Sermon Transcript Tone Analysis

Good morning.

Church family.

Today is Sunday, January.

23rd 2022, we are still talking about the Holy Spirit within and this part of our journey, we talked about when people are committed to self.

Remember, we talked last week.

The topic was committed to religion not to.

This is the other part of this.

Message, if you will.

And here we want to talk about when someone is committed to self only.

The difference between those that are committed to religion, not to God, at least are presenting themselves as though they're committed to God.

They're just ignorant, Lee participate in their service thinking it says unto God, but just like Jesus said in John 16 33.

These things will they do because they have not known the father nor me.

So they're ignorant.

Worship or service.

If you will, is primarily based on what Jesus said because they have not known.

If they really knew God, they would not have killed price there.

After if they really knew God, they would not have been so incensed when Stephen said, what he said to them and his defense before they killed him.

If they aren't really known God, then they would not have done in the person of saw what he did before, he became Paul going after the Brothers and sisters that were of the Christian faith are beginning.

This Christian faith, persecuting them and putting them in jail.

So, ignorant service is based on this notion that even though you think you're serving God you're not because you don't even know.

What we're going to talk about today is a little bit different with through the ignorant service.

That's what we talked about last week.

We also talked about an example of true service in the acts of Philip.

As reflected in the next eight, five through eight that he went to the city of Samaria, preached about the price after his friend.

Stephen was killed, when the people there heard still up, and saw the Miracles he was doing, they all listened carefully to what he has to say.

And many of those people had evil spirits in them.

But Phillip May, the evil spirits.

Leave the spirits, made a loud noise when they came out.

Fill up also healed many week and crippled people there.

So the people in that city were very happy and it stands to reason that when they saw Phillip feel like there's that guy.

There's the one.

So we had a lot of attention.

I would say drawn on him.

But because he knew God through Christ.

Jesus.

He know how to handle that attention, because he knew it wasn't about him.

It was about the work.

He was doing of the God.

He was surfing a man, but now we want to introduce another character and example of the falsely committed, one that's committed to self, only acts 8, 9 through 13, but there was a man named Simon in that City before Philip King, their Simon had practice.

Magic animes all the people of Samaria.

He Brad and called himself, a great man.

Did you let me go back?

I want you to pay attention.

He brags and call himself a great man.

Difference between what we just said is reasonable to believe happened with Philip.

There's that man.

Others would calling him a great man.

Because of the, at the Miracles, he was able to perform this possessing people of evil spirits, healing the wheat and the crippled, they were a technology because those work spoke for themselves.

He didn't have to brag and call himself anyting.

A man speaks not too long ago at an event swearing in of a young African-American male.

Praise the Lord who was just appointed as a judge out here in the Antelope Valley.

Some very, very happy about that.

And one of the things that I came across was the definition of humility because this is one of the things I wanted to make sure he understood.

Now, it says, work hard in silence.

Let success speak.

So when you look at Phillip, the perfect example of someone who's acting in humility.

He didn't brag about himself.

He didn't label himself anyting here.

Simon is busy practicing magic and amazing.

The people of Samaria with his own act and he's putting a definition on his own app.

Lets you think it's something else.

It's based on him being a great neck.

Self-proclaimed committed to self only.

Tim says all the people the least important than the most important paid attention to Simon saying this man has the power of God called the great power.

Now, let's look at that again, all the people but least to the most important pay attention to So they heard him when he said he was a great man.

And they called him.

The man who has the power of God called the great power, as we finished it up for discussion.

Verse 11, says, Simon had amazed them with his magic so long that the people became his followers, told them about the kingdom of God in the men and women, believe, Philip and were baptized.

Simon himself believed did after he was baptized.

He stayed very close to Philip when he saw the Miracles and the powerful thing Philip.

Did Simon was a May.

So let's go back to that question.

Where do you think this affirmation of what Simon was supposed to be came?

From this man has to call the great power.

And if that were true, then who are the people

That Philip dispossessed of evil spirits?

If Simon was there doing the work of God, why were there people still Afflicted with evil spirits that needed to?

Be dispossessed.

Why was he able to kill?

Why were there weak and crippled people?

They're still in need of healing and when Philip told them.

About the good news, the kingdom of God in the power of Jesus Christ.

Why was there need to baptize people who allegedly already knew?

Who this God was because I M.

And most importantly, why would Simon in South Philly?

Be baptized and thereafter, follow Philip wherever he went to witness these powerful thing that Philip did.

And was amazed by then if he was a man.

Of God, the great man of God.

Stop the playing.

Let's open it up.

What do you all think?

Could have been acting as a false prophet.

Request of Believers.

So this is his teaching, I guess where he was wanting more and expect.

He has that, that Prismatic delivery, but he really was not truly having a god power like feeling.

And when you start feeling, you probably and let me get to know Phyllis because This this person is really doing what God wants him to do.

So if I can connect with Philip and all these people that are here for us to continue to build on because I heard you was talking to Believers and non-believers.

But what was he say?

Was he saying something that he can see there was a need to say that would bring that person to God.

Cuz whenever we Minister, isn't that what we're supposed to do, bring people to God, that's the start that that's our role as servant.
