Sermon Transcript Tone Analysis

Well, good morning, everybody.

Can you hear me now?

Can you hear me now?

I heard that on the commercial ones.

Can you hear me?

Now? Hey, we've been talking for the last several weeks about how to filter are followership and dab.

Look at this next slide here because I worked really hard on this alliteration.

How many are impressed by that?

How many like alliteration?

We are focusing on filtering are falling.

What does that mean?

If you look at this next slide, it's really the idea of we want to filter our lives, through the big ideas of the Bible.

We want to make sure that what comes out on the other side is people who are radically transformed by the power of Jesus Christ and filter alive through the Ten Commandments, which we've been talking about here this month.

And next month.

We went to filter alive through the Beatitudes, which we talked about during the fall.

We want to filter our lives through the love chapter 1st Corinthians 13, which were going to talk about here in a few months, in Galatians.

5, 22 and 23.

That is how we are transformed by the word.

I've got Spirit and the word of God working together on our lives.

Can you say a big?

Amen to that.

And we have got to be so, so devoted.

And so clear on the fact that it's God's mission, that we become more like, Jesus Christ.

And we don't just float through life.

Nobody floats into maturity.

Nobody stumbles into being just like, Jesus, it take proactive devotion and commitment where we say literally every day.

Lord Jesus Christ of God work in my life by your spirit transform me help me can form into your image.

Make me more like you.

So I live like you love like you and Lead like you and I believe that with all of my heart today.

We're going to look at the toward the end of the message at commandment number three.

As we filter our life through the Ten Commandments.

We're going to do it through a commitment number 3, which is all about, not misusing the name of the Lord, Our God in vain.

You do all of this comes down to being very very clear about about our Biblical worldview.

And you know, I had a guy come up to me last week after the sermon say you don't thank you for making me think and that's that's really what I wanted to challenge us.

All to do is to think deeply and think thoroughly about what we believe and why we believe it.

I don't want to only tell us what to think that's part of it, but I want to try to challenges on how to think, how do I think it to me?

It all comes down to living in the center of these three circles and I've been talking about it and I like to just kind of review and let's go ahead and look at those circles.

If we have them there for us, you know, to me the center of the three circles is all about living loving and leading but the big circle in the left is biblical morality.

That's the Ten Commandments.

That's the AP attitude, what we talked about in the fall we're talking about right now, but that's not all.

We don't just use our morality legalistically as a billy club to beat on.

That don't believe like we do know there's something called biblical purposes.

And that's the great commandment love God's love your neighbor and the Great Commission go into all the world and make disciples you and I are here on purpose for a purpose and that is to reach people for Jesus.

That's why we're here.

You thought you were here for some other reason know.

We're here to advance God's kingdom.

Can I hear a big amen to that?

And so biblical purpose, so important, but we need to do it with Biblical virtues.

What that means is we need to be all about loving other people.

We got to figure out how to do that.

Well, how do we live?

Like, Jesus.

Love Like Jesus and Lead, like Jesus 1st Corinthians 13 through the spirit.

So many passages talk about about loving it.

So we want to live in the center of these three circles.

Being grounded in God's word is absolutely vital.

I mean, if we are going to weather the storms of life with the waves and the Winds of Life beating hard on as we have, got to have a runner called a Biblical worldview.

If you don't like this one, come up with your own.

That's that's anchored deep in scripture.

But I love this one here for myself and I wish it upon you in a certain way.

The direction of our entire church.

We need to have a Biblical worldview that serves as a writer.

So we don't just make up stuff on the fly in a wheel in a day and age, where people are kind of making up all sorts of things people come up with their own purposes.

Our own values friends.

There's one gospel.

There's one Kingdom.

There's one Jesus.

There's one Lord, that's it.

And that's all we don't make it.

Well, I have this value over here.

I want him fighting for this, cause over there.

No, it doesn't work.

That way.

We anchored cheap and God's word and God been.

But his holy spirit moves us forward from that basis, you know, I was thinking the other day, you know, was a pasture.

There are three groups of people that, that I addressed all the time there people that listen, but don't really hear, I mean, their present, but, you know, they don't fight here.

What's going on?

There's stuff going on, but they're not quite hearing it.

Secondly, there's people who here, but don't really care to employ it, or apply it.

And then, the third Group, which is everybody at, BCA are people that here, listen here, and care so much that they want to put it in the practice.

Give your fellow brothers, sisters, a big hand, for being a group 3, everybody's in group.

PCA, or at least we want to be, don't lie.

We want to listen.

We want to hear what God is saying, and we want to go full bore and putting it into practice because they're really passionate about that.

So, developing a Biblical worldview periodically.

I like to As I read the New Testament, read some writings from the early church, like some of the tree ancient Creed's like the Apostles Creed or the Nicene Creed, or from the early church, fathers a little bit.

You know, those first, first Christians that were just in in the middle in the throes of persecution.

They were trying to figure it all out and they didn't have the written scriptures like we do and they were trying to protect God's truth by boxing out heresies.

Aryan, aryan is Amanda gnosticism where two big heresies at the early church spot and I'd love to just kind of capture the essence of the early church and how devoted they Works to the pure gospel and the truth of God's word.

We need to understand that.

Back in that day.

There was lots of scripture twisting.

People came up all sorts of ideas and heresies and is also that way today.

People are taking a sliver of scripture and then running with it all over the place.

You need to ask yourself.

We all need to ask ourselves.

What is God say, what does it mean?

And how can I apply it?

Purely in with a devoted devoted heart?

The end of the day, we want to live love, and Lead, like Jesus, like never-never for Rick.
