Sermon Tone Analysis

*Canaanites*

* *

Chief problem: idols- anything that takes God’s rightful place

We can not tolerate even a degree of it.

It will be a snare to us & especially to our sons & daughters

Need to be careful of counterfeit (ex legalism instead of all the way back to the Cross)

 

The “Remnant” – my people: Lord, wash us clean.

Just as we were from the beginning known as a church that tolerated sin and compromised with the world which has led to embracing ungodliness~/ let us be known for the Beauty of Holiness as Your Holy Presence dwells in our midst.

Let us hold the line in a godly way that looks like You against these two areas in our nation.

Let the fire from your Altar fall on us and let the fire of evangelism burn in our bones.

Cause us to fulfill every good purpose and bring forth fruit 100 fold.

Let us leave no hilltop altar for future generations to stumble

 

Our People and Land: That people coming out of the service will exclaim, “What a Wonderful God!”

 

Each *group* has a wide range of people

#.

The APATHETIC- in mot making a decision it will be made for them.

Their eyes are shut.

Wake them up

#.

The WORLDLY- not wanting to pay the price and give up their friendship with the world.

Draw the line with no spin.

Let compromise not be an option

#.

The TOLERANT or DECEIVED – those that tolerate sin because of right reasons (mercy; unity), but they are out of bounds.

Wise & Anointed Pastors & Teachers

#.

The IGNORANT- they have never had any light.

Send Light.

Let them Seek out Light.

Send Wise & Anointed Pastors & Teachers

SHEEP WITHOUT A SHEPHERD- hear their cries & send them Shepherds after Your Own Heart
