Sermon Transcript Tone Analysis

Now, I feel preached long enough.

I'll get my breath back brother.

You done good, brother?

Well, we're happy that you're here this morning.

We're happy that anybody's here this morning.

So we're thankful for you to be here.

We're happy that we can get together and worship our creator together and spirit and truth.

And we're happy to have visitors with us, especially the whites or visiting from East Texas.

We won't hold that against them.

They are from

We've been talkin about the life of price for a number of weeks and we've been talking about the sermon on the mouth.

For several weeks.

And we got to the point where Jesus is teaching his disciples how to pray.

And I decided that I would go forth and bring a mini series on prayer before we go any further into the Life of Christ and I thought it appropriate at this time to do.

So since Jesus is putting an emphasis on prayer.

And of course, the Disciples of Jesus there.

They've heard Jesus pray.

And of course, they've been praying all their lives, but there was something about the prayer that Jesus was making the caught their attention.

And so they said, Lord, teach us to pray.

And so he does.

And before he starts teaching them about prayer.

He starts teaching them about, what not to pray like and what not to pray for.

And so, he quickly is establishing the point that his disciples need to unlearn, not Lauren, but I'm learn some things regarding their own prayer life, and even a grits over the years perhaps, and we too need to unlearn some things when it comes to prayer, especially that, which Jesus is now teaching before us.

And so there were a few things that they needed to correct, and that needed to be aware of.

Certainly they saw their leaders, the Jewish leaders, the Pharisees, the Sadducees, the scribes, the Sanhedrin, all the priests, when they pray, and of course, they have their fathers before then.

So, Jesus points out, the fact that there's some things that are just not proper to do one prime.

First one was not to be seen by men, which is what the Pharisees were guilty of doing and then vain repetitions or vain babblings using a certain word over and over and over.

As if God is going to hear that prayer.

And he says like the Heathen or like the Gentiles do.

Tony says, do not pray to satisfy your own Pleasures.

We read that in the Book of James not specifically here and on The Sermon, on the Mount, in Matthew 6.

But we're told to continue to pray without ceasing but not to pray for our own Pleasures.

Not that we receive things that can satisfy ourselves and one of the things I think that we're all guilty of and not that we're not supposed to pray for ourselves.

We are but that we put ourselves at the Forefront of the prayer.

Lord.

Help me help me.

Help me.

May I get this, may I get this, please?

Keep me safe.

Keep me safe.

Do this.

Do that.

And Jesus is pointing out.

That's not the way we are to begin our prayers.

And that I said that I was going to not put up the, Our Father prayer because I was hoping that everyone would have seven days to memorize that prayer, but I am going to put it up here for us and we'll say together, Our Father in heaven Hallowed, be your name.

Load just stop right there for a second load.

That's not a declaration.

That's not saying.

You're holy that's not what he's talking about.

This is a petition.

The English rendering of this is really not a good rendering.

The horse is in the subjunctive mood, which means the might or they may be moved and it has everything to do with how the one praying, or the ones were pray for what they might do.

That we might keep your name.

Holy that's the point.

Not that his name is Holy.

We know that they knew that but that we keep on his name.

Holy that's the idea of Hallowed Be Your Name, Your Kingdom come, but stop right there.

The kingdom has already.

This was prior to the kingdom coming, but this is the idea that we've been looking at in Matthew Chapter 5 chapter 6 and chapter 7, Jesus the same.

I'm going to establish my kingdom.

Got the very beginning.

He says repent for the kingdom of God is at him and then he goes on to explain in The Sermon, on the Mount chapter 5. Chapter 6 and chapter 7 about who is citizens are going to be like.

Now if you want to be a part of that Kingdom.

Jesus says, here's what I want you to be like and so for three chapters, he starts talking about the way that only those people needed to be, but the way we need to be a citizens in his kingdom.

He establish his kingdom.

He died for the kingdom.

He died for the church.

The Bible Church with his own blood as brother, Roy pointed out his communion thought, and as Paul wrote the book of Colossians 1:13, talking to Sammy says, and we have been conveyed into the kingdom of his dear son.

And so that kingdom is going to sell it.

That's the church, the very same one and which Jesus said, I will build my church.

And then he turns his Apostle saying and I will give each of you, the Keys of the Kingdom of Heaven is.

So while the kingdom has come, there is a sense in which we can pray for the kingdom to come.

That's what Jesus is really pointing out for us here.

He's pointing out that the kingdom doesn't necessarily represent heaven and it doesn't necessarily represent the church, but they do.

Or it does both those things.

But it represents rain in represents Authority and represents rule where there is a Jesus is King and therefore ask him for his rule is telling his disciples that they need to pray for rain.

Not not rain, but Reign rain to Reign Over us to rule our hearts and Minds.

That when we come to God In Prayer for asking him, to take every inch of the territory of our hearts to himself that he owns our house.

And this is the point that he's making he's talking about this.

God.

This father is worthy of this adoration.

He's worthy to be called upon to provide us his Rule, and his reign in our hearts.

So, our Father in heaven, Hallowed Be Your Name, Your Kingdom.

Come.

Let's continue.

Your will be done on Earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day, our daily bread and forgive us our debts.

As we forgive our debtors and do not lead us into temptation.

But Deliver Us from the evil one.

Now the King James they have for that is a kingdom, the power and the glory forever and ever.

Amen.

That's not in most manuscripts.

It's only in a few.

And and so that's a disputed part of the verse, so I haven't included that.

But I did last week and any event we're looking at Jesus was telling his disciples.

What they need to do prayer is not about petitioning God.

Not petitioning God to get my will done in heaven.

But it's are petitioning.

God to get his will be done on Earth.

It's not a bad as we begin this prayer as we approach.
