Sermon Transcript Tone Analysis

We ask you Lord, to be our teacher.

We ask you Lord, to illuminate our hearts.

Illuminate, our minds to the truth of scripture.

And father by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Would you apply these truths to our heart?

Father, we love you.

We ask all these things in Christ name, amen.

There's no doubt that the most distinctive benefit that Christianity offers the entire world.

It's not.

That of a sacrificial love.

The most distinctive benefits are blessing that Christianity adds to this world or offers to this world is not a higher standard of morality.

It is not giving a world, a more sense of a more purposeful life.

And all of those virtues that I just mentioned, really are the byproducts of biblical Christianity.

If a person is saved, they are going to love sacrificially.

If a person is born again, they are going to live.

A high morality is a high standard of morality.

Okay, well see, this is them giving me directions on where to go on this.

In the sermon.

I probably set that thing off by saying something.

I've done that before.

the if you had those smartphones and if I say something that is, It just, I don't know.

But anyway, I got the power.

I guess you could say.

I tell you if you don't believe the Lord has a sense of humor humor than, you know, I feel sorry for you.

But all those virtues.

Are byproducts of biblical Christianity.

But they are far from Christianity's, gift to humanity, the greatest gift to humanity.

You see the Bible, the gospel offers one surpassing benefit that transcends, all others in a blessing.

It is a blessing that no other religion can offer and it corresponds directly to man's greatest need It's a beloved to listen, only Christianity provides a solution for Humanity's fundamental and far-reaching problem, namely, the reality that Sinners stand guilty before a holy God who has justly condemned them to eternal hell because of their rebellion and other lawlessness.

So understand me this morning that ultimately God does not send people to hell because of sin.

but because of Unforgiven sin, And so he'll is populated by people whose sins have never been forgiven.

Until the difference between those who look forward to eternal life in heaven and those who experience Everlasting punishment in hell is not a matter of personal goodness.

No, no, no.

Rather is bound up entirely in one word and that is the word forgiveness.

Blood listen.

Our greatest problem, as humans.

Is sin.

Seeing is our greatest problem.

It is our greatest enemy and it separates us from a holy God.

It renders us spiritually dead and if left Unforgiven results in Eternal death in a place called hell.

We know that seeing shadows relationships, it causes us to think foolishly it, leads us to make bad choices and moves us to act an evil and destructive weights.

so, the greatest question known to man is this, can I be forgiven Can I be forgiven?

And I can't answer that.

Question, based on the authority of scripture.

Yes, you can.

Hallelujah for that.

Can I be forgiven?

Yes, not buy because Wayland's says so, but because the Bible says, so who can forgive me?

The priests.

No good works.

No God can God can.

And the God who is revealed in the person of God's only begotten son, the Lord Jesus Christ.

This Jesus, that is mentioned so often here in the first two chapters alone, that tells us his deity and Mark 1:1, it's houses that Jesus is the son of God.

I'm going to chapter 2 and verse 10.

We read that Jesus is called the son of man.

And then it 1:24, he is the Holy One Of God who has come to take the sins.

Take away the sins of the world.

He is the only one who can deliver me from the penalty of sin providing for our justification.

He is the only one who can Deliver Us From The Power of seeing ensuring my sanctification.

He is the only one who can Deliver Us from the presence of sin promising.

My future glorification.

And so in light of who Jesus it and in light of what Jesus can do this, text of ours provides the different responses that were given by the multitude of those who entered into that house and saw the various things that they saw and heard the various things that they heard that day.

Noticed with me.

First of all, That for many, this was a time of excitement.

This was a time of excitement.

Baby learning, Mark.

Chapter 10 has began his public Ministry in the city of capernum.

Immediately, he began to preach about the kingdom of God.

And in that chapter, we saw clearly that Jesus also, demonstrated his great power by casting out demons and healing all kinds of diseases.

I didn't mark 1:32.

We learned that Jesus.

Must have healed nearly every sick person in that town.

But sadly, what happened was is that his miracles Eclipsed his message.

The people flock to Jesus, simply just to see what Jesus would do next.

And each miracle that Jesus did left them hungry to see more miracle.

And so to escape this frenzy Jesus and his disciples, they go off to Galilee to preach.

And now after they come back from Galilee and preaching their Jesus and his men, they returned back to capernium.

Verse one tells us in again he entered compare after some days.

And it was her that he was in the house more than likely, he's back into Peter's mother-in-law's house.

But as I said capernium, was the town that Jesus began his public Ministry capernium, served as he Northern headquarters for his ministry.

It was here that he put his great healing power on public display.

It was here that he preached with power, it is here and capernium, that Jesus made his very public claims to be the Christ.

The anointed one, the Messiah, but capernium had a major problem.

And that is that they valued the Miracles more than they valued the message.

They valued the Miracles more than they valued the Messiah himself.

They are certainly interested in Jesus.

But their interest is for the wrong reasons.

They're just there to see another miracle.

And we should not condemn them to such a point, because really, that's human nature, right?

It's Human Nature.

notice however, Jesus, instead of Miracles, Jesus preaches verse 2. immediately many gathering together so that there was no longer room to receive them not even near the door.

He preached the word that him.

he preached, the message, he preached the word, the logos, the word of God, So this involved Jesus Proclaim in the scriptures using the Old Testament.

This involved him continuing his message of repentance and believe the gospel.

When Rider said this more than any other expression in early Christianity, the word defines the essence of Jesus's Ministry.

The word defines the essence of Jesus ministry and listen, as benefactors of Jesus gracious Ministry.

We need to hear the preaching of his word.

We need this.

Blood listen, preaching was Central to the life and Ministry of the Lord Jesus Christ.

And the same should be true for our church.
