Sermon Tone Analysis

Go

You all have a good week!

How much fun did you have?

If you had fun if you had fun I wanna hear you scream!

That’s awesome!

My favorite thing this week was… Oh man it was awesome!

I wanna thank you all for having me this weekend!

I loved seeing all your faces and sharing God’s Word with you!

Thanks to those who did not fall asleep on me!

And thanks for those who did while you were asleep we totally pranked by calling you parents over speaker phone and totally got you grounded!

Hehe you know who you are! JK JK

So you all ready to go home (tomorrow)?

Get the rest of this Summer over?

Get back to school?

Man you all sound so excited… Hey listen did some of you learn something?

And no I’m not talking about how your youth pastors taught you to pull a bunch of pranks!

But have you learned something from the Bible studies and sermons this week?

you know when you weren’t asleep.

Yeah!

Listen how man friends do you all have at home?

I suppose you have some that you like to hang out with! How many of those friends do you think are saved?

Listen I would suspect that some of you have friends that aren’t saved meaning they are going to hell.

Listen to this passage with me...

Matt 28:16

Y’all repeat with me GO! Come on say it with me GO!

I want you all to imagine right now that friend you have in your head that you know isn’t saved.

Now I want you imagine that you and your friend is out just standing in the middle of the road (I know, I know it sounds bizarr but imagine your friend is really stupid okay it makes the story make a little more sense lol).

Now imagine there is the semi tractor trailer barreling towards your friend, he has no idea what is coming towards him.

Now you have more than enough time to tackle your friend out of the way.

What do you do?

Do you just stand there?

Or do you tackle him out of the way!

Some of you might be like I don’t he hasn’t given me back that XBox game I let him borrow 3 months ago and it’s kinda ticking me off… NO!

Of course you would taclk him out of the way, then you’d slap up side the head and say why you stupid you almost died!!!

Listen your friend is in worse danger than a tractor trailer carrying 70 tons of weight barreling towards him at 70 mph!

We are talking about his eternity and he could literally enter into it in a blink of an eye right now!

And not only your friend but this whole world!

You know I did a quick search on google about how many people die a day.

You know what I found?

55.3 million die each year, 151,600 die each day, 6,316 die each hour, every minute 105, and every second 2. One day that is going to be your friend, your mom, your dad, your brother, sister, the person across the the street, the person in line whom God told you tell Him about.

One day they are all going to breath their last breath and then enter into their eternal home.

And don’t think for a second that someone else is going to tell them about Christ!

If you feel a nudge in heart, that is called conviction.

When you were saved you were given the Holy Spirit to guide you throughout your life from now on!

That means God Himself is living inside you and is communicating to you on a Spiritual level to go tell others about His Son Jesus Christ!

Listen, I have heard numerous stories of christians feeling that convicting nudge on there heart and then choosing to ignore and the next day as the hours went by, the minutes hand moving its way, and the seconds just ticked on by… (snap, snap).

Something tragic happened and they went to there eternal home which is hell.

I suspect most Christians today are responsible for at least few or more for some people not getting one more chance to receive the Lord, to receive Heaven, to escape!

I would say this is a life or death matter but this a heaven and hell eternal matter.

Because it doesn’t matter, after this life you will be sent to your eternal home and there is no changing the out come after that!

I mean come on why are we afraid?

Jesus said this to His disciples...

Mt 10:16-

If the Holy Spirit is telling you to tell someone about Christ then He has prepared your heart for that hour to go and speak to them about Christ, and guess what it wont be you speaking but the the Holy Spirit speaking through you telling you what to say!

And not only that, He will also prepare the heart of the person your feel convicted to speak to (If any of you want to know the deeper theology behind my reasoning on that come here after my lesson and ask me about it)!

We don’t know the reason why God picks certain times for us to tell others about Him.

There could be many reasons but we do know our command and it is to go tell others about Christ!

My parents rents a house they own out, from time to time.

At one time my mom rented the house out to one of my cousins.

He had a roommate living there with him.

Now it was the end of the summer and I had stored some of my stuff over there before they had any renters.

I went over there with my cousin’s knowledge to get some of my stuff as I was going to leave for my last semester of college really soon.

I went over there and my cousin wasn’t home but his roommate was.

I instantly know this kid isn’t saved, he smelled like he had been smoking some sort of drug.

He just looked lost all over.

I get all my stuff out to the car and have a short conversation with my cousin’s roommate and right before I leave I this right here (point to your heart), it the Holy Spirit saying that he doesn’t know Jesus, he needs to know Jesus, tell him about Jesus!

For whatever I didn’t feel comfortable doing it that day.

I felt like he wouldn’t listen or that he thought I would be weird taking up his time.

I don’t know why the guy was nice.

There was literally no excuse not to tell him in this moment!

But you know what I did?

I ignored the Holy Spirit… (start snapping).

A few months went by and one I heard that he had gotten into a fight with someone and under the influence of drugs they both pulled out their guns and he was shot and killed… He went to his eternal home that!

Do you know where he went?

Hell!!

He went to hell!

I was probably the last person that God laid on the heart to tell him about His Son.

He was on the brink of heaven and hell that day!

If I would of just told him about Jesus maybe he wouldn’t be in hell today!

I hope that maybe the was a paramedic that told him about Jesus (I know some do that) or maybe before he drew his last breath he remembered hearing the gospel sometime as a kid and prayed to recieved Jesus because the terror of passing into the unknown got to him.

But chances are he was killed instantly before he ever had a chance to give Jesus a thought!

Chances are we all have eternal blood on our hands!

Listen to me people are on the brink of the heaven and hell!

Every year, every day, every hour, every minute, and every second!

It doesn’t have to be hard!

I have witnessed to several people in my life about Jesus some prayed to receive Jesus others didn’t.

But you know what?

I never regretted telling any about Jesus.

There were times where I was really nervous and stuttered a lot but God’s Word, the message about Jesus dying to save us always rang out!

Literally kids!

Listen, I have literally sounded really meek and stupid in front of a person while telling them about Jesus, but you know what was really weird they were listening like they were hearing something really profound!

A lot of those people who I felt like I was a mumbling fool in-front of got saved.

Because it doesn’t matter how smooth or articulate you are with words, if you are obedient to that voice inside of you God will get the message across clearly to that persons heart/soul.

They will hear the message about how Jesus save and then be presented with two options.

Come to Jesus and be saved or don’t come to Jesus and stay lost in your sin.

Jesus died to be the antidote!

We have the direction to tell this diseased sin ridden world about Him! What are you going to do?

Let it die and go to hell or let hear the message about Jesus?

Listen I’m not saying its the easiest thing in the world to doand that you wont suffer, because if you are obedient to God, the fact is, His word says you will suffer because of the world.

But what is more worth it?
