Sermon Tone Analysis

Introduction

Lord over the Ball

I can manipulate it

I can throw it and have it come back to me

I can squeeze it

I can give it to someone else

This ball I am Lord over, same thing with all the objects that I have

Can I be Lord over something with a mind though?

Give example of a dog

Then give an example of a Lion

It would be harder to tame a wild lion

Give example of a Baby

Baby is dependent and needy but sooner or later it will be able to start take of itself and has to make his/her own choices

There was a guy who was choosing not to follow Jesus because he didn't believe.

Jesus was His master but the thing is God allows us to not treat him as our Lord.

But there is good news because this man though he did not want a relationship with Jesus, Jesus changed him which caused him to want to follow Jesus.

Lord over Saul

Give the context of Saul

Read Acts 9:1

Give the context of Saul

Zealous Jew

Did not believe in Jesus

Persecuted the Church

Jesus shows his Lordship to Saul

Acts 9:3-

Lord of Ananias

Acts 9:10-

Jesus was Lord over both of these men

Jesus was Lord over Saul for he told him what was going to happen and he made him blind.

Jesus was Lord over Ananias for even though he didnt want to go to Saul Jesus told him look, im going to use him for my purposes and for my work.

Note Ananias calls him Brother Saul

He was Baptized

Filled with Holy Spirit

Jesus is Lord Period!

What happened to Saul and Ananias happens to everyone who believes in Jesus

We are like Saul because we were once moving away from Jesus because we didnt want him as Lord

But then Jesus interrupts our lives and then we believe

But then we are like Ananias because Jesus calls us to do the hardest thing- that is go to everyone we know, our friends, neighbors, our enemies to give them the gospel and to live life with them so that they can believe in Jesus as well.

Call all leader’s to stand up
