Movement Four: Redeeming - Part One (4 of 5)
Series: Christmas Symphony
Cal Jernigan
John 1:1-14
1) Getting Started
a) Merry Christmas!
i) Greetings all
ii) Welcome to Central
b) Recap of Symphony
i) Our theme for the month of December
ii) We find ourselves in the middle of this today
c) The story of the Bible in Five Movements:
i) Creating - God created ... put us on a perfectly tuned planet
ii) Scattering - sin ruined it all... put us ''out of tune''
iii) Gathering - God is determined to get us back, to restore us
iv) Redeeming - this is really the story of Christmas
d) One thing we can be sure of: God would want each of us to hear, to understand and to apply the truth of this story to our lives
e) Yet, while in one sense the story of God is crystal clear, most people would probably say they really don't know the tune.
i) Something in the ''transmission'' of the story created some distortion
ii) Some form of static got in the way
2) Can You Hear It?
a) Why?
i) Listening/hearing is harder than you might imagine
ii) Not everyone hears the same things
(1) The mosquito ring tones on phones in school
(2) The sound is there... but not all can hear
iii) The point of communication is to be heard:
(1) Clearly
(2) Accurately
b) In music, this concept is really easy to illustrate
i) The goal of any music recording is to get the sound and replicate it as clearly as possible.
(1) In other words...
(a) At the source... this you hear clearly and distinctly
(b) When you are away from the source... there is some kind of medium used to transmit the ''truth'' or the ''reality'' of what was actually produced
(2) If something distorts the original you will pay a price
ii) Throughout the history of music, people have tried to capture the sound as purely as possible (Is it live or is it Memorex?)
iii) A journey down the relatively recent path of music (In the lifetimes of those of us in this room)
