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
