Sermon Tone Analysis

Rise up

Building a heavenly life on Earth

Our body is for God’s use in the present and for the future resurection

you will only rise as high as your passion

what are you passionate about?

The father can raise dead people to life at the end of the age (resurrectiion), the Son does what the father does but he does it in the present.

There is something about us that needs the life of God.

We share in a death and a resurrection of Christ

Our death, is to put aside our own desires that we would align with God’s life

Our place is in heaven, that is the real authority in our life.

Should we fear what authorities may do to us on earth?

No! The real power is the with the one who has your eternity in the grasp of his hand.

My Heart is in heaven

If the soul is completly consumed with the notion of “my heart is in heaven”.

The interest of my heart, its desire, its passion are now on Jesus, the lord of heaven.

Col 3:2

The competition is made clear, earthly things will try to steal your passion

Paul warns us that we can find our selves spiritual captives of deceptive philosphy (arguments, constructed opinions), human tradition (what we have always done) and basic ‘spiritual power’(love, forgiveness, acceptence) that human being’s try to make more important than Knowing God himself.

Instead , let Christ have your thoughts.

Col 3:3

How do I do this.

I need to live as those things have no hold on me.

I can live without them

the lord that raises the Body and the spirit

The lord brings healing to both, he saves both.

So now, get up out of your unwholeness because God heals
