Sermon Transcript Tone Analysis

So I grew up in the Midwest and it was round the St. Louis area I was saved when I was 11 in a little town, you might have heard of it Cape Girardeau Missouri, right off the river.

And I went to a fairly decent sized church, but it's Pastor really brought it that day and it just touched my heart so much to move me that point on to change my life forever.

So I went forward at 11 ask Christ into my life and will shortly be baptized there after so, but got tied to use me and shake me a few times.

In high school, he brought a great student, Pastor to me, and you wonder where I get my student Pastor leaning while they're the student.

Pastor invested a lot of time in me.

And that's where I Able to learn a lot about the ministry and that's by the time I was out and getting to be in my senior year of high school, I decided to devote my life to Ministry.

I actually made a decision to disobey God, I'm I'm going to serve you, but I did have to get shaken another time while I was in college.

I graduated from Southwest Baptist University.

I thought of, you know, where that's at.

And he Bolivar Missouri, little town, but some great folks there, but I didn't start off in Ministry.

So that's the little bit of shaking part that I had to get done to my life and the god wakes you up really quick and certain situations and he did that.

So I graduated with a youth ministry degree and also a minor in church Recreation that's really useful today, right?

So but I did do that.

I graduated and I also picked up a wife there and everybody knows.

My, my wife Tabitha and I have two lovely.

Kids, one is about to go back to school this next weekend, and the other one is, figuring out what she wants to do in the music industry in Branson Missouri.

So, a lot to be said there, but this is our one year anniversary.

And Idaho, it was this month that we moved up here last year, and I know things move quick.

So I did want to actually offer my testimony because I know several of you haven't heard that.

So but enough on my history, let's jump into the word.

You should know.

Before we do that, that I'm a big proponent of application.

I'm also a big proponent of examples and illustrations in my youth know this, that I like to bring things in, I am personally official.

Turner myself always have been and you know, I look at it from the standpoint Jesus use Parables you know to explain to the people some of the biblical principles that we we know and we love today.

So that's what this illustration is going to be in.

We'll get into that in just a minute but I assure you that it does apply to what we're going to be talking about in the word today.

So we're going to be in 1st Samuel chapter 15.

But before we do that, let's go to the Lord in prayer and then we'll get started.

Father, we just thank you for this time.

Lord that we have to share in your word to the other Lord.

I just thank you for each and every person in life represented in this congregation today, Lord, I pray that you speak through my words today.

Lord, let it not be me but you that's giving this a message today, Lord, and just allow my What's the touch?

The hearts and minds of people, Lord, and Logan.

Just, thank you that you watch over us.

We thank you for your salvation.

We thank you can take a person, a dirty person like me and just use them for your glory.

And Lord, we just can't thank you enough for all the talents and things that we see gifted people with that, they're using throughout the Lord.

And we just pray that we continue to do that and continue to search what you would have for us as a church and Lord in the days ahead be with us than our decision.

And you are just allow the pastor and Pastor Jared and his family.

Lord to find the right place that you want them to be more and we'll be just give you all the praise and glory in Jesus name.

Amen.

Is that really what he said?

Now that some of you might be wondering what that is.

You stand for God.

So is that really what God Said?

You know, we get our word and our message from God and our instructions from God, and of several different ways, one of them is in the actual scripture and they're the others are times where we get it through the holy spirit.

So God gives us messages and should be giving us regular instructions on what he wants us to do and how he wants us to live.

I don't know if anybody's have problem with this before.

I must just seem to be me, but it.

Whatever.

I bought some technology products, sometimes I get them home and I look at these to get it open.

Get it plugged up in stuff in it supposed to be automatic supposed to work.

Great for you and inevitably something goes wrong.

And I'm looking at this and then I'm trying to figure this out.

Scratching my head banging my head against things and it says to call this one eight hundred number.

So, what do I do?

Okay, I'll I'll call that one.

Eight hundred number.

Alright, cutting.

Call that 1-800 number, somebody answers and I go what?

I got some problems.

Troubleshooting, do you know?

This is, I can't get my AC to work in that type of thing and then go

I'm going, okay, let your little heart that's why I'm getting transferred around.

And finally, I end up somewhere overseas, where bless their souls, they're trying to speak English to me, and give me the instructions that I need to get this thing operating, but it just doesn't resonate with me.

And I'm sitting there asking them to repeat themselves, several times before I can get the instructions to actually get my product online and working the way it's supposed to.

Well, that's not the way.

God speaks very clearly in a way that we can understand.

So you can know that if God is talking to you, you're going to understand what he wants you to do understand those instructions.

And that's going to be what we're going to be talking about in 1st Samuel, today, 1st, Samuel, 15.

But I said, I promise that I got up here and I'm Sorry for so many Hoops, but I know that it's it's going to tie into this lesson.

Well, I don't know if there's a lot of people that like to cook in here.

Now, my wife and I are notoriously.

We don't like to cook.

All right.

Just lay it out there.

We don't like to cook.

All right.

Now, we will dabble in baking every once in a while when we have a craving and you know, occasionally I get the craving for one of my favorite recipes so I brought that in today and I started making it last night.

So one of my favorite recipes is the Nestle Toll House.

Chocolate chip recipe, OK Google.

Most everybody in here has either made tasted or or at least knows what the Nestle Toll House.

Chocolate chip recipe is okay.

Well I started making it last night and I got it mixed up here on this table here.

So I started doing this number Mixing all the ingredients and you see it looks pretty good in here.

In fact, it looks almost edible and here, but I didn't decide last night.

It was my great idea that I could possibly make something a little better than, Nestle, Toll House and that time that tested recipe.

So what I did is I will let you know what I think I'm going to do is I'm going to leave out one of the key ingredients.

So I left out the key ingredient of brown sugar.

So, there is no brown sugar in there.

This is all the rest of the recipe but there's no brown sugar in that recipe at all.

Now you guys are laughing.

Probably because one of them couple things can happen.

Why you make that nothing can be the ultimate disaster on the pan as it spreads out and tries to bake and the second thing is it might be edible but it made I'll be very tasty.

It definitely isn't the Nestle Toll House.

Chocolate chip recipe, right?

Why?

Because I left out the key ingredient.

I left out some of the instructions to make that particular recipe the way.

We know it and love it so it is just not the same.
