not just one.

But again, you know, we see a lot of books and material written on guardian angels.

And we looked at what the Bible said about that.

Well, then, of course, we had to also look at Lucifer and he was the Fallen Angel.

And course, we were talking about Satan, and we study the scriptures in the Old Testament about where I'll Satan was kicked out of heaven.

If you remember, the reason he was kicked out was because of his pride.

He wanted to be like God, he wanted to take God's place.

And then after that, we talked about Hells Angels or demons and we talked about what they do in our lives in and how they promote the purposes of Satan.

But also how God can use.

I am sometimes to promote his own purposes and we talked about how we talked about demon possession and said that, you know, a Christian cannot be demon possessed because we have the Holy Spirit living within us, but we can be demon oppressed.

And so we talked about the role of demons.

In the next, we talked about angels and death.

Then we looked at how the Bible describes death.

And then we looked at the role that the angel seem to have in death that when a Believer dies.

It is the Angels who come in a rusher in to Heaven.

We'll talk more about that in the lesson today.

And then we looked at this special angel in the Bible called the angel of the Lord who seem to be almost Divine.

And remember, we said that this was probably the pre incarnate appearance of Christ in the Old Testament.

Remember the angel of the Lord appeared to Moses.

Is an Abraham and Hagar and Jacob in the nation of Israel.

So we talked about this special Angel of the Lord.

And then the last time we talked about angels in Jesus and how Angels were involved in the life of Jesus.

And remember the Angels announced his birth, the Angels administered to him in his temptation early in his ministry.

Remember the Angels were with him and guess, simony and minister to him.

They were the ones that I announced kids Resurrection.

When the lady showed up at the to remember, it was the Angels who carried him to heaven in his Ascension and there were also Angels On The Ground, they're speaking to those around and so they were involved in his birth and get simony in his resurrection in the Ascension.

And if you look at the Bible, they will be involved in.

The Rapture as they'll be the voice of an archangel when the dead in Christ, rise, and then when Christ comes back in his second coming, the Bible says that he's going to be coming with his Angel.

So it's very important that we understand the ministry of angels because they're so prominent in the Bible, especially in the Life of Christ.

Well today, what I want us to talk about is angels in you and slow.

What I'm going to do is I'm going to give you today.

10 of the major throughs that we have learned as we studied about angels, and is some amazing things about angels that I hope that you won't forget.

I know we've talked about a lot of things, but I've just kind of broken it down and I'm only give you 10, major throughs that we need to remember about angel.

So, we'll go through these quickly.

Today.

We're going to have some scripture with each one.

I'll make a few comments about it, but we'll try to get through this pretty quickly.

So here's .1.

It is simply this that Angels render worship to God, but they are to never receive worship.

Now.

Let's look at the s in Revelation.

Chapter 5 verses 11 and 12.

And this is what the Bible says.

Then I looked and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne the living creatures.

And the elders and the number of them was 10000 * 10000 and 5000 of thousands saying with a loud voice.

So here are the Angels around the throne and it says the number of them was 10000 * 10000 and 5000 of flat.

And they were saying with a loud voice.

And what were they saying with a loud voice?

Worthy is the Lamb who was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength, and honor and glory and blessing.

So, hear the angels and John is able to go up into heaven and see this around the throne and he said, they was just a myriad of angels everywhere.

And they were saying, Worthy is the Lamb.

So, in other words, they were worshiping God.

Now, if we have A desire for angels that is greater than a desire for our creator.

Then that will lead us to trouble.

And look how Colossians 2 + 18 says this.

Let no one cheat, you of your reward, taking the light in false humility and worship of angels intruding into those things, which he has not seen vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind.

So it says, taking the light in false humility and the worship of angels.

So we know that we are to never worship Angels.
