Sermon Transcript Tone Analysis

Wait upon you.

It's hard to wait on you.

Because we can be an impatient people.

It's hard to walk in faith, not living according to site or I'm sorry, not not, not living according to the confidence of what, we don't see in your promise, in the present physical visual Realm.

We often respond to the circumstances of our life, rather than waiting on you to work in situations or circumstances, depending on the confidence of your word and your character, and your faithful works.

Over thousands of years past.

It's a little, we express your beauty.

Our desire to declare your praise.

The wonderful character, not just that you have, but who you are.

And ultimately that is what drives us to.

Wait.

That is what enables us to be patient because we know who you are.

We've seen how you work.

In your people's lives.

And we need your help.

So help us Lord to seek YouTube to be patient.

We love you.

And we need you.

Very desperately.

We need you.

We pray these things in Jesus name.

Amen.

Amen.

Will please take your seat.

Good morning, church family.

It's a really good to see everyone this morning.

My name is Matt wanted pastors here.

And if you haven't received an invitation.

We're having a luncheon after church Explorer, Oak, Grove.

If you're new, or to the church, I would love to have you join us for lunch?

There.

If your church member and your leg, hey, I'd love to have a free lunch today.

Coming and stay for lunch.

And I know we'd love to have you at 40 Grove is an opportunity for us to sort of.

I kind of call it an organizational handshake.

You know, it's an opportunity for us to tell you a little bit about Oak, Grove Church in and serve our distinctives.

And also in as importantly have an opportunity to get to know you a little bit and let you meet some other newer folks in the church as well.

So it typically goes from at 11:40 or 45 until the right around 1 or 1 give or take an hour or so, but we love to have you join us after church.

If it if you'd like to do that so that we're in a series called.

Holy his and we're talkin about what it means for us to two.

Rest in the beauty of the Lord, which is really what we saying this morning in that second song was so thankful for that.

And the fact that God has called us to set our sights on him to take pleasure in who he is and be satisfied.

Allow the beauty that the Magnum I'm going to just say, magnanimous character who got is two enthrall us so much that it affects how we live.

If it doesn't, we're not seeing God for who he is and then we followed talking about our vision last week and this week is to, to be a people who reach and teach and live out, what it means to be a wholehearted followers of Christ last week.

We focused on reaching in teaching and this morning we're going to look at what it means to be a wholehearted followers of Christ that I can be an intimidating phrasing and because you might think it instantly about all the things that you should be doing that are Godly that you're not doing.

And there's a place for that.

There's a time to look at how we need to be living that we're not ways that we're not living how we know that we ought to before the Lord.

But before we get to that, we need to examine our heart.

And what motivates us to live.

How do we begin to live as wholehearted followers of Christ?

And I really, honestly, I wrestled with whether or not to do it kind of a survey on that as of the Bible on that concept and I just landed at.

So, you know, we're going to look at one song that I think helps us have the right posture because living is a wholehearted follower of Christ is really more of a posture of our awareness of God's greatness.

Our need and our commitment to trust him.

Living is wholehearted.

Follower of Christ, is a posture of your awareness of God's greatness your need.

You are desperate need for God, our desperate need for God.

And our commitment to trust in him.

If you have a Bible with me with you or Anna, Bible app on your phone to an open that up to Psalm 86.

This should be a black Bible near you.

It is on page 460 to there.

So it's good to see the context of what we're reading in.

If we're going to look at this and three sections, this morning.

We'll look at the kind of the first and then the middle section and then do that than the end.

This is organized, which is really a few think of the Chevron sign or a greater than sign Point Parts.

One and three really line up.

But but they find their the Crux, their main point in that middle section of the song.

So we'll look here together.

So I'm 86 1 through 7. David is writing here.

And he says incline your ear O Lord and answer me for I am poor and needy.

Preserve my life where I am Godly.

Save your servant.

Who trusts in you, you are my God.

Be gracious to me.

Oh lord.

For to you.

Do?

I cry all the day?

Blood in the stool of your servant for to you.

Oh, Lord.

I do.

Do I lift up my soul for you.

Oh, Lord are good and forgiving abounding and steadfast love to all who call upon you.

Give hero Lord to my prayer.

Listen to my plea, for Grace.

In the day of trouble and the day of my trouble, I call upon you for you answer me.

What David is is saying here at the outset of the psalmist that we are to cry out to our Sovereign God from your place of desperate.

Need, you see if we don't recognize that.

We have a desperate need for God.

We will cry out to him will live life.

According to our own standard will love life according to our own resources and the resources of those around us.

But only when we see our desperate need number 14, savior.

Only when we see our desperate need for learning how to live, according to God's ways to live in a way that pleases the Lord, will we cry out to him?

We don't come to God as an additive for a life.

We cast off everything within us and we say I cannot do this without you.

God will, how does this happen?

But he speaks of his helplessness.

As I just mentioned.

He's poor.

He's he's needy, he's he's downtrodden.

He's a pain to others.
