Sermon Transcript Tone Analysis

It is so good to be back at Redemption City.

We were here for seven years as a family,

So we moved from Peru to the US in 2013.

I think we found a city in like March of 2014 and we're here until last year so it was yeah it is just awesome me back.

It's amazing to see.

So many new faces people that I don't know if you have to scrape and to be with you all it's really talk about something that I am passionate about.

This is my first time preaching an iPad.

I feel so strange.

I'm used to paper so hopefully this is work.

I think I got everything set up, all right.

They can so many people being here, despite the the weather.

Thank you for the opportunity to think about Global Ministries.

Thank you for the worship.

Singing songs to you.

Praising your name praising, the work that you have done in the world.

Thank you for all the ways that you Bless us Lord.

I pray that it's we hear your word that you would speak.

They'll be clear that you are speaking, Lord, that you would speak to our hearts and that you would help us to see what it is that you have for this morning.

Fasten your name.

In the beginning, God created the Heaven and the Earth.

MK3.

He said, let the Earth rotate, vegetation plants, yielding seed and fruit trees bearing fruit in which is their seed each according to its kind on the earth, and it was so 95.

Said, let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let the birds fly above the Earth across the expanse of the heavens.

And God bless them saying be fruitful and multiply fill the Earth.

Fill the waters in the Seas.

Let the birds multiply in the air.

Then they six.

God said, let us make man in our image, after our likeness and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the Earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.

So God created, man in his own image.

And the image of God, he created a male and female created them.

God bless them and said to them be fruitful and multiply and fill the Earth and subdue.

It have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens.

And over every living thing that moves on the Earth.

The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden, to work it, and keep it.

The picture that we get in Genesis 1 and 2 is a picture of a world full of Life by God, speaks and things happen.

Light appears in the midst of Darkness, water is gathered together and all the sudden dry land.

Appears the Earth, begins to sprout all the types of vegetation sun, moon and stars, jump into place.

The oceans and the skies are filled with Fish And with birds and then God, blesses those living creature and says be fruitful and multiply fill the Earth.

The land begins to sprout forth to bring forth animals.

Creeping things and Beats.

And that makes you mad.

Cuz I'm making humans in my own image and he says be fruitful and multiply fill the Earth.

Drop the story.

I'm in town again.

God emphasizes the reproductive abilities of everything that he creates.

Write the plants have seeds.

They have fruit that have seeds in it and it's repeated twice.

The fish, the birds and the animals are made according to their kind.

Humans are made male and female the two essential parties in any reproductive action.

So then this is implication is clarified with explicit command time and time again to fill the skies seas and the whole Earth.

from the very beginning from creation, God's Vision has been global.

Is always been Global, it includes all humans and all of creation.

All humans and all creation living in Harmony and doing what we were created to do.

The humans do have a unique role within creation, right?

We know this.

We're images that represent God, we were made to rule, like God in this world over the created order.

What number is represents God by ruling like God rules.

So, we look at Adam and Eve, they were planted in a garden.

Got to tend and care for this garden with love.

Tell them to name the animals to eat, to enjoy life, to make culture, to make art, to bring things to their fullest potential to commune with God.

He told them to have children.

And to teach them to do the same thing.

I got makes this beautiful world and sets it on a trajectory.

This is beautiful world and since I want you to feel it, Be fruitful and multiply and fill the Earth.

That's we all know.

It does not look so good now.

That's not how things are today, Adam and Eve.

As we know the story goes, they were Bell and they, they they said sin into action and the sin goes on to corrupt and infiltrate everything.

And we all know what sin is because it's so familiar to us because it's at home in our hearts.

And all around the world.

It's so evident.

The next chapter in Genesis, the first murder happens, chapter 4, I was close to the beginning and it's not just any murder.

It's a fratricide, it's a brother killing his brother.

It is, if we were to continue on reading the next several chapters, we see that same continues to grow and get worse and to become more corrupt and an end to be more violent.

Krups everything.

At some point, God says, I got to wipe the Slate clean.

We have to start again and he sent the flood.

What is a flag God's Vision Remains the Same After the flood?

Noah and his family, all the animals that were in the ark come out of the Ark and God says to them.

Be fruitful.

Multiply fill the Earth.

Got this hasn't changed.

Ascend has intended either with the flood.

Right rather than spreading out and stealing the Earth.

What are the humans do?

On Genesis 11, they come together and this is what they say.

They said, come let us build ourselves a city in a tower with its top of the heavens and let us make a name for ourselves last.

We be dispersed over the face of the Earth, the very thing that God commanded them to do time and time again.

They're afraid of doing rather than spreading out and going to the rest of the world.

Ruling is got a told him to do with with love and care.

It is a very opposite.

They say, we can't go out.

We have to huddle together.

We want to keep God for ourselves in our city.

Do do God's Vision has always been global?

Introduces a new complexity.

Genesis Cosmic enemy to God's Vision that has to be defeated.

Is it is a power that a time?
