Sermon Tone Analysis

Introduction:

Speech to Text

There's a popular notion at Christmas that is very pervasive in our society that you should get what you want, and if you get that thing you’ve wanted, then it will completely satisfy you.

We shouldn't be surprised at the commercials that are about Christmas gifts.

A couple from those that I've seen from regular big retailers, they show these children receive gifts and these small children are ecstatic about their gift.

And you look at what’s selling and it's something that cost $200 or $300 or even $500 for a 4 year old.

I heard a kid in Walmart once years ago say to his mom and dad, “I want it, I want it, I want it!”

One of the parents responded with, “You don’t even know what ‘it’ is!” I suspect that is exactly how a lot of people are: what they want exactly they don’t necessarily know or even don't care.

What it is comes after the question “How fast can I get it?”

“I just want it and have to have it—that’s all I know.”

But a lot of people think: “if I want it and I get it, then that's all I'm ever going to want!”

Even a quick glance at the rich and famous quickly reveals that their popularity and their wealth never really satisfies their deepest longings.

Ecclesiastes chapter 2 confirms this.

Ecclesiastes chapter 2 confirms this.

Here is a man who had it all where there was absolutely nothing on earth that was available at that time that he could not have.

We can not imagine the wealth of king Solomon or the power of king Solomon.

Ecclesiastes :1

Get Started

Here is a man who had it all where there was absolutely nothing on earth that was available at that time that he could not have.

We can not imagine the wealth of king Solomon the power.

Of king Solomon I notice in a crazy **** is too first one I said in my heart what did Jesus say about the heart everything that is that we are comes out of the heart.

I said in my heart come now I will test you with pleasure.

Enjoy yourself but they hold this was vanity I said of laughter it is man enough pleasure what use is it I searched with my heart how to cheer my body with wine my heart still guiding me with wisdom and how to lay hold on folly till I might see what was good for the children of men to do under heaven during the few days of their life I'm a great works I build houses and planted vineyards for myself I made myself gardens and parks and planted them all kinds of fruit trees I made myself pools from which to water the forests of growing trees I bought male and female slaves and had slaves who were born in my house I had also great possessions of herds and flocks more than any who had been before me in Jerusalem I also gathered for myself silver and gold and the treasure of kings and provinces I got singers both men and women and many concubines the delight of the sons of me and so I became great answer pass all who were before me in Jerusalem also my wisdom remained with me and what ever my eyes desired I did not keep from them I kept my heart from no pleasure for my heart found pleasure in all my toil and this was my reward for all my toiled then I considered all that my hands had done in the toil I expended in doing it and behold.

All.

Was vanity.

And a striving after wind in there was nothing to be gained under.

The sun this is the emptiness of a man who had it all and yet people think if I haven't.

Now some of you heard me say what my dad used to make a comment about Sir you know the people that I acquire certain levels of wealth and sometimes to the attitude is how much does it take to make you happy one more dollar.

Always one more.
