Sermon Transcript Tone Analysis

Are there only father, we are grateful for the provision, you've given to us, this place to come and study your word.

This place to gather together as a congregation to be involved in the worship of you, as we Orient towards your truth.

Pray that you would take this time, utilize it to change our thinking that we might be more like your son.

Lord Jesus Christ.

We might understand things.

More clearly, we might walk board in the provisions that you have made available to us, pray that we would understand.

And then we would be oriented to living the spiritual life by Grace.

This is your work, your provision, you've done everything, we need for it.

So we pray, you would grow us and our understanding of it.

These things we pray in Christ Jesus name.

Amen.

Well, we've been working our way through Hebrews chapter 11 and that we found that in Hebrews chapter 12, verses 1 through 3. It's actually a consider a continuation of Hebrews chapter 11 for a few verses there.

In fact, the chapter 2 Vision really shouldn't be there at all.

The guy who we studied a few weeks back hoop while he was on his horses Journey from Switzerland to France was sitting there and making all the divisions that we actually still used today, didn't always get it right?

Or maybe he went over a bump and you know that line went in the wrong place.

I don't know how that worked out but chapter 12 doesn't have to be 12:30, probably be still part of chapter 11.

Last week.

We noted that Hebrews 12:1 through 2.

you used a word which is an antecedent and it's an intensive particle, the Greek term Puig goren.

Good points.

Back to the entire setting of a context, the runs through Hebrews chapter 11 and that actually started back in Hebrews chapter 10 verse 39.

So we find that everything in Hebrews 11, depends on 10:39.

So really, why are there chapters anywhere at all?

Because it's all quite confusing.

If I were to put the chapter break would be right before 10:30 9. Continuing all the way through Hebrews chapter 11 on and the Hebrews chapter 12, through the first few board versus and then we would have that which goes together, which I consider to be a chapter of content. of course, we know that the verses are not inspired, it's just something mad has done so that we can kind of talk to each other and say, you know that chapter is that verse in the Bible is inspired

So that is why I treated as if it is something to Mark in a way the chapters and verses as we go.

Merrell the Intensive.

Particle here does not translate well into single word argument.

For other particles, we would use a therefore or wherefore.

So I'm having a headache, I might say, and for whatever reason seems to help it.

Therefore I'm going to walk across the street and buy something caffeinated and come back and hope that stops my headache.

See, I set up the argument, I gave you a ver 4, which is a conclusion and it's tying what came before.

What I'm going to do afterwards, we do the same thing with the word wear for just a slightly different orientation.

If I'm talking about something you up close I may use one word if I'm talking about something further away.

I use another word for I'm using French.

I would say wassi, it's right here.

Fun.

Looking at something out there back at the table I would say it is, it is with what's happening in the in the phraseology in the wording here in this particular phrase, this word and the Greek was looking all the way back to that which causes.

And then it makes that cause a search, he demand or a conclusion.

It's a very assertive particle that we have here.

It's not just I have a headache and it might help me.

So therefore, I'm going to Get the caffeinated, drink to help my headache.

It is, this is a certainty and you need to be aware of this.

And this is so important that I pull out the big strong article, we don't have that article in English.

We don't have a corresponding word, that's that intense.

So we use a phrase in this case where we translated it was too was for this very reason they're four for this reason and it's pointing back to Bruce 10:39 for this reason and Hebrew 10:39.

Therefore, I'm stating what is about to be stated here in Hebrews chapter 12, verses 1 and 2. What's read it?

What is it?

Stating Therefore, we also since we are surrounded by so great.

A cloud of witnesses.

Let us lay aside every weight, the sin, which so easily, and snares us and let us run with endurance, the race that is set before us.

Brewstew looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith.

Who for the joy, that was set before him and ordered the cross.

Despising, the shame and has sat down at the right hand of the Throne of God, verse 3, just doing one into here.

So we saw that year is drawing us.

Back to that verse that starts the discussion.

10:39.

So let's look at that to the conclusion.

We are not of those who draw back to Perdition But if the whole Super Weave to the saving of the Soul.

So we spent time last week, going through an understanding what this verse means here in 10:39.

And we came away with a couple of conclusions after digging into the tax, we have a couple of conclusions.

We are not to be those who shrink back because that's what that Greek term means to shrink back to pull away.

We are not to be those who shrink back.

But to be those who step forward, who reach Outreach forward.

The delimiter here.

Is the ruler.

The measuring standard is whether we are reliant upon the word of God or not.

That's what 10:39 of Hebrews.

It's toss this out in front of us.

Here is the issue.

Do you depend on God's word for your thinking?

Is that your Authority?

Are your conclusions based on your thinking or your conclusions based on the Bible sinking is the Bible doctrine.

That drives your mind, your consideration of things around you.

How you deal with trials, or difficulties your personal life, how you gauge, what's going on in the culture around us? How you understand the responsibility of man?

How you interpret FX?

That place were Mankind and gauges with the world around him.

Are these things coming from the word of God or they coming from your favorite TV show?

They could be coming from anywhere, there's an awful lot that's pouring into her mind.

But what we are told here, it's something quite conclusive that there are those people who shrink back that is, they don't have the courage to step forward to.

Hang onto there are actually cowardly when it comes to walking by faith or depending upon God's word.

instead of circumstance is or what people say,

Isaiah 58 verse 11 says, in the Lord will continually guide you and satisfy your desire and scorched places and give straight to your bones and will be.

And you will be like a watered Garden in like a spring of water.

Whose Waters do not fail.

Is that how you think?

That's what God is promise.

That's what he has said.

He is saying he will continually guide you in your life.

Big things, small things.

He will guide you and your life.

Speaking of your spiritual existence will be like a watered Garden that is full of prosperity.

Not dry.

Not using Def.

Now there are certainly dry times of the soul that we seem to go through whether those are times of testing in trial because of circumstances that we need to address them deal with or because we made poor choices.

And so now we're having to deal with the consequences of those choices.

Either way, it doesn't matter of the question is as you go through that time, are you relying on God's word, God's promises?

Because if you are, you will be like a watered Garden where life is springing forth.

I've got some plans around the property, especially my property where the Segway business is Wisteria, especially if it turns out the wisteria, plant will grow 18 in overnight.

And so I've got this heads of Wisteria right along the front of the entrance of the driveway coming down into the Segway business.

And if I go two days without getting out there and cutting these little Pieces of the kids want to just kind of shoot out the reaching for the sun right in the way of all my customers were trying to walk you in when I get people on Safeway's and I'm training him how to ride around and use them.
