Sermon Tone Analysis

Intro:

I

I - My UPG experience.

Julie and Christmas trees.

We - I want to awaken the dream in you.

Maybe it has died.

Shattered.

Or the lie you have believed that WE can’t make a difference.

Jesus & We = the local church.

EMPOWERED by Jesus WE must be the church that the WORLD would miss if WE weren’t here.

As we follow Jesus He is leading us to make a difference in the world.

How Jesus made a difference.

What if we wrote down the difference BCC has made?

What if I wrote down the difference I’ve made?

Book, piece of paper, post it note?

What would we be known for?

Seven Advantages To Connecting to Jesus & We

1. JESUS & WE has the largest participation.

2.1 Billion people are followers of Christ

Ill - .

Let me put that in perspective.

If you were to take all the professional sporting events of every sport in America and you were to take every person who’s ever gone to a professional sporting event at any event in an entire year and you added it all up, it would be less than who go to church on one weekend.

More people go to church on one weekend than go to all professional sporting events of every kind in an entire year.

2. JESUS & WE has the widest distribution.

The church is more widely spread, more widely distributed than all Wal Marts, Starbucks, and McDonald’s, and Blimpy’s and Subways and every other franchise put together.

It is the biggest franchise, the biggest network in the world.

Ill: Lessons from Hurricane Harvey

3. JESUS & WE has the longest continuation.

Matthew

4. JESUS & WE has the fastest expansion.

It grows faster than anything else.

Faster than governments, faster that businesses.

You probably don’t know this but about 60,000 people come to Jesus Christ, every single day.

Every 24 hours at least 60,000 people step across the line.

Thousands of churches are started every single day in the world.

And it’s growing rapidly.

Ill - Cuba

The believers rapidly multipled

The churches grew daily in numbers

5. JESUS & WE has the highest motivation.

Why do we do what we do?

Not to make money.

Not to make a name for ourselves.

Not for nationalism.

We do it out of love.

We talked about this last week.

Jesus calls it the Great Commandment “Love God with all your heart and love your neighbor as yourself.”

Those two things – love God and love your neighbor – He said that’s it!
