Sermon Transcript Tone Analysis

Security station.

I'm on my way.

Security Staffing.

I'm on my way.

I thought I'd throw that in there for you this morning for a little little humor.

We are going to be talking about in the door was shut.

I bought, I want to begin by saying thank you for being here.

Glad that you're with us this morning and we can worship our Lord and savior together.

Think about all the blessings that we have in Christ Jesus.

And the thank the father for all that he's blessed us with.

It's such a joy that we can do that together.

And and again we're grateful for that.

And so, as we think about the door that was shut.

I was also thinking about starting in 2022, in January, will begin our, our study on the lack of Pride that I'm not going to be given the scripture up here on the, on the screen, but I'm going to read it and I want you to bring your Bibles.

And to open up to the scripture and read along with me.

All right, I think I'm making you all too lazy.

So we're going to open up our Bibles, and we're going to read together the main text.

I'll put other text up there on the screen, but the main text will read together.

And, and I like, for you to go through these things.

You get to know your Bible.

You get to know where the books are.

You get to know the order of the books?

And so, you don't have to turn to that to the index or to the the, the front page and find out where that book is.

So I like for you to bring your Bibles.

The church.

The novel concept is it bring your Bible to church?

Be always brought our Bibles to church, but of course, we do have two bottles, but we had ter Bibles nephew.

So if you don't have a Bible you can use the church Bibles and if you don't want to use the church bottles and you want to, but I will let me know and I'll get you back.

Okay?

I want you to have a Bible.

I want you to bring that Bible and I want you to either bring the Bible on using or used by what's in front of you and use it.

We're going to do that together.

Before we get into our lesson this morning.

I do want to go to God In Prayer.

Let's go to God In Prayer.

Father in heaven, we thank you for the opportunity to be here today and Father.

We thank you for the the wonderful rest that we had last night.

The father were thankful for.

Even the concept of rest itself.

We know father that when we are overly tired.

We are weaker.

and when we retired, father, were more susceptible to Send.

Falling to temptation.

And father, that were even more prone to become discouraged.

Father, we know that you desire.

The best from your people.

It was true in the old Covenant.

We had to bring the best of the Flack.

To offer up the sacrifice to you.

and even today, as we live under the New Covenant.

You still desire the best and that is from our heart.

We pray.

Father that as we rest.

We will gain strength in order to give us to give you our best.

Father, help us to be more Vigilant in our lives.

Help us to be.

Watchful alert.

And always be ready.

Father.

We don't know when.

But we know that you're coming back.

Father, help us to be ready, help us to be prepared.

Father, help us to be looking for you.

And father, may we continue to be putting you first in our lives?

By reading your word.

By studying your word.

And father, by doing your words.

May we all live to put you.

And your church first in our lives, in Jesus name, we pray.

Amen.

And the door was shut.

So we're going to be focusing upon that expression that we find here in the text.

No Hayden read verses 1 through 9, but I held back having pain to the left.

So now we're going to read 10 and 11 and add these two verses to what we already know.

So, and while they went to buy the bridegroom and those who were ready, went in with him to the wedding.

And the door was shut.

Afterward, the other birds with came also saying, Lord, Lord open to us.

But the door was shut.

And that was it.

It was complete just as Jesus said, it was finished when he was dying upon the cross.

Hear the story is about the door being shut and when the door is shut, its final.

It's over with no one can enter in.

No one can come in.

And so, as we looked at the beginning, part of the text, there are ten virgins.

And they're getting ready for the one, we're getting ready for the bridegroom and they come in with their lamps, full of oil.

At least.

Some of them have had their lamps.

Full of the other five did not end.

So, they weren't prepared.

They were ready.

At least from what we know because the text tells us the bridegroom was delayed.

So obviously there's always delays and weddings.

There's always delays and just about everything in life.

And so we need to be prepared, right?

Just like when we were coming to church, we know what time Church begins, but we also know that there's always going to be something that might getting away.

We might forget something, there might be an accident.

There might be a fire.

There might be something that might delay us and so we make the preparations to be here and to be here on time will the same thing with these virgins fiberwise that they were prepared and ready to go.

But five were unwise and I found out quickly.

That when the bridegroom closes the door, the door is shut.
