Sermon Tone Analysis

In our *effort* to *proclaim* the *Whole Gospel* of Jesus Christ, we have *not done* a very *good job* in *1 area*.

*What* do I *mean* *by* the *whole Gospel*?

    *I.*

In order *to answer* that we have to turn to */LUKE 4:16-22/*

            *A.*

What I want you to *notice* here is that *Jesus did not simply make the statement*, “*/This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears/*.”

*1.*

The *1st* *part* of (*/V 21/*) says, “*/He began to say unto them/*.”

*a.*

*/That's another way to say/*, “*/He began His message by saying, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ear/*.”

*b.*

This *wasn't* the *only thing* that He *said*, this was *only the beginning*.

*i.*

*Luke felt* that the *message* was *not necessary* to write.

*ii.*

Basically *Luke* just *gave* a *summary* of the message.

*2.* (*/V 22/*) is *further proof* that Jesus must have *preached* a *message*.

(READ IT */V 22/*)

            *B.*

*In light of these Vs* (*/LUKE 4:16-22/*) *Jesus probable preached* that *He was anointed to preach*.

*1.* *To the captives*, *He preached deliverance*.

*2.*

To the* brokenhearted, *He preached* healing*.

*3.*

To the *blind*, He preached *recovery of sight*.

*C.*

In these Vs that we read *Jesus outlined* that the *Gospel covers many areas*.

*D.*

*We* have *preached healing*, *recovering of sight*, *deliverance*, and *new birth to the poor*; but we have *not even scratched the surface* in *preaching* the *Gospel to the poor*.

*II.*

*What is the Gospel to the poor*?

*A.*

*That Jesus has come and they don't have to be poor anymore*.

*1.* *Not very many poverty-stricken people* have *heard* the *whole Gospel*.

*2.* *People* have *said* that *prosperity* is an *American Gospel*.

*a.* *You can preach* the message of *prosperity* to all the *3rd world countries*.

*i.*

The *Gospel is true* to all, and not just to 1 or 2 groups.

*b.*

*There is a reason why* these *3rd world countries* are *not prospering*.

*i.*

The *Gospel* has *not* been *preached* *there* to *any great measure*.

*ii.*

*Where the light of God's Word is missing*, the *Devil has a legal right to be there*.

*iii.*

If you remember in (*/MATT 12/*) (Lets just turn there) */MATT 12:43-45/*

                                    *iv.*

It's the *same thing* with the *spirit of poverty*, *If we bind* that *spirit of poverty* over a country, *but* the *Gospel* is *not preached* there the *evil spirit* will *come back* with *more evil spirits*, & the *last state* of the man will be *worse*.

The *Word* of God *works* *where ever it's preached*.

*B.*
