Sermon Transcript Tone Analysis

If you enjoy watching movies, or if you enjoy watching film, or if even, if you're an editor, you will know that there are times when the editing process when you will need to cut out certain scenes from the film.

That's called the uncut version.

The uncut version is the time where you will go through and check if the lighting is okay, if the lighting isn't, okay, and that's saying you may throw it out, you'll check to see if the actors have done their best in that particular scene and if they haven't, you may cut that out because you want to make sure when the film goes to Market, you are giving the best product possible.

In fact, millions of dollars are spent in the editing process.

To make sure that when things go to the general public, they are perfect.

They are perfect.

And so they go through an uncut version and then there's the cop version.

And if I was downstairs, speaking to the Youth and Young adults, I'd ask you to turn to your neighbor and say which version did you bring to church?

Did you bring the cut version?

Or did you bring the uncut version?

Did you bring the version to church?

That tries to show out best then hide?

Maybe our weaknesses, or imperfections?

Or did we come recognizing that?

We serve a God?

That says blessed are the poor in spirit for they shall inherit.

The kingdom of God today was going to be talkin about the uncut version as it comes to the gospel.

So I'll invite you to turn your Bibles with me to Exodus chapter 20.

Exodus chapter 20 and as you turn your Bibles, they're obviously Exodus chapter 20 comes after Exodus chapter 19 and in Exodus chapter 19, we see the people of God that's there at the foothills of Mount Sinai and God has just shown up in a powerful way.

There was thunder and lightning and a sound of a trumpet and it was undeniable that God was there.

Other times in your life, when you knew that God was with you, that you knew that it could have only been God, that did what he did in your life.

And as they're on the foothills of those that mountain, God gives them Specific Instructions.

Firstly he gives them the Ten Commandments that's spoken at that time later on.

It would be placed on tablets and then off to the Commandments a give it given.

He says I want you to build me an Ulta.

An Ulta where the sacrifice would be laid in the, the blood of the Lamb will be pulled out.

You see, you can't have the Commandments without the blood.

Because some people want to serve God just with the Commandments but not with the blood but you need both.

Amen.

You need the altar of stone and the Altar and all the tablets of stone that represents the Commandments you need both storms to follow God.

And so he gives the instructions in.

Exodus chapter 20 and will be reading those 24 as we look at this idea of building an altar.

Firstly.

He says you shall make an altar of Earth.

There were 20.

Oz.

One was sometimes made out of Earth for me and you shall sacrifice on it.

You're blonde, offerings, annual peace, offerings your ship and your oxen, in every place.

What everyone in every place where I cause my name to be remembered, I will come to you and bless you.

You see God wanted them to realize that they wouldn't be able to stay at Mount Sinai forever.

They going to go through a desert.

But whenever they built, the Ulta whatever place, they built it, God would show up.

Are you glad that God will show up?

Not only at your mountains, but also, when your deserts that God will show up in every place and some of us and all of us actually have come from every single place and I'm just poking geographically.

Some of us have come from the place of the spare.

Some of us have come from the place of her.

Some of us have come from the place of rejection.

Some of us could have come from a place where we were betrayed, but God says, if you build up an ulcer in that place, I will show up.

I will come to you at that place.

I'm so glad we serve a God that can show up in every place not just at the mountains, but also in all deserts a man until God says, I'll show up in every place where you build an altar for me, but then he says in verse 25, But then God gives instructions as to what kind of Alta he wants.

Verse 25 says, if you make an altar out of stone, you shall not build it out of cut stones for if you will your tool on it.

You will profane it, you will profane it.

God gives important promise.

He says that when you make the Ulta, I want it on cuts.

And so I thought it was stration here of.

This may be the kind of rock that would have been there in the wilderness as it's coming up.

God will not only we said meet you in your mountains, but he'll also meet you in the desert.

And there is a Temptation that when God gives us instructions.

We want to improve it.

We want to improve our God says through this.

And we say we've got maybe a better idea.

So thank you for this.

Thank you.

These are out amazing, Sid l and an amazing wife.

All right.

So, God says, I want you to choose a rock.

That is uncut.

And this rock doesn't look like anything special does.

It looks very playing.

You seen many rocks like this before.

This is a common Rock, but God says, I want you to use a common Rock for an uncommon purpose.

And show out temptation is.

That when God gives us an answer to prayer.

It may not come in the form.

We hoped.

Have you ever prayed for something?

But you said, God, I want you to answer my prayer this way, and if you bring me this, I'm going to try to improve it.

Have you ever tried to improve our?

God has given?

Have you ever tried to say God?

This isn't good enough.

It's good, but I need a version 2.0.

and so, we Grab out tools and we begin to improve.

God, I I know that you asked for a type of whatever comes in my increased, but I just want to improve it a little bit.

God.

I I know I know that you have given instructions as in your Ten Commandments, but maybe 8, instead of 10 is enough.

I just want to improve it a little bit.

and God says, maybe what you're praying for and your expectations of your prayer.

Is so limited that I actually want to exceed your expectation, that what you think is coming, I can use for an unexpected purpose.

In fact, I have that on the screen, This Promise in this idea.

The same.

God, who met you.

I don't think that one's it.

Yes.

Yes.

It is the same God who met you on your mouth?

And thank you.

It team that met you on the mountain promises to reach you in your deserts.

He promises to reach you in your desert.

Is it possible?
