Sermon Transcript Tone Analysis

Gary Bible, some with me, if you will the efficiency chapter 6, that's where we will be.

Picking up in our study, through the Epistles of Galatians Ephesians.

Next week, we will begin.

Colossians.

Philippians scuse me, it's the next one in line.

You need to remember how it goes Its General Electric Power Company.

Galatians Ephesians, Philippians Place must be a New York thing cuz I never heard that in Texas.

I've heard that a few times since I've been in New York so must be where it comes from.

We've been looking through these letters.

This Ephesian letter that Paul is writing to the church shows the balance between the Christian Life their Doctrine and their Duty.

If God's word is true, if we believe what God's word says our Doctrine, then defines our duty.

We have a responsibility but those are the things that we both have.

It is divine sovereignty and human responsibility.

That's put before us.

If God is divine, I believe you is.

If God is Sovereign, I believe he is.

Then you and I have a responsibility that he has passed before us.

We do not obey him in order to receive his grace his grace has already been bestowed upon us.

So therefore we obey him and responds to that Grace.

He is giving us It's likes being thankful.

Yeah, we don't wait.

We shouldn't wait till tell her.

Tell her parents thank you when they give us the inheritance right if there's going to be an inheritance of any kind and I'm not just talking about financial inheritance.

My my family was not one in which we had to worry about a financial inheritance.

When the family when Mom or Dad there was more important things and financers, there is a spiritual inheritance that I received.

There's a faith inheritance that I received from my folks.

My family that far outweigh any money that could be given, there's also a little Martin guitar.

Also that I picked up as well, have fun that inheritance until we're missing the bigger picture.

I'm not saying financially, there's anything wrong with finances, having money, there's nothing wrong with that, but if that's what we're living for, we're living for the wrong thing.

Ephesians chapter 6, talks to us about being under the spirits influence, saying, to be filled with, means to be controlled by With her, if we are filled with rat as Luke 4:28 talks about then we are controlled by that wrath.

If we are filled with fear, as Luke 5:26 talks about, then we are controlled by that fear.

If we are filled with the spirit, as a book of Acts, talk to us about an as we see here and eat in Ephesians.

If we're filled with the spirit than, that's the spirit that controls us.

We do not control the spirit.

Believe it or not.

We think we do the spirit.

Controls us.

What we are in control of his.

How much of the Holy Spirit we desire?

We want to have Say what what do you mean by that and I like in that to a gas tank on your vehicle more.

So today than ever before, you can go put $5 of gas in your car.

You're not going to get very far right.

You'll go places but you're not going to get very far or you can feel the vehicle up and go further.

Many times we want to walk around with a little bit of the spear just enough to get by.

We're not walking filled with the spirit, the way that we should be by that.

What I mean is when you and I accept Christ as our Lord and savior, we get all the spirit we're ever going to get.

There is no more Spirit to get other than how much we desire to live for the Lord, on a daily basis.

That's your choice in my choice.

There's a, there's an opportunity of how we obtain that there's an opportunity about how we can't keep those tanks of the Holy, Spirit-filled and a writing the proper way and specially in this day and time.

On the day of Pentecost, the Believers were filled with the Holy Spirit is Acts chapter 2 and verse 13 tells us cuz they were filled with new wine.

Those walking around with seeing what was going on in the unbelievers were mocking.

Those filled with the spirit.

A look at these guys.

It's 9 in the morning and they're already drunk.

Because of what was going on there, they heard them babbling if you will talking and they didn't understand what was being said.

However,

when the apostles got up to speak, scripture tells us when they got up to speak and they spoke in their own language.

Those around them that did not know their language heard in their own language.

That's not the work of man.

That's the work of God.

That's the work of the holy spirit.

In the ears of those who are hearing, see when God's word is that, fourth, it doesn't come back void.

He tells us that in Scripture A man, when we plow the field, we plant the seed.

God does the rest of the work, our responsibilities as Christians, our duty, as Christians is to plant the seed, wherever we go, whatever we're doing.

We need to be planting the seed.

This is a drunk is influenced by alcohol.

So a Believer is controlled by the spirit.

That's what the scriptures tell us.

Be not drunk with wine.

We're in Lake Success, but be filled with the Holy Spirit.

There are some important differences that we are going to look at or that we will understand the drunk loses self control.

But the spirit gives the believer self-control the big difference.

We played in a beer and softball league, right?

We play, we played in a Christian league and they were far worse than the beer league.

Right.

You can vouch for that.

You probably post some of our names on the Monday night, rest them Monday night, right?

Is that holy moly?

We're playing against Christians and there's more fights broke out in our Christian League than in our in the beer league.

So, wish I was forget that.

Let's just go up to the auction.

Let's play with them play soft.

We, we couldn't stand.

We had nothing against those guys.

You know what?

It's that.

They were, we were the worst team out there.

Really where?

But we kept showing up, we kept playing, they didn't like it when we first got there washers, Chris was his church group doing in our league.

but a lot of the people that we played against My boys went to school with Lacey, a gun to school with, with some of the girls that were on the hillside, watching their boyfriends, or their husbands, play ball and our wives were there.

They were over here.

What those are round?

Worst thing about our church Manipulators were just playing softball.

Still want the guy stood up and yelled at all of them.

Maybe use a few obscenities.

But he said, and that's why it's not going to be word for word.

You guys just need to shut up.

There's not one guy out there on that field, that would not give you the shirt off of his back if you needed it.

Silence.

From that day forth, it was a little different with us playing there.
