Sermon Transcript Tone Analysis

Thank you Kaden for that reading.

Appreciate it.

Might not know that the canes only 13 years old, 14 years old, 14 years old.

I'm sorry.

14 and a half.

I know that's, that's a big deal to Well, I'm glad that you're here.

Appreciate the presence of everyone here.

This morning.

We have been discussing the laugh of price for the past as well.

Since January, January 9th, and we're still talking about the life of price, and we're just entering the third year of his ministry.

So we enter into Matthew chapter 17, that the poor Matthew chapter 16, which we just read.

We find here that just after The Jesus had entered into the area, the region of Cesery of Phillipi.

He asked in important question of his disciples.

He said who do men say that I am.

Anda.

They responded by saying what some say your John the Baptist, some people say you're Elijah.

Some, say your Jeremiah some other say, You're just another prophet.

So Jesus turned to his disciples again.

He said.

But who do you say that I am?

Who do you say that?

I am? and as usual, Peter stood up, and he spoke on behalf of the Apostles and he said, You are the Christ, the son of the Living God.

And you remember what Jesus said, blessed?

Are you Simon bar-jonah for flesh?

And blood has not revealed this to you.

But my Father in heaven and therefore, he didn't learn it from any human being.

He didn't learn it from a book.

He learned it from Jesus, and Jesus was speaking for the father and he was representing the father.

And so Jesus says, you didn't learn it from any human being flesh and blood but you learned it from your father, through me.

And I also say to you are Peter and Upon This Rock.

I will build my church and the Gates of Hell shall not Prevail against it.

And I will give to you the Keys of the Kingdom of Heaven and whatever you bind on Earth, shall be bound in heaven and whatever you loose on Earth, shall be loosed in heaven, and I don't know if you're aware, but that last expression, binding, and loosing.

Is the idea that you simply speak where God speaks, you simply teach what God has taught, you don't go to the left.

You don't go to the right.

You don't go adding things.

You don't take away things you speak, as Peter says, in 1st Peter, 4:11 speak as the Oracles of God.

And the word there is cup of ice which simply means exactly is we are to speak.

Exactly as the word of God, no more.

No less.

That last statement that we just saw from the reading and we're going to bypass some of that.

We find here that Jesus after he said that to Peter and the rest of the Apostles about binding and loosing that he told him, not to tell anybody who you was.

It only coming 2 verse 21.

And it begins a transition time and we'll talk about that in just a minute.

But Jesus was telling the apostles that he had to go to Jerusalem that he had to suffer and that he had to die.

That didn't sit well with Peter Peter didn't like those words.

And so he says, heaven forbid, the kind of fast for me or goes back to you.

Romans chapter 6, shall we continue in sin that Grace May abound?

Well.

Happy forbidden Lord, you go to Jerusalem to.

There's a lot of other things that you can do.

You don't have to go to Jerusalem.

You don't have to do that.

In fact, I've got a better plan.

And Satan turn to Peter.

And you can see the words and read Get Behind Me.

Satan.

You are a scandal on to me, your Scandal to me.

This is a scandal for the Lord.

You are an offense to me the Y.

This is important.

I believe this is extremely important for you are not mindful of the things of God, but the things of men.

Until we learn here, that there are things that belong to men, and there are things that belong to God.

And the things that belong to God, we are to do.

We're to follow.

We are to be mindful of, but sometimes we forget the things of God and we begin to be mindful more terrible things men.

And Jesus is pointing this out to Peter at this very time.

God sees things, one way, man, sees things another way.

Can we come to the Book of Proverbs 14:12?

And the Bible tells us there's there is a way which seems right to men.

But in the end of that way, is death.

And so God has one way of looking at things mankind, has another way of looking at things and we like to presume to perceive things.

But you've heard of the expression, perception vs reality.

There is a reality.

And then there is my perception of that reality and often.

My perception of reality is skewed.

It's off-centered.

It's tilted, it's not right.

Because often I make the judgments the wrong judgments about people, perhaps the wrong judgments about certain situations, and certainly, I am Guilty, as all of us are of making wrong, judgments.

We perceive something, a perception, doesn't mean it's right.

Just because you perceive something doesn't mean it's right to be wrong and often it is because our judgments are based upon our heart.

The Bible tells us that the heart is deceitful Above All Things.

So tells us not to rely upon our own heart, our own understanding.

In fact, the Bible tells us that we are to lean, not upon our own understanding trust in the Lord, with all your heart, lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He Shall direct your path.

And the idea of the areas that we are to not lean upon what I think, The idea there is that I am not to lean upon my perceptions about my sink shows.

But I am to lean upon him because he knows and because he knows that has all the answers to life.

I follow his words and therefore I can't lean upon my own wisdom.

I've got to lean upon his in Jeremiah 10:23.

The Bible tells us that it's not in men to direct his own steps.

We can't direct our own past.

We like to think we can or not in control.

God is, is that we are to lean upon Him.

Lead upon his word when you leaned upon his word and you follow his word, you're leaning upon him and you're following.

You.

This is something that not only Peter had to know, but the rest of the Apostles had to know.

The Bible tells us also in Isaiah chapter 55, and verse 6 and 7 seek the Lord, while he may be found call upon him while he is near.

Let the wicked forsake his way and righteous man, his thoughts and let them return unto the Lord.

He will have mercy upon him and to our God for he will abundantly pardon.

Now, watch it.

He says, for because I just said, for my thoughts, are not your thoughts.

My thoughts are above your thoughts, just as the heavens are above the Earth.
