Sermon Transcript Tone Analysis

Zakaria but it is good to see you.

Glad that you're here.

So, good day.

We had some good rain this past week.

I know that was good for your Gardens and good-for-you yards and all like that.

So we are thankful for that.

And I do want you to be mindful of in the announcements there the the website go there and check it out.

What we put on there and also this email we have a phone number but since we don't have a secretary, we don't have anyone here at the church instead of putting the phone back there and somebody leaving messages.

I thought the best thing to do was will just make us to email and somebody wants to contact if they can do it through Facebook or they can do it through an email.

So so that's what we're going to do there.

And don't forget Wednesday nights.

That's Pat said Dynamic Church initiative.

We going to continue on this week with the assimilation of new folks that we may have coming to our church and I believe God will bless us with new folks and he's going to give us the energy to go out in this community and serve this community and hopefully bring those who are without Christ bring Christ in their life.

Amen.

And that's that's what we want.

And remember the 90 day, prayer challenge.

We're on day tomorrow, will be day 30.

So hopefully if you're praying this every day, the Lord is already changed your heart.

So I mean, you were thinking more about those people who are around you.

Those people you work with your neighbors, family members, co-workers, your hairdresser Barber, whatever it is.

Those people who were that Christ and we can start praying for them individually as well also.

Alright.

Well today, I'm going to preach a sermon.

And I believe that this sermon I probably say this a lot, but I believe the sermon that I'm going to preach today.

Maybe the most important that I've ever preached here.

At new Grace in my going on, I guess four years here.

I just believe that strongly in this message today.

Well,

We all know this past week in Uvalde, Texas.

Sienna and evil reared.

Its ugly head again and our nation.

And 19 and defenseless children and two teachers.

Were brutally killed at the hands of really what I call another child.

You're just another child 18 years old, another child.

And I think that this is happening far too often.

In our culture in our country.

And as we talked about on Wednesday night, several weeks ago, now we that the human race is indeed on the race to ruin.

We we are we are going downhill like a snowball and we are just Gathering steam as we're going now.

I'm not here today to talk about politics and I'm not going to stand up here and talk about who's right and who was wrong and what law we need and what the Sheriff's Office should have done or what the politicians should do.

I'm not going to stand here today and talk about that.

But I do want to say this before we get into our message.

Because the message that I have really comes from what happened in Uvalde, Texas.

And this is what I want to say.

As a nation.

We have created a culture.

That does not value life.

That does not honor God.

And that does not respect authority.

Now, that those three things there, I believe are just undeniable.

All you have to do is turn on the evening news.

And you will see that we do not value life.

We we live in a culture of death, we value death.

A woman's right to choose we value.

We value doctor-assisted suicide for those who are seniors and maybe sick.

We were rather for them to die than to take care of it.

So all these three things here are our true.

Now.

This is not something that just happened in the last 10 years.

This has been happening.

Probably, I would say for a hundred years or more more.

And what we're doing is we are reaping the consequences of the seeds that we have phone for more than 100 years is what we're doing.

And let me say this.

No gun law.

No metal detector.

And no security guard.

Will stop it.

It's not going to do it.

I understand you want to do the best you can do and it would be great.

If our schools had one door of Entry be great.

If there was a metal detector there be great, if there was a security guard and every single school in America.

That would be good.

That would probably help mitigate or make it harder for people to do what they want to do, but it's not going to stop it.

It will not stop it.

You see what we face is a spiritual problem and the way to stop a spiritual problem is through spiritual warfare.

That's what we have to do.

And we have to attack the root of the problem and not the fruit of the problem.

You see the fruit of an evil heart is shooting up a school.

The root of an evil heart.

Is a person who does not have a relationship with Jesus Christ.

I can guarantee you a person who was saved and who has a relationship with Christ and who is walking in the spirit.

I can guarantee you, they would not have done what this eighteen-year-old boy did.

I mean, that's just the truth.

It's just the truth.

Now, I see all that.

Because what I want to do today is I'm going to talk about a subject.

That those poor folks and Uvalde and really our entire nation.

What we're going through and that is suffering.

We are suffering as a nation today because of what happened, but there's families in Texas.

Who have so many questions unanswered?

And they are suffering this morning.

There's a time for people to be held to accountability, but right now, people just need to be held.

Those folks down there, just need to be held.

Suffering is the universal Human Experience.

You don't have to live long to understand suffering.

Every single person in this room has suffered at you.

You have suffered, you suffer.

Relationally, vocationally, you have grieved, the loss of someone, a spouse, a child, you had financial difficulty.

We have all physical difficulties.

We've all experienced suffering.

and so, when we suffer, And when we're lying in that bed with leukemia.
