Intro

Get Out Synopsis

Now that Chris (Daniel Kaluuya) and his girlfriend, Rose (Allison Williams), have reached the meet-the-parents milestone of dating, she invites him for a weekend getaway upstate with Missy and Dean.

At first, Chris reads the family's overly accommodating behavior as nervous attempts to deal with their daughter's interracial relationship, but as the weekend progresses, a series of increasingly disturbing discoveries lead him to a truth that he never could have imagined.

In this era we have access to a plethora of sites and books offering insight on history.

We use that history and compare it to what is going on now and we tell people to stay “woke”.

In a time when people claim to be more woke than ever it is important that we focus on what really matters.

We don’t look at the roof as the cause of a sinking house, we must examine the foundation!

Some Folks Are Still Asleep

isaiah 64

There Are Some Who Still Are Sleep Today

People still value ministers and rhetoric over content (Gospel)

People still rely on emotion rather than conviction

People still cry out about an oppressive government instead of to God

People still do not understand their purpose on this earth

People still choose knowledge of man over God

Christians are still not progressing past introductory Gospel message

Be Woke

1 cor 2

to examine (analyze) v. — to consider in detail and subject to an analysis in order to discover essential features or meaning.

profundity (intellectual depth) ⇔ depths n. — knowledge that is recondite and abstruse (difficult to comprehend) and profound.

Paul tells them that the Spirit examines the DEEP things of God!

Man knows man, so would God (a Spirit) not know the things of God?

1 cor 2 12

The same spirit that hovered over the waters of the unformed earth is the same Spirit that the Corinthian Christians received through baptism!

Paul teaches them to speak the language in which the Holy Spirit teaches.

Man teaches through science and philosophy but the Holy Spirit compares spiritual things to spiritual things!

But every person cannot just get these things.

They must first take as a prerequisite, Baptism 101!

1 cor 2

Paul tells them that when you are spiritual you are able to judge/discern ALL things.

to come to know or recognize mentally 〈unable to discern his motives〉 verb intransitive: to see or understand the difference

The NIV does a better job at translating for our understanding.

Wake Up!

There are complaints that we stick to the elementary things of Gods word in Bible study or through sermons.

There are complaints that there is not any relevance in what is proclaimed through the pulpit.

But the same people who make these complaints are the ones who lack maturity.

You have something that searches the deep things of God! Use it!

Don’t you want something that can examine the DEEP things of God?

Christians, do not waste what you currently have!

We came to the body knowing how man operates because we were of the flesh.

Some of us have doctorates in the flesh, yet we still study!

We cry out to the news media and government about a corrupt system.

We read self help books to validate our lives

We choose alcohol and drugs to calm our spirits

We cuss out and physically abuse our spouses

We relentlessly beat our children with no prior standards

We complain about a lack of leadership and raise little boys with no sense of responsibility, work ethic, or spirituality

We complain about struggling in the real world yet do not pick up our word!

We have the Spirit of God!

That was given to us for free!

Jesus paid the cost!

How do we put it to practice?

1 cor 2

At some point we have to start connecting the dots.

That does not happen if we do not see the dots or even pick up a utensil to do so!

Study!

Look at verse 15 and 16

When we study we will have the ability to understand anything that this life and beyond can throw at us because we have the mind of Christ!
