Sermon Transcript Tone Analysis

Our dear heavenly father.

We thank you for this glorious morning, amazing, the creation that you have made.

We have sixty nine degrees in the morning, in 100°, in the afternoon.

So we get a little rest with every day and we get a little pump in energy in the afternoon.

We're just so thankful for your grace provision that in every way that we could possibly imagine and many, many more that we cannot, imagine that you have expressed your policy, your desire to interact with man through Grace that is nothing we can do to earn to Garner your attention.

Lord, it is your grave provision that you were given to us.

This morning.

We come to take full advantage of that Grace, as we enter into a study of your word that we might understand the things of your thinking, your thoughts your perspective.

We might grow in our relationship with you and see you glorified all these things.

We pray in Christ Jesus name, amen.

Roy's.

So we will pick up from where we left off last week, but before we do, let's review.

So for Hebrews chapter 12, verses 1 and 2. Starting in verse 1. Let's read it.

Just so we have this in mind as we progressed.

Therefore, we also since we are surrounded by so great, cloud of witnesses.

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

Before us.

Looking on the Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith.

And for the joy, that was set before him.

Enjoy the cross, despising the shame and I sat down at the right hand of the Throne of God, No, we are learn previously that our main bird and the purpose of our passage is to run.

Receive Alan verse 1.

We are to lay aside everything.

And we are to run the point of these verses is to run it so easily been making her way through a concerted effort to get all the way through.

Hebrews chapter 11, we have been reviewing time and time.

Again, the Bible Doctrine is designed to function in your soul.

The goal is not to have Bible Doctrine because that could be good.

That is a Bible doctrine that does not function.

The goal is to have Bible Doctrine functioning in your soul.

And I would say that is one of the places of great error that we have seen potentially in the categorical, Grace movement.

Know, it's not something bad bracket Church, taught a Doctrine in your mind and your soul in your notes, get the reel-to-reels, get the tea.

Spend as much time in there and then just let it sit and not function but that's what many people have done.

Thought it was about academics.

For the point of academics is not academics, unless you're not get the mission academic academic.

Point.

Actually, the study of God's word is that it would function in our soul that it would be alive and working within us.

That's the entire point.

There is no other point.

So, we want to make sure that we have the cart behind the horse, not ahead of the horse.

One thing I found about horses is it when you attach the cart in front of them, don't want to go that direction.

Because they like to have nothing in front of them as they're walking along.

So the card goes behind the horse and then everything proceeds along properly.

And so we have insight into that saying and also into the reality then that if we get arcademics in the Forefront for the purpose of academic and shearly, purely for academics, then, we are backwards.

We are doing it the wrong way.

I could MX or not something to be sneered at, we don't drive them.

We don't have any place where I can absolutely have a need for a good.

Well done proper academics.

When it comes to the study and of God's word, in fact, it is imperative.

If we don't understand the context, if we mess up the grammar, if we haven't played with the critical text, that is figuring out.

What words are Actually there and did some scribe, change it or mess it up along the way.

if we don't pay attention to these things, we neglected to our own destruction to our own.

Illness.

Because God's word benefits us.

So,

The main bird here is to run to engage in the race laid before us, which is having Bible Doctrine functioning in your soul and it's no ordinary.

Ray says, we have studied, in the last couple weeks, it was a race of consequence.

These Peloponnesian races were a substitute for Warfare.

In other words, the race is the battle, the battle is the race, they're one in the same.

There's no room for distinguishing between them while we can say, okay, we got the runners over here and we got the military over here will in the Peloponnesian.

Games that we had a Mad Greek Arena.

We're all these different cities and constantly been at war with each other and they finally negotiated.

We will send our best runner out there.

We will send our best boxer out there.

We will send our best wrestler out there.

We will send our best Sprinter out there.

We will send our best marathon runner out there, and they will compete in substitute for, lopping each other's heads off.

That's a pretty good substitute, but that meant that what was riding on?

It was considerable taxes, making payments in tribute to the winning.

City is all wrapped up in it.

There's obligation that comes if your team loses, if your Runner loses.

That means you're sitting losses.

So what did people do?

They put everything into the risks.

They put everything into developing Runners.

It all the accoutrements that were necessary for the development of Runners that I was pretty limited.

Because unlike today can't say why I've got the best hyper bouncy, little fools to go in your shoes so that you can Sprint and bounce better than anyone else.

Or in the case of legless people we can say, oh yeah we can give you, we can give you Springs on your legs or is your running down.

You can run faster than any.

Boil it because we have made you almost bionic wheel added to your ability.

That wasn't allowed, everyone had to be stripped down.

Everyone had to be oiled every morning.

Every have everyone have the same food.

They trained in the same gymnasiums, they had the same Masters over them, to make sure that absolutely everyone trained in the same way that no one had the slightest Advantage at all.

So the games would be fair, as Fair as could be and they will get together and they compete and then the winner is the winter with no objections everyone.

Is on board.

That was the wintry.

He was the first to cross the line.

He threw down his opponent opponent.

He knocked out on his opponent.

So, it's very clear who the winner is.

So this is no ordinary rates that were entered into.

It's a race of consequences but we have a goal as we press forward into this Bible doctrine, that functions that our souls.

And that goal is the person and the work and all that.

Informs us of your shoe at Jesus, the Lord, Jesus Christ gives birth to Sons.

Looking unto Jesus.

This is what the runners are doing their pressing forward, but their goal, their objective, the direction they're headed.

The farthest thinking, everything that shape their training, everything that shakes their running, they're competing.

Involved in this looking unto Jesus.

In the original.

The word Grace here.

Races.
