For an explanation of what this post is about, check out this post. The sermon I'm analyzing.
My Attempt before Listening to the Sermon:
Title: The Promised SaviorTelos: Jesus, born king of the Jews, fulfills what was spoken about him as the promised savior to come.
My Outline
1. Jesus is God2. Jesus Fulfilled Prophecy
3. All of Scripture Points to Jesus
Walking Through the Sermon
- who are these wise men from the East?- Were they Jews? If not why would they come to worship Jesus as a baby?
- Already Jesus is being proclaimed as King, “he who has been born king of the Jews?”
But you, O Bethlehem Ephrathah, who are too little to be among the clans of Judah, from you shall come forth for me one who is to be ruler in Israel, whose coming forth is from of old, from ancient days. - Micah 5:2
- the verse cited from Micah also says Jesus' "coming forth is from of old, from ancient days."
- Jesus was not created by God
- Jesus is not a being created when born on earth as a baby, he was and is and is to come, he is God
- Joseph warned in a dream by an angel
- Angels are not of this world, and can communicate with us not only in our world, but in the world of dreams in our mind
- vs. 15 “This was to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet...”
- Do you realize the book you’re holding has words that God, the creator of the universe, has spoken to men?!
- Because of Jesus coming into the world all children in the area two years old and under were killed
- Vs. 17 “then was fulfilled...” are you getting the sense of one thing Matthew is doing here? He keeps pointing out, Jesus keeps fulfilling scripture!
- The scripture they had was the OT, and we see the OT looking ahead pointing to Jesus over and over again
- Teach on Biblical Theology how the whole bible is one unified story pointing to Jesus
- an angel appeared to Joseph in a dream again
- can you imagine this happening to you or your spouse, “Honey, I had another dream. We’re moving.”
- would that have been easy? No! And yet they were obedient
- The Bible tells us those who obey God’s commands, he it is who he loves, who abide
- Mary and Joseph, the parents of Jesus obeyed the voice of the Lord
- Clear up how it sounds like the angel said go to Israel but then changed and said go to Galilee, but Galilee is a city IN Israel
- What’s the last Vs. 23 about? “So that what was spike. By the prophets would be fulfilled”
- Jesus is the promised savior and messiah to come, Jesus means Yahweh saved, God saves
- All of the OT has been leading up to this point, Jesus coming to save
Notes from Kyle's Sermon:
Outline
- 4 places attached to 4 prophecies- Through those 4 we’ll learn about the trustworthiness of Jesus
1. Bethlehem
2. Egypt
3. Ramah
4. Nazareth
Notes From Kyle’s Sermon:
- example of members taking in a foster baby- parents want to know are these foster parents trustworthy? Rigorous process to become foster parents
- Jesus is worthy of your trust for salvation
- Matthew presents this
1. Bethlehem
- from you shall come a ruler who will shepherd my people- Baby to be born is the promised king
- Comment on how terrible Herod is and
- Teaching on 3 magi how they’re not Kings of orient old but noblemen
- Stuff they wouldn’t make up in the Bible verifies it’s true
- 2 parts of Micah 5 together
- Teaching on Israel looking for shepherd to come, God as their shepherd
- Psalm 23 the Lord is my shepherd
- Ezekiel 24 David will be their shepherd, but this was after David was dead so it’s about the son of David Jesus
- John 10 ”I am the good shepherd”
- “I am the divine shepherd king”
- He’s worry if your trust
- Revelation 7
- Talks to non Christians how we naturally shepherd ourselves but gospel calls us to look to anothe shepherd and trust him completely
- Reads a large portion of the sermon text
- Highlights a few things worthy to note in what he read
2. Egypt
- “out of Egypt I called my son”- verse quotes Hosea
- Reads Hosea
- Israel called son of God
- Quotes Exodus where it calls Israel God’s son
- Quotes OT more about Israel coming out of Egypt
- Israel sometimes seen as broader than just the nation of Israel
- God has been weaving together a story from creation itself to save you from your sin
- He is worthy of your trust
3. Ramah
- Teaches on how horrible Herod was- teaches on how verse quotes from Jeremiah 31 is connected
- Reads a lot from Jeremiah 31
- weeping referenced because Jesus is bringing an end to it
4. Nazareth
- small difference from other 3 prophecies- You won’t find this prophecy in the OT but the theme is found in the OT that Jesus wouldn’t be honored as king of the Jews
- Nazareth has no prestige
- Used example to show it’s an unimportant place
- “can anything good come from Nazareth?”
- Theme - Jesus was humble, he humbled himself
- Mocked even to his death
- Psalm 22 “mt God why have you forsaken me?”
- Quotes more OT showing how Jesus would be despised
- If he doesn’t humble himself he doesn’t die for you and you’re not saved
- Jews were looking for conqueror “he can’t be a Nazarene!”
- The only question: can you trust him?
- Every single person will have to answer that question
Takeaways:
Kyle's used a current example from the body to illustrate and start of the sermon and it worked really well and connected the lives of the people listening to the text they were getting teaching on. Kyle announces when he’s moving on to the next point of his sermon, which I find very helpful. The outline is clear in my notes both the handwritten ones from that Sunday and the new ones I took for this exercise. Once again Kyle came up with an outline I wouldn't have thought of. It kind of zooms out and takes a step back from the text, looks at it as a whole, and thinks creatively to come up with the outline. Impressive stuff.
