Sermon Transcript Tone Analysis

Shabbat shalom.

I'm Rob Wilson.

I'm the Elder is Elder teaching there of Years ago, Jesse, the bass player that plays with his sometimes.

He found out I was selected as a, as an elder.

But back then, the elders would be submitted to the congregation for approval.

So I wasn't yet an elder.

I was a potential Elder and Jesse greeted me as as his Elder.

And I said, well, I'm not actually an elder yet.

I'm I'm, I'm All maybe if the congregation that proves, then I'll be an elder.

But right now, I'm not an elder and he said, okay.

You're my younger elder brother.

But you're much older than me, so I didn't quite understand.

Where in Leviticus still in.

Leviticus is a beautiful book.

This year.

I'm amazed at how beautiful it is.

We're looking at it kind of with new eyes this year.

It's a real blessing.

So that's why I have the the lamb up there.

If you know anything about the sacrificial system, according to the, the what the Bible says, the first offering of every day was a lamb before.

Anything else was offered a lamb was offered and at the end of every day, a lamb was offered.

And so when you realize that this continual offering of a lamb morning and night everyday,

Occurred and the sacrificial system happened inside of that.

You realize that the lamb actually kind of symbolizes the whole sacrificial system and my own understanding the sacrificial system is it tries to mimic what Jesus accomplished for us?

So freedom from guilt, freedom.

From all these things are things that Jesus did for us.

So I remember the lamb whenever I begin, studying, Leviticus Enough on that.

First fruits in Passover.

So most of the time, if you're in a Christian Congregation of any kind during the season, you're realizing.

We're in length and we're getting ready for Passover Easter the celebration of Jesus resurrection.

And because we're kind of a break Roots congregation.

That's downplaying a little bit and I'm not sure it should be because Jesus has the whole thing.

I'm not I'm not into celebrating each star.

Which means hidden or star, or Pagan goddess, that's how our Easter has been renamed, but I am very much interested in celebrating the resurrection and in preparing for that and realizing, that Jesus had a pretty hard month this month.

So, I appreciate lent.

I appreciate all the symbols.

We just had Saint.

Patrick's Day.

I did not wear green, but it's not because I'm not into that Aya.

I'm Scotch.

Yeah.

And that's why.

Not true.

Yeah, well he was stated later.

Anyway, we're not going to get into st-patrick right now.

Yeah, the nevermind.

I've been thinking about Passover, and I've been thinking about lent, and I've been thinking about celebrating honoring the season, in the, in the church year.

And I realized something that I realize every year.

But this year, I realized it in a new way, first fruits, according to our understanding of firstfruits today occurs in Passover.

And so, I'm not sure that many of us think about that often.

So I thought I'd kind of emphasized that I wear in Cedar number 23.

It's actually.

Pathetic, is 23.

The number represents the The chapter and the L is for Leviticus.

So that's a shorthand way of saying, we're in Leviticus chapter 23 and Work according to the schedule of readings, which is in the back.

If you don't have a copy of this, you probably want to get one if you want to follow along with the sermon schedule.

Hey, if you're curious, how we came up with this as simulator Vibe, or a lot of people with it, if I said anything more.

The main thing before we even begin the sermon, I want to go through this prayer that has been a big prayer in my life and for some time now, long time now, so please print this with me.

Lord.

Please reveal yourself to us our children.

Our children's children, the body of Messiah and many others beyond the body of Messiah, and help us to receive you.

Help us to receive you.

And listen to your instruction and follow your spirits leading for our healing, and our health, and for the good of all your body and your kingdom.

Amen.

At a knight honors our attempts to follow him and bless us in more ways than we can ask or even imagine.

So this isn't just about hearing what God is saying, this is about listening to what God is saying and walking according to his leading and allowing him to instruct us for our healing, and our health, and the health of the body of Messiah.

Enough said on that.

God spirit makes us loving happy peaceful patient.

Kind good faithful.

Gentle and self-controlled got fruit.

Isaiah 66.

So I recently gave a sermon, probably 3 weeks ago, and I think the subtitle was eat fruit or die.

God wants us to have a good life.

He wants us to benefit from what's around us to celebrate life and to have fruit in every way imaginable.

In our lives, eat fruit.

He wants us to be blessed.

That's what the fruit kind of means.

As I get older.

I realize I really should eat fruit and been working on that or die.

Now, if you don't do what God wants you to do, the options aren't so good.

So that's the that's the other part of the previous sermon and this was one of the 4:30 is for that particular sermon, and I'm, I'm going to repeat it now just because we're on the first fruits.

Discussion I'll gather all nations.

This is the end of times, not the end of time, but you could say it's the beginning of time.

Renewed resurrected Eternal time.

I'll gather all nations and tongues to come to see my glory.

I'll see I'll send some of this these people to dig to declare my glory among all nations.

So he's not, it is not just going to gather the nation's.

He's going to send people out to the nation's so they can preach to the nation's.

Anyone who might not have heard them yet, is going to keep sending people out to to hear about his glory and the bringing many brothers.

Now, they're called brothers.

That's a big name in a break.

I understanding.

It's not just a believer.

It's not just someone who shares your faith.

It's a brother.

It's family.

It's a big deal from all the nations just as a not as an offering to the Lord just as the Israelites bring their grain offerings.

To the Lord, I'll receive some of the priests.

Some of them, these people that are being brought in from all the nations.

I'll receive some of them as Levites and Priests.
