Sermon Tone Analysis

TREE (PART II)

Tree in sin and tree in salvation

Tree is sustained by its source.

We must worship God and use things not the opposite

Soil wants the roots not the branches

Roots must get water out of the soil to produce.

Water is the word of God

Ps.1; Gal.5

FRUIT

Fruit is developed but gift is given.

Fruit reflects the nature of tree, gift doesn’t

Character is not received like forgiveness.

Character can’t be dealt with on encounter

It’s not wrong to pray for love, but we must remember how God will answer that prayer

Salvation is second birth.

Babies are born with ability to walk, talk, speak, read, and ride bicycle

All things pertain to life and godliness were given to us (2 Pet.1:3)

Fruit is like muscle.

We all were born with it but it grows as we use it

Fruits are sour before they are sweet

Babies know of sour walking, sour speaking, sour riding, sour driving, and sour writing

Every patience person was sour.

Every successful businessman was sour.

Every great marriage was sour

Not quitting and using the help of the father was the key that got us from sour to sweet

We moved from sour to sweet because of our fathers who didn’t allow us to quit

Apostle John had sour fruit of love before he became the love apostle

Apostle Peter had sour fruit of faithfulness before he became the faithful follower

It’s like camera.

You have it but it’s developed in darkness of the life

LEAVES

Leaves are green so is money

Money will buy a bed but not sleep; books but not brains; food but not appetite; finery but not beauty; a house but not a home; medicine but not health; luxuries but not culture; amusements but not happiness; religion but not salvation; a passport to everywhere but heaven.

Wealth doesn’t equal worth

God knows your need (Gen.2:18;

Matt.6:7, 32)

God provides for everyone (Adam, Cainan, grass, lilies of the field, birds, Matt.5:45).

God is not Christian

God did what Abraham confessed.

Abraham unlike Israel didn’t say that we don’t have a sacrifice

There is a ram (salvation, healing, breakthrough) prepared for you Abraham, it was waiting for you to get here

There is fourth man waiting for you in your furnace

There is manna, water, quails prepared for you in your wilderness

There is earthquake waiting for you to get to jail Paul

God has a fish prepared for you Jonah – even though you’re drowning in the sea of consequences

God will meet all of our needs according to His riches and glory (Phil.4:19)
