Sermon lets make a deal
"LET'S MAKE A DEAL!"

INTRODUCTION

1. The title for this lesson comes from a popular game show on television... a. "Let's Make A Deal!", with Monty Hall b. Some even recorded it on their VCR for later viewing!

2. We're going to borrow the basic concept from this game show... a. To set the stage for our study b. To help illustrate an important point in our lesson

[I want you to imagine that have within my power to offer you some great deals...] I. LET'S MAKE A DEAL - THE GAME

A. MY FIRST OFFER... 1. I will give each of you $100,000 for your car(s) right now! 2. Would anyone turn this offer down? -- I doubt it; but before you spend the money, I have another deal to offer you

B. MY SECOND OFFER... 1. I will give each of you $1,000,000 for your car(s), but... a. You must give me back the $100,000 I just "gave" you b. You must wait one week c. You must leave your car where it is parked right now until next week d. You must be back here next Sunday to receive the money 2. Would anyone turn this second offer down? I doubt it... a. I suspect everyone would be willing to exchange $100,000 for $1,000,000 b. Not even the conditions would deter you; somehow you would: 1) Get back home (even walk if you have to) 2) Get along all week without your car 3) Get back here next Sunday, no matter what -- For the sake of illustration, let's assume everyone accepted the second offer

C. LET'S ANALYZE THIS... 1. The first offer sounded exciting at first, but paled in comparison to the second offer a. Who would wouldn't want $100,000 for their car(s)? b. But then the offer wasn't as exciting compared to the second offer 1) $1,000,000 is worth a lot more

    Everything for Sale

    In his book, Robert Kuttner (1999) tries to shake the dominant orthodoxy of laissez-faire economics, which he sees as the “natural form of capitalism,” by attempting to “reclaim a defensible middle ground” between when the market is “best left alone” and when it “needs help” (p. 5). Kuttner’s chief premise is that a mixed economy is necessary for a society that is civil and decent, a society where the economy is in optimum health. For Kuttner, unfettered laissez-faire economy is in conflict with mixed economy, and that their opposition is essentially a struggle between the moderate but rational dissent — the call for a mixed economy — and the prevailing orthodoxy, or the desire to retain the economic status quo. He further maintains that a mixed economy is realistic precisely because there is virtually no escape from politics, especially in the economic landscape where the government can influence its course by adopting certain national economic policies.…

    Dry Bones Sermon

    I can still recall the first time I heard a sermon on the valley of dry bones, taken from the book of Ezekiel chapter 37. I was around six or seven years old at Greater Salem Baptist Church in Louisville, Kentucky, were the Rev. T.B. Boyd was painting a picture of this valley full of dry dead bones toss around like dolls all over valley. I can still hear him as he talk about how depressing and dismal the sight was, dead dry bones as far as the eyes could see, bone after bone and they were dead. After a brief pulse, he would raise several questions: Is there any hope in this situation? Can these bones live again? In addition, he would expound on the conversation God had with Ezekiel regarding whether the bones could live again. Rev. Boyd would…

    The Covenant Tablet Of Wealth

    In the ANE, numerous tablet inscriptions and references exist, the oldest dating to ancient Babylon. Unfortunately, these references are general to an inscribed message. Authoritative references to tablets are less, and references to named tablets referred are rare. Research uncovered only five such tablets: the Covenant Tablet, the Tablet of Destinies, the Tablets with the Words of Fate, the Holy Tablet of the Heavenly Stars, and the Tablet of Wisdom.…

    Paul Is Dead Speech

    iv. To set the stage I am going to provide some background to for the topic. The conspiracy of Paul McCartney’s Death, first started in 1969 when, according to (Gardner, 2008), a radio station received a call from a listener who began to speak of various clues that were embedded in the work of the Beatles that all added up to the death of one very important man. The disk jockey at the time was obviously skeptical, but upon further research, he found a college thesis paper that for the most part, matched the story of the anonymous man. The radio personality went on to reveal the connections on the air basically leading to a moment of mass hysteria.…

    Teaching of Paul

    I have chosen to write my paper about how our country handles money and how “We the People” treat our President. First, The United States has faced many continuing issues, a few of which are budget shortage, health care, old infrastructure and immigration. These issues are complicated and have significant importance to where our country may end up in the future. The United States budget shortage is a very big problem. Our federal government is facing a series of financial challenges. Because of the recession tax revenues have declined. Money is needed for everything from roads, highways, sanitation, etc. We have bridges, school buildings, and parking lots that need to be fixed. In order for these things to begin to get fixed the government needs money and lots of it. Many feel that our government is just pocketing our money and are not doing what needs to be done with it. Is this true? I don’t think we will ever really know exactly we’re our tax dollars are spent. We will just have to keep on guessing.…

    Slacking Sermon

    Are students taking advantage of the education opportunities they are given at school? It is shocking to see how many students are sleeping in class or simply not doing their work. High school students do not realize how ‘slacking off’ can keep you from graduating or being able to obtain a college career. Students need to take education seriously because slacking off will not get them far in life.…

    Fathers Day Sermon

    The speaker is Steve Scoggins who is the preacher at First Baptist Church of Opelika. The setting was in a big white church with several members. We were greeted with big smiles and the church bulletin. My family and I sat in the balcony like most Sunday mornings. We sang hymns and songs and prayed the Lord’s Prayer before we heard the message. It was an early father’s day morning. The weather was beautiful with a few clouds insight. Pastor Steve spoke for about thirty minutes. The audience was full of people of all ages. It was filled with families that love the Lord. The audience was very attentive and responsive. The speaker is full of knowledge of the bible. He attended college and has a degree. He continues to study books of the bible every day. He was dressed nice wearing a button-up shirt, jacket and dress shoes. He delivered the speech in a very informative but timely manner. The message he gave the audience was full of clarity and very well organized. He stated three main points of the message and explained further in detail. Pastor Steve Scoggins told the audience personal stories and advice that everyone could relate to. He was very personable and easy to listen to. The pastor spoke to many hearts and I believe he reached out to several souls that were listening. The message was very relevant to the audience and the information given was very practical, useful, and overall informative. I enjoyed listening to the speaker and will continue watching him deliver many more message from our God, Jesus…

    Let's Make a Deal

    October 29, 1929, is more commonly referred to as ‘Black Tuesday.’ On this day, the United States stock market collapsed, leading to the sale of millions of shares of stock. In the ensuing months, various dominoes fell, resulting in banks, businesses, and other buildings closing and shutting down. One example rings clear. “A General Motors stock that sold for $91 before the Crash went for $30 the day after. By 1932 this stock would be selling for $7” (Schraff, 19). The entire country was too wary on keeping their stock; rather, everyone decided to take the easy way out and sell their stock before they drop even more. Herbert Hoover, the President at that time, was not able to quell the fear of the Americans and help those affected after the Crash. Luckily for America, Franklin Delano Roosevelt won the 1932 election. Immediately after arriving in office, President Roosevelt put his famed New Deals into effect. The two New Deals were highlighted by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, an investment protection organization; the Civilian Conservation Corps, a public works organization that gave jobs to millions of people; the Federal Emergency Relief Administration, an act that helped governments and citizens, and many others. By going through Roosevelt’s ‘alphabet acts,’ people can see that whatever was possible was done in order to help the United States of America to regain her status as one of the world’s superpowers. Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s two New Deals helped the United States of America and its economy rise out of the Great Depression of the 1930s.…
