Sermon Transcript Tone Analysis

But please remain standing with me and honor of God's word or scripture reading this morning is going to be Romans 3:23 and then 6:20 to 23.

So you're going to have to listen for some of 6 2223 because I didn't get it in there.

It's part of the Romans road, if you haven't memorized it already.

Romans 3:23, I think you can all cook this.

For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.

And now 6 to 22234 when we were slaves of sin.

You were free to Regard in regard to righteousness.

What fruit did you have them in the things of which you are now ashamed?

For the end of those things, is death.

Become slaves of God, you have your fruit to Holiness and to the end, the end everlasting life.

For the wages of sin is death.

But the gift of God is eternal life in Christ.

Jesus, our lord Daryl.

You may be seated.

With my family and I leaving in just a few weeks.

I asked the board if I could have this past week to work on stuff in my office to get things organized and sorted for when we leave and made racial allowed me to do that.

And so this morning you get the privilege of hearing after Bill Fox against talking about how to lead a person to Christ.

And so this is as part of that message.

Thank you.

Thank you, Pastor.

It's a privilege to be before you can and I want to take the time to conclude the second half if you will have what we started a few weeks ago.

I'm pushing on the bottom one.

How come that's not working.

Okay.

So this is a good introduction.

The last time I spoke I didn't give you any hand out notes, and I didn't have any PowerPoint up in front and there was a reason for that.

I want you to think about what you would say.

Not about what I would say.

It's important as Christians, especially in this day and age that you have the ability to leave the soul for Christ and I want to talk about that as well as finished being a presentation.

It's important to know that in the scripture.

We are told some of the things regarding leading us all to Christ, but we have to have a means to get started.

And that we talked about current events and the fact that there's Ukraine to talk about, there's the crime statistics in New York City or in Chicago or in Los Angeles.

There's those that were shot recently.

In Sacramento.

There was even murdered recently in Clements, California of all places, but you know, there is such a disaster around us.

And you think about the situation in Buffalo, New York yesterday, there's all kinds of current events that eventually lead to the question.

Do you know, for sure that you have eternal life?

That requires some for thought on your part and I want to just tell her straight this with a word from scripture.

Centuries ago, Moses was had spent forty years in the desert herding sheep and God called him to lead his people out of Egypt the nation.

Israel.

Moses objected not that any of us have ever objected to what the Lord let us to do before but but Moses objected.

And one of the questions that go to ask him, was what is that in the nine hand?

You see God for knows what we're going to be called to do and he's a quickness.

Spiritually.

He's giving us a spiritual gift, but he's also seemed to us that we have experienced.

Certain things, Moses had spent 40 years hurting sheet.

Which is a lot like hurting people.

Buy sheep have a mind of their own just like you and I do.

But God said to Moses.

What is that a 9 hand?

And Moses said a rod a shepherd's crook.

Now.

I don't know what this crook was was like, but I am mansion that Moses have that for a number of years.

It was worn very smooth by the contact with his hand and he knew how to use it almost without even thinking.

That's the way we have to be.

When it comes to Leading the soul to Christ.

We should practice it.

We should practice it to ourselves.

We should practice it with another wife.

We should practice it with other fellow Believers because until you've used it as an effective tool and practiced.

It, you probably won't be very good at taking care of someone who has never heard the gospel before.

So that's an important part practice, practice, practice as you sit in your home think over.

What are the possible objection?

Is this?

What would a person say and try and picture?

What they would say and in the process, practice your response.

For instance.

The first question is, do you know for sure that you have eternal life?

Let me see if I can make this work this time.

Yes.

Okay, good.

Do, you know, for sure that you have it turn a life?

Not a person when he answers that question, may say, I think so.

I think the Lord is going to balance up the good against the bad and that hopefully the good will outweigh the bad and he'll accept me into heaven.

Doctor app.

I'll talk more about that in just a minute because that's a fairly common answer.

But the first thing you do having asked the question is basically just comment briefly on the answer.

Say, well, that's a good answer.

That's an answer that most people.

Give whatever you want to say, but go on having mind what you're going to say, not what their responses.

And then give your testimony, as I said, last time I spoke to you.

It should not include a lot of biblical scriptural terms.

For instance, when I was saved and baptized, that doesn't mean anything to the average unbeliever.

They don't know for sure, what saved, how they're supposed to interpret that.

Cuz as far as they're concerned, they're not lost, even though they are, they, that they don't identify with that.

So, don't use that.

Just say, the reason I am happy that I know for sure that I have eternal life is because Use that promise if you will and then give a brief testimony that tells why, you know, for sure that you have eternal life and its value to you, that's all you need to do.

And then ask the second question.

I don't I can't see what what I have here.

But you can and you have the notes in front of you.

So you keep track of that.

There isn't a lot of feeling at the store.

So you'll be home free, but let me pressure the right direction here.

I'm getting used to this.

And this work.

I may be.

Okay.

Testimony, this is where I am.

Don't use any new terms and then come to the second question.

When you come to the second question, it is.
