Sermon Transcript Tone Analysis

On.

There we go.

Good morning.

And thank you for leading Us in some thoughts.

Regarding the Lord's, Supper this morning.

I appreciate that very much.

Praise team.

Thank you for letting us in worship.

You always do a fantastic job.

Hope you're doing well, this morning for visitors, who are here.

Let's take a glance.

I'm, I've gotten where I think I've got about 90% of your names down feeling.

Pretty good about that.

Then somebody's going to come up to me later and say, what's my name?

I know you will.

I think we might have one or two visitors, but we want you to know that we were glad you're here and we pray that you'll stick around a little bit afterwards.

Give us a little time to shake your hand and get to know you just a little bit before you head out today.

We are coming to my favorite part of this whole series, which is on Outreach.

Now, you remember last Sunday.

We we kind of took a pause.

We had gotten into the Outreach portion of our series, decided to go back in, to stay a few more words regarding in reach.

And now, we're kind of piggybacking jumping back into the loop.

If you will, we're going to do a couple more weeks on the topic of Outreach is my favorite topic out of all of them because I love evangelism.

Love talking to other people about Jesus Christ.

Before we do though.

I want to make you all aware of something that is going to start.

In a couple of weeks.

I mention to you, I mention to you a couple weeks ago.

I think it was about these workshops.

We are going to start having some workshops here.

They're going to be very informal that basically, we're just going to get together and we're going to start practicing, putting into practice some of the ideas that we've talked about with upreach and inreach.

So, we're calling these discipleship workshops discipleship training times.

We don't have a set time yet.

Basically, I'm going to talk to you about what the first one's going to be about.

I may be doing this the wrong way, Roxanne will find out later, but I want to get an idea of how many people might be interested in being a part of it and then we will talk as a group as to which day or time.

I might be best now that I realize that might not work we might have to just pick a day.

Pick a time and go for it, but we'll try one way or the other.

But the first Workshop that we're going to do has to do with this idea of upreach.

And basically, I'm calling this first Workshop learning how to hear God's voice for your life.

Okay.

That's the name of the workshop.

Learning how to hear God's voice for your life.

Basically.

We're going to get together for an hour, maybe an hour and a half, probably no more than that.

Probably the weekend will pray.

You pick a time somewhere around.

One of the services of the church, maybe before Wednesday, after Wednesday before, probably not before.

But maybe after Sunday worship service, something like that, but Remember what we said was the most important thing about up, reach a long time ago.

We said the most important thing about upreach member the two greatest commandment love the Lord, your God, with all your heart and soul and strength, love others.

As you love yourself, the way that you first, learn how to love God, with all your heart and mind so much strength.

Is to come to understand the truth that he loves you, with all of his own heart is his love and strength.

So the very first Workshop that we're going to be doing, is doing some practices that help you learn how to be in the presence of God's love, how to be in God's present, how to listen for his voice, or some other things that we're going to cover it, how, to engage in personal quiet time.

Would I call 95 time?

So, we're going to be doing some practicing roll, be sitting in God's presence will be listening for his voice.

We're going to ask the question.

What is hearing God's voice sound like?

Cuz a lot of times, we've never ask these kinds of questions.

We're going to sit down with the Bible.

I'm going to show you how to hear God's voice.

Do the word or else.

I'm going to talk about how to hear God's Voice through the Holy Spirit.

We're going to talk about the importance of being grounded, in God's word and how to engage, in biblical meditation.

There's Eastern meditation, which you probably heard you'll see popularized in the movies, you know, all men are that kind of think there's Eastern meditation and there's also was called biblical meditation.

There is a way in which the ancient people meditated in God's word and we're going to do some of that as a as an exercise in this in this class journaling as a written record of your journey with god with your journey with God.

One of the things that we do in these workshops as we Journal.

We like to keep a record of what God's doing in our Lives.

Why is it important?

Because later on, you're going to be in circumstances where you're not going to feel God's presence in your life.

And you're going to need to remember, right?

You're going to need to remember the things that God has done, you're going to need to remember the promises that he's made.

So drilling is a really important part of the spiritual journey, the spiritual growth process.

And finally, we're going to talk about prayer as a two-way street often times.

I think, when we pray, we tend to just kind of give God our list of things that we hope that he'll do a list of people.

We hope you'll heal and then we'll move on one of the things I want to teach in this in this training is expect God's answer.

Expect God's answer.

And we're going to talk about ways in which we can look for God's activity to see the answers to our prayers.

So, this is what the, the the workshop is is going to be about, if this is something that interests you, if this is something that you would like to be a part of.

Again, this is just about practicality.

These are not classes.

Okay, so I don't expect to come in a room where I'm going to sit and talk for an hour.

It's not going to be like that.

We're going to break up into groups.

We're going to have exercises.

We're going to go to different parts of the church.

We may go outside later on down the road.

We're going to do other workshops when we get the Outreach.

It's what you get is my favorite one.

We're going to do Outreach.

Okay, we're going to do some things out in the community together.

There will be several of these first training Workshop.

So if you don't get to come to the first one, don't worry about it.

They'll be more.

It will cover some of the same material.

Some of them will not.

Some of you may want to come to all of the workshop training just so you can have more 95 5 times so you can have more practice.

You know, enjoy these things a bit more and have more experience with them.

So again, our first training Workshop is coming up in the next couple weeks.

If you want to be a part of it of this first one, here's what you can do right here.

Just send me a text.

That's the way I would love to be notified.
