Sermon Tone Analysis

*INTRODUCTION:    Read 1 Corinthians 15:1-11*

*Understand Old Testament Symbolism and then apply the importance*

 

*1.

**Manna* – *Exodus 16 (reference, do not read)*

·         God provided the Jew’s with their daily bread.

·         God is the provider of what is needed.

*APPLICATION:  John 6:32-33, 41, 48-50, 58*

*2.      **The Bronze Snake*            *Numbers 21:4-9*

·         The symbol reminded people of the consequences of sin.

(Sin brings Death)

·         The symbol that they looked at reminded them of their guilt it but was also the means of life.

(ex.

The Cross)

·         Defying logic, this symbol required a simple act of faith.

*APPLICATION:  John 3:14-18*

*3.      **Jonah*

·         This is a story that begins with God’s desire to bring about repentance, and provide forgiveness and give life.

·         Jonah spent 3 days and 3 nights in the belly of the fish, before the fish spit him out.

·         Jonah gave God’s call for repentance.

*APPLICATION:  Matthew 12:39-41, Luke 11:29-32*

*4.      **The Scapegoat*            *Leviticus 16: 8, 20-22*

·         This is the Day of Atonement.

·         /Everyone’s/ Sin Was Place on the Lamb.

·         God would deal with the Sin and with the Lamb.

*APPLICATION:  Isaiah 53:6b; Romans 5:17-19*

*5.      **Passover*         *Exodus 12: 5, 21-23, 46*

·         Passover was a time of Judgment.

·         Passover was a time of both death and freedom.

·         The Passover lamb was to be without defect and was not to have any bones broken.

·         To be passed over, meant that you had to be marked with the blood of the lamb.

·         Those being passed over partook of the lamb, whose blood provided the covering and protection.

·         I do not think that it was a coincidence that Jesus was crucified at the time of Passover.

*6.      **The Sacrificial System*

·         You could not find cleansing from sin without a sacrifice.

·         You could not have a right relationship with God without a sacrifice.

·         You could not properly worship God without sacrifice.

·         A sacrifice always required the taking of a life and the shedding of blood.

*APPLICATION:  Psalm 22:1-18*

*                                    Isaiah 53:5-6, 9-12*

*                                    Matthew 27:39-44; Luke 23:26-49; John 19:23-24, 31-37*

*CONCLUSION:                             *

*Isaiah 55 & 2 Corinthians 5:16-21*

* *

*1 Corinthians 15:1-11*

* *

* *

*John 6:32-33, 41, 48-50, 58 (NIV)*

32 Jesus said to them, “I tell you the truth, it is not Moses who has given you the bread from heaven, but it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven.

33 For the bread of God is he who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”

* *

41 At this the Jews began to grumble about him because he said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven.”

* *

48 I am the bread of life.

49 Your forefathers ate the manna in the desert, yet they died.

50 But here is the bread that comes down from heaven, which a man may eat and not die.

* *

58 This is the bread that came down from heaven.

Your forefathers ate manna and died, but he who feeds on this bread will live forever.”

* *

* *

* *

*Numbers 21:4-9 (NIV)*

4 They traveled from Mount Hor along the route to the Red Sea, to go around Edom.

But the people grew impatient on the way; 5 they spoke against God and against Moses, and said, “Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the desert?

There is no bread!

There is no water!

And we detest this miserable food!”

6 Then the Lord sent venomous snakes among them; they bit the people and many Israelites died.

7 The people came to Moses and said, “We sinned when we spoke against the Lord and against you.

Pray that the Lord will take the snakes away from us.”

So Moses prayed for the people.

8 The Lord said to Moses, “Make a snake and put it up on a pole; anyone who is bitten can look at it and live.”

\\ 9 So Moses made a bronze snake and put it up on a pole.

Then when anyone was bitten by a snake and looked at the bronze snake, he lived.

* *

* *

*John 3:14-18 (NIV)*

14 Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the desert, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, 15 that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life.

16 “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.

* *

* *

*Matthew 12:39-41 (NIV)*

39 He answered, “A wicked and adulterous generation asks for a miraculous sign!

But none will be given it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.

40 For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

41 The men of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and now one greater than Jonah is here.

* *

* *

*Luke 11:29-32 (NIV)*

29 As the crowds increased, Jesus said, “This is a wicked generation.

It asks for a miraculous sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah.

30 For as Jonah was a sign to the Ninevites, so also will the Son of Man be to this generation.

31 The Queen of the South will rise at the judgment with the men of this generation and condemn them; for she came from the ends of the earth to listen to Solomon’s wisdom, and now one greater than Solomon is here.

32 The men of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it; for they repented at the preaching of Jonah, and now one greater than Jonah is here.

*Leviticus 16:8, 20-22  (NIV)*

8 He is to cast lots for the two goats—one lot for the Lord and the other for the scapegoat.

* *

20 “When Aaron has finished making atonement for the Most Holy Place, the Tent of Meeting and the altar, he shall bring forward the live goat.

21 He is to lay both hands on the head of the live goat and confess over it all the wickedness and rebellion of the Israelites—all their sins—and put them on the goat’s head.

He shall send the goat away into the desert in the care of a man appointed for the task.

22 The goat will carry on itself all their sins to a solitary place; and the man shall release it in the desert.

* *

* *

*Isaiah 53:6b (NIV)*

6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray,

each of us has turned to his own way;

*/and the Lord has laid on him /*

*/the iniquity of us all.

/*

* *

* *

* *

*Romans 5:17-19 (NIV)*

17 For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive God’s abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ.

18 Consequently, just as the result of one trespass was condemnation for all men, so also the result of one act of righteousness was justification that brings life for all men.

19 For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous.

* *

*Exodus 12:5, 21-23, 46 (NIV)*

5 The animals you choose must be year-old males without defect, and you may take them from the sheep or the goats.

* *

21 Then Moses summoned all the elders of Israel and said to them, “Go at once and select the animals for your families and slaughter the Passover lamb.

22 Take a bunch of hyssop, dip it into the blood in the basin and put some of the blood on the top and on both sides of the doorframe.

Not one of you shall go out the door of his house until morning.
