Sermon Tone Analysis

I still remember the day.

We were, I was in the kitchen with my mom and my little sister, Ginger came running into the kitchen crying and I remember feeling a sense of relief, because I knew that this time she was crying.

It wasn't my fault or or so I thought and until she was crying, my mom knows stoop down.

And and says, what's wrong?

Why are you crying?

Is she she shared how in Sunday school that morning?

She had learned that that's in brings death and those who sin entered into death and and my mom pressed further, why is this causing you so much trouble angry in and through the subs?

I still distinctly.

Remember her saying because Jared has send and he's going to die.

Honestly, I was speechless and I didn't know how to respond to that and it was a true statement.

But

Feeling to realize your home soon.

This morning as we approach the topic of sin.

I want us to be willing and able to look at our own sin.

And as we as we engage in this topic, I appreciate.

And the first Romans chapter 3 verse 23 and you all are probably memorized, this passage, you know, it.

Well, it says, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.

That includes me lose my little sister, that includes you.

All have sinned.

And when you think of of this passage and and and it's amazing that it uses to tubo Cavallari Words, Their send an Impulse short and in the idea and the concept of sin is a an act, contrary to the will and law of God.

To the will and love God.

But but Falling short is is a failure in some measure to a team from 2 to a level of expectation.

And it's always we as we look at at this sin and all of us and stand in all of us, have fallen short, don't meet that expectation.

Are you Define sin?

And in many different, the Illusions will will, will try to describe it.

You probably heard that, it's an Archer's term, I have really thought about bringing my bow, and arrow up here in, in shooting an arrow into the target problem.

His last time, I did that.

It went through the target into the chair.

That was holding it.

So I thought maybe not this morning.

But it's an Archer term sin is is falling short of that Perfection that perfect bullseye.

Hey Donald expectation of the Glorious righteous.

Holy God that we we serve is perfection.

Because he is perfect and that's in is that falling shorter or missing?

The mark they have the other idea of taking the wrong path or Road a deviation off of the course of a Perfection and all of us can look at our life and it regardless of how good of a person you are.

All of us.

Have fallen short.

A Perfection.

And when we, we fall short, we we have to realize that It's then I appreciate so much what what the new Bible dictionary had to say in his definition of sand and there were to do so.

Well I felt I I really needed to just share it with you.

Listen to what they said, the definition of sin however is not to be derive simply from the terms used in scripture to denote in such as falling short and so forth.

It says it goes on the most characteristic feature of sin in all its aspects.

Is that it is directed against God.

Sin is directed against God, which of these verses Psalm 51 for look what it says.

Maybe we'll jump there.

Some 54514 against you.

You only, this is David against you.

You only, I have sinned and done what is evil in your side.

So they say, you are Justified when you speak and blameless when you judge, look at this next verse Racine Romans 8:7.

Because the mind, Meredith, because the Mind Set On the flesh is hostile for got hostile.

That's our sin hostile toward God, for his does not suggest itself to the law of God, for his, not even able to do.

So they go on to finish describing an any conception of sin which does not have in the Forefront.

The contradiction with your offers to God is a deviation from the biblical representation, the common notion that sin is selfishness betrays, a false assessment of its nature.

And gravity essentially sin is directed against God.

And this person perspective, alone accounts for the diversity of its form and activities.

It closes with this.

It is a violation of that with God's glory.

The main and is therefore in its Essence, the contradiction of God, Send. it contradicts the very essence and being in character of this God that we serve And as we approach, think you and I cannot expect to have a right view of God. if we do not have a right view of our sin,

I know this is a heavy, heavy topic is and in truth be told As I've prepared for this, I in in the preparation has have even grow more aware of my own sinfulness.

In Greater aware of my need for him.

I appreciate it.

As we consider send this morning, I want us to go first to the the Book of James I know where in Genesis, but I want us to have the context of James chapter 1 and what James is expressing to his readers.

In this topic of sin and Temptation, we're going to be in Genesis chapter 3, but have this pain sector this framework.

As we look at Genesis today in chapter 1 verse 13.

It says let no one say when he is, tempted, I am being tempted by God.

For God cannot be tempted by evil and he himself does not tempt.

Anyone, keep that in mind.

He himself does not tempt anyone.

But each one is tempted when he was carried away and then Changed by his own.

We can't even blame it on Satan or the demons.

Read that again.

But each one is tempted, when he is carried away and enticed by his arm rust.

Then when lust has conceived, it gives birth to sin.

And when seeing is accomplished, it brings forth death, do not be deceived.

My beloved brother, every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above coming down from the Father of Lights with whom.

There is no variation or shifting shot.

I love what James says they're about Sin and Temptation and keep that in mind as we as we jump back to Genesis in our study of Genesis as as we go through Genesis let's remember that.

There is a garden setting.

And, and we, we looked at that Garden setting just briefly last week or no, not last week, 2 weeks ago, we would looked at that Garden setting, and God placing the man in the woman in there and in the creation of man and woman.

It was a beautiful plan but I want to remind you as they are placed into this Garden.

Looking for chapter 2, verse 15 with me briefly, it says, then the Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden, to cultivate it, and keep it.

To cultivate it and keep it.

As.

as you and I consider this setting of The Garden and

And what God?

Did four men there.

Think about this, when God created everything he said, it is good, it is very good.

Why?

Because it was Why was it perfect?

Because God is perfect.

It was a demonstration of himself.

Any places man there now want to dry your attention that man was placed.

It was Adam who was placed in the garden to cultivate it and keep it said that cultivation is farming.

Its work and we have some in here who have engaged and cultivating in in farming in and I love that we see work.

Prior to the fall.

God establish work, a task, a purpose for men.

Prior to the fall work is not a part of sin hard work is and we'll find that out more next week.
