Sermon Transcript Tone Analysis

Hey, man, you can turn your bowels, please.

To the book of Titus, the book of Titus Chapter 3 going to be in there again this morning.

That last week we talked about how the the gifts of Grace got you.

If you would just kind of grab that little of Slaughter.

Just pull it down just a little bit.

Turn the volume down.

Thank you.

We talked last week about the gifts of the gifts of Grace and about how great it was that God came down and he gave us his grace and all the benefits that we have to do that.

It was a great thing that we learned about God's salvation in hot rock salvation, their life and how it brought hope and how it brought Redemption it, how it box here.

T. But now, as we come into chapter 3, Paul is wanting us to take that Grace and he's wanting us to do something with it.

Once we have it in our hearts.

And once we have it in our lives than God is going to ask us to do something.

And so this morning, what I want to ask you this morning, is that are you ready?

And I when we think about our hearts and last we asked a question about.

Are you ready?

And when you come up by the church, and there's a big big, a big PowerPoint there on the back.

It says all you read, everybody's going to sit back in their take an old man.

We're about to have a two-hour Hellfire and brimstone about talk about how you need to get ready to go to heaven.

But that's not we're going to talk about this morning.

When we want to talk about is being ready and a lot of us like to talk about being ready for having a lot of us here.

I know everybody here, we ready to go to heaven, we ready to see Jesus but we are still here and trite as it for us and our lives to still be here because of Christ didn't want us to still be here.

We would not be here but he still has us here and he still has us here for a purpose, in the purpose is to do his work.

And so what Paul wants to ask us this morning.

Are you ready to take that Grace?

That God has given you and put it to work in this world flustrated.

Titus Chapter 3. We're going to begin with first ever one.

It says remind them to be submissive to their rulers and authorities in to be obedient and to be ready for every good work to speak evil to no one to avoid.

Quarreling, to be gentle and to show perfect courtesy towards all people for.

We ourselves were once foolish disobedient.

Let us draw a slaves to various passions and Pleasures passing our days in my list and envy and hatred by others and hatred of one another.

But when goodness and loving-kindness of God, our savior appeared and he saved us, not because of Works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own Mercy by the washing of regeneration.

Andre Duel of the Holy Spirit who he poured out on us richly through.

Jesus Christ, Our Savior and so that being justified by his grace.

We might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

This saying is trustworthy, and I want you to insist on these things.

So that those who have believed in God, may be careful to devote themselves to good works.

These things are at and profitable for people.

It starts out chapter one of us starts out chapter 3 and he's reminding the people to be obedient to the rulers and authorities to watch what they say around people to be courteous and kind and it draws on the atom.

Message that he has had for them and VS1 and in the first couple of verses of chapter 2. When he talks about us being examples and it chapter 2, he talked about as we talked last week about how he was commanded them to be examples to one another that the old man should live their lives in a way that they would set the example for younger men and that the women would live there.

The older women would live their lives in such a way that they would be an example for the younger women, there in the church and how the young man should begin about their lives in such a way that they would begin to set an example for those who around us around them than their peers and the young ladies as well.

She began to live their life in such a way that they would set an example for their peers around them.

And so now, what Paul wants to do is he wants to take this call for us to be An example, out of the church out on how we influence one another here in the body of Christ, but he wants us to take our example and show it to the world.

We need to be an example of Jesus Christ wherever we go, but some of us need to realize that the example that we said four other people about, Jesus Christ.

Can sometimes be more of a hindrance to the gospel.

Then it is a promotion of the Gospel.

We can spend so much time, so much time and rebelling and complaining.

That it says, man, these people are no different than Dustin.

They're actually worse than us with all their complaining and all of their griping.

We can be a hindrance to the gospel.

By the way that we talk to each other.

We can be a hindrance to the gospel in the way that we run our mouths.

We can be a hindrance in the gospel.

The way that we talk on our social media in the way that we talk at work and the way that we talk of the restaurants, in the way that we do things.

We can be a hindrance to the gospel.

What what he wants us to do is he wants us to be an example of Jesus Christ.

I want you to be an example because I want you to understand why you are still here upon this Earth.

You are here.

To do good works.

Don't ask you this morning.

Just as Paul asked you, are you prepared for every good work in your life.

Are you a prepare to be an example?

Are you prepared to show people how to come to Jesus Christ?

Or do you spend your days, griping and complaining and hate, and being rude and big bang?

And being course?

Drawing people away?

Or are you living your life in such a way that says, man.

This person is different.

This person is different.

I want to be like him.

I want what you have, you know, there's a difference between people coming up and saying that, I want you, what you have, and people coming up to you and say, hey man, what are you smoking?

What?

What Jesus wants us to do?

He wants us to be ready for the good works.

He wants to live our lives.

In a way that draws lost people to Christ, but too many times that we have.

When we think about those who are lost around them, we want to condemn them.

We want to judge him.

We want to talk bad about him.

You know, we want to gossip about him.

And we really get to a point sometimes as Christians when you've been at church long enough.

And when you get to a point where you think that you're good enough, man, you forget what it was like.

You forget about what your life was like, and you show, not empathy.

Not sympathy, not compassion for the lost like Jesus did, but you show.

Can you show judgmentalism to them?

And Paul says, I want you to ask your way to be an example to them.

Even when they're rude to you, even when they're mean to you, and even when they talk bad about you, you should still be courteous.

You should still be kind.

You should still be showing the Heart of Jesus to them.

Why what he tells us.

Why he says I want you to remember is that I want you to remember.

Look at verse number 3, it says for we ourselves were once foolish disobedient.

Let us draw a slave to various passions and Pleasures passing our days in Malice and envy hated by others and hating one another.

I hope for us.

As Believers that describes how he used to be.

But for too many, in our lives that still describes how we are now.

But he wants us as Believers to remember how we used to be how we used to be lost how we used to just chase after passions.

How we lived.

Worthless life.

Man.

We thought we had everything made.
