Sermon Transcript Tone Analysis

Good morning.

Good to see all of you and all of you.

Still getting used to that anybody else.

Still kind of feel like you're getting away with something.

When you go into the grocery store without a mask on your next sermon in the series, that we've been going through, call the plan.

We're on episode 28.

So we've been doing this since September and our goal has been to tell the entire story of the Bible.

From beginning to end.

We started with Genesis in September and we're going to be doing the Resurrection on Easter and that puts us today in the ministry of Jesus.

But before we get into that, we're going to remind ourselves.

The story that the Bible tells the Bible is the story of God's plan, to establish a Place full of people who live out their purpose in his presents.

So God made the world.

Can you put human beings in it with a particular purpose, in mind to rule over the Earth on his behalf?

And then on the 7th day, he came down to live with them.

And that seventh day.

That is the goal of Gods.

But there's one weak Link in the design, which is US.

Weak and human beings kept messing it up.

And so the plan didn't work because of our failures until God started this project to restore his plan to the World, by choosing one particular family, call the family of Israel and he was going to give them, make them kind of dislike display model of the plant.

So he gave them a particular place to live in and then he gave them their purpose.

He wrote it out in 613, laws of exactly how we wanted them to live and then you came down to live with them in the temple.

So that in that one place the whole plan was functioning and the world could look at Israel and understand who God is and what he wants for his people.

But again, the weak link was the people the Israelites worth any better than the rest of us, at living out, this plan until they failed.

And they feel that they failed to the point where God decided the only way I can accurately show the world who I am.

And what I stand for is by Ending this Arrangement by Brett by declaring this Covenant broken to show that, I don't endorse what they've been doing.

So Israel was sent into Exile and that's kind of where we been stuck.

Some of these, the Jews got to come back to Jerusalem, but the they build a temple that God didn't come back to live in it and they haven't got.

Has it really restored them.

It's over four to five hundred years there waiting for God to restore them and tell John the Baptist comes out, and starts preaching that God is ready to move.

Again.

He says, the kingdom of God is near and then Jesus comes out and begins to say the same thing.

And last week, we talked about how this message.

This is Gospel, that Jesus was preaching, was the news that God is ready to move again.

He's ready to restore.

Restore Israel.

That's what the kingdom of God is near me.

Until it was time for the for the Jews to change.

Their path to come back to God and follow him.

That's what repent and believe me.

And so today, what we're going to do as we're drying out the different threads of Jesus's Ministry is.

We're going to start looking at the way Jesus, what Jesus did with those who responded to his message last week, focus on the message.

We have knowledge that some people followed him and some people didn't.

And today, we're going to talk about what happened when people chose to follow him.

Who actually are opening passage the same one as last week.

And as I read this, remember how we keep our bearings in a story in the Bible as how we've been doing it the whole time that you want to watch for four things.

Who is the story about Where is their home and what's their relationship to their home?

How can they meet with God?

And what does, what has God told him to do and those coordinates help you positioned the story and this overall story that God is telling in the Bible.

Go back to last week's opening passage where Jesus is in his hometown of Nazareth.

He goes to church one Sunday or Saturday.

Either the synagogue and they asked him to speak and a hand in the scroll of Isaiah unrolling.

The scroll Jesus found the place where it is written.

The spirit of the Lord is on me because he has anointed me to Proclaim good news to the poor.

He has sent me to Proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind to set the oppressed free to reclaim the year of the Lord's favor.

Then he rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendance at down the eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fastened on him.

He began by saying to them today.

This scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.

I told get our coordinates.

Who is this story about?

About Jesus and the Jews.

The Jews are God's people.

God is still committed to saving the world through the Jews that hasn't changed, but he's got to deal with the situation that the juice have gotten themselves into through their Disobedience.

And so Jesus has been sent to be the one who leads them out of that.

That the situation that there is a Jesus, is the leader of the juice is one that God has appointed for that.

There's lots of other people claim to be the leaders.

But Jesus is the one that God is called.

Where is there home?

The promised land has been carved up into Roman territories, called Galilee and Judea.

To the relationship that the Jews have to their home as they're not in control of it.

The Romans are the Romans are the ones who decided on those borders.

There's actually a Roman governor in charge of Judea.

There's a Jewish King in charge of Galilee by he's appointed by the Romans, so they don't have control over their own land.

Like they were supposed to according to the original Covenant.

How can they meet with God?

And here's what would have surprised the Jews.

The most of this time is they thought they could meet God at the temple, but that's presents never return to the temple, but we found a couple weeks ago is that God's presence did return but it returned in Jesus.

And so, if you want to meet God, during this time, there is a location where you can count on meeting God, but it's not the temple, it's Jesus.

Now the last question in the one, we're going to focus on mostly during the sermon is what did God tell Jesus to do?

Because today we're going to end up touching on one of the things that people argue about more in terms of what Jesus came to do, the passage that he read, he's giving him.

He's listening out his mission.

And what we saw there was a lot of individual interactions the the kinds of things that we often think of it.

We think of the ministry of Jesus of freeing prisoners, giving sight to the blind like having individual interactions with people and we often will think that that was the mission that Jesus had was to individually.

Call people probably because for a lot of people that's with the mission that Jesus has now to call individuals so that I can be saved by Jesus and I can have my relationship with Jesus individually.

I'm on one side.

That's what I say is that Jesus came to save individual people.

And, and that's the goal of his mission.

There are also some, who will say.

Jesus didn't come to found any kind of organization.

He just came.

Teach people to do better just came to teach them in a better way of living, but he didn't intend to leave behind himself a movement.

He didn't intend to found a church.

These are both variations of the same idea that Jesus came for individuals, not to establish a movement or or a church is a, we're going to look at what that actually means.

We're going to start by taking a closer.

Look at this passage.

The Jesus uses to announce his mission, because those the Park City quotes do tend to list individual interaction.

But if you go back and read the passage, that Jesus is quoting, you'll find that it's not about saving random individuals as you carry on and get two verse four.

It says they will rebuild the ancient ruins and restore the places long devastated.

They will renew the ruined cities that have been devastated for Generations.

Strangers will Shepard your flocks, foreigners will work your fields and Vineyards and you will be called Priests of the Lord.

You will be named Ministers of our God.
