The nature of the onion - children's address

No, this morning. I want to leave just a thought

with the boys and the girls and the young people and I've

discovered. That.

There's a word in the Bible That's only used once.

Last week. We were looking at the word

Apple. Today, I want us to think all

this vegetable. Can anybody tell me what this

vegetable is? Who knows?

Sarah Jean? It's an onion.

That's right. Did you know that the Bible only

mentions the onion wants to let me read the reference in numbers

Numbers 11:5

11 verse 5. We remember the fish which we

did eat in Egypt, freely, the cucumbers, and the melons, and

the leeks, and the onions, and the garlic, young people.

The word onions is only mentioned in the bible once and

I want us to think today. They just very quickly, briefly

think of the character of onions.

Onions. Cumin different shapes and

sizes. And this RC Regina said as a red

onion, and did you know that onions can grow and grow?

There's a mr. Glover won a prize for growing

onions, and his onion grew to 18 pounds.

And we hit that that's the equivalent to name bags of

sugar. Onions can be planted in any

type of soy so they can grow anywhere all over the world in

different places. And what an onion needs is the

right amount of sunlight and the right amount of water and it can

grow in any soil and, you know, boys and girls, young people.

The Bible tells us something about being a Christian that

were to grow in Grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior

Jesus Christ, and maybe sometimes you're thinking well,

how can I be a Christian at school?

There's nobody else in my class saved.

How could I be a Christian? In in the workplace may be of

gone into the world of work and you discovered how Wicked and

ungodly individuals can be with their language and their

lifestyle. Maybe you're thinking, well, I'm

off to University and I'm worried about the drug culture

and the drink culture. And how is that going to impact?

And me, and I could experience that peer pressure to go along

with that crying. Well, can I encourage you if you

have the right amount of light on the right amount of water?

Her, you can be a Christian anywhere.

The workplace home school University.

Even in the most difficult places that you can imagine in

the whole of the world brother. Graham was praying for North

Korea. And I'm sure it'd be very

difficult to be a Christian in North Korea.

But even there if you have the right amount of light on the

right amount of water and I'm thinking, of course of the water

of the word of God, I'm thinking of the light of God in the soul

through the instrumentality of His Holy Spirit.

And I have discovered something about an onion that I didn't

know at all the deeper, you caught into an onion.

The stronger, the smell of the onion s that the stronger and

sent that gives off, and of course, isn't that true for

ourselves and for the grew in Greece, the knowledge of Christ,

then we must dig deep into the word of God.

And an in fact if I took this onion and cut it and put it into

my fridge, everything that was in my friends.

Let's say my steak and my harm and my bacon and sausages and

and maybe even some other things that it pineapple buns that are

there. Well, they'd all be attacked by

The Onion over time such as the strong scent that the onion

gives off the smell of the onion goes into other food and doesn't

other even the lesson for us and relation to its character.

The deeper, you caught the stronger, it has and the deeper

you go into Christ and then to the word of God, and get into

the very heart of the gospel and try to understand who God is and

understand the gospel. Then the stronger you'll be and

the more fragrance of Christ. Will you give out and you'll be

in able to do exactly as the Bible says, to grow in Grace and

in the knowledge of Christ? Now, I've brought a knife with

me here and I'm going to cut this onion and we're going to

have a little look at it. If they don't cut my fingers

now, with the sand for the ambulance, or the doctor.

Okay. Now you can all see cutting into

the onion. You see if I was to peel off all

this skin and began to cut the onion into little bits for the

fryin pan. The onion would release us

sulfur that Sent to the A's. And it would open my tear ducts

and it would make me cry. In fact, I can smell of sulfur

right now. So we could talk about the

calling of the onion. And here's the children of

Israel and they're in the wilderness for a number of

years. And God has given them at the

start. All this lovely manner.

It came as a gift of God, but over time they get so used to

it. They started to completely in

and Mumble and murmur and then they started saying to God, but

we remember the fish. Shhhh, we remember the

cucumber's, the melons the leeks.

We remember the onions. You see?

They were thinking of the onions.

Supposed to be a high source of vitamin C help with stomach

ulcers, lower your cholesterol. If they get stung with the bay,

they could rub the sulfur of the onion onto that.

It's supposed to be a good Conte.

Oxen. They saw the onions or something

was good for them. Rightly, so, but the cutting of

the onion. Brings us to tears.

And in life's journey, we have many things at Regis has to

tears as we're going to learn later on in the sermon.

The last thing I want you to learn to put the onion, has this

the consistency of the onion. If you look very carefully, you

can see the many, many layers. And if I was to peel off one

layer and another, their eight Slayer would be the sium.

So I could go from the outside right into the N side and it's

all See him consistent all the way through.

Could I just asked how consistent are?

You boy, or girl, or a young person as a Christian?

You see there's many that profess to be Christians in the

outside, like the Pharisees. They're cleaning the outside.

They pray, they read the Bible, to go to church and they say all

the right things. But in their heart, they've

never had a new heart. They're not clean, from the

inside out. They're not consistent rate down

to their heart. It's all artwork.

And remember the Bible tells us that God requires truth in the

inward parts. Now, I've discovered this that

over in the town of boundary, which is in Lisbon not too far

away, that used to be famous for Onions.

And in fact, the used to be a sin as strong as a voluntary

onion. Wonder if anybody's ever heard

of that a strong as a voluntary onion you see?

And it's not what we want. If you're going to be strong in

the Lord and you're going to trust in him, then we've got to

remember to do exactly as the Bible says.

And God will, I praise his word and God, have I put my trust and

in every situation in life. Journey of you're going to be

strong in the Lord and have that consistency.

Then you must allow the Lord to be your strength and to be your

help. And I leave that little fought

with you today. Onion is only mentioned once in

the Bible, the character, The Cutting, and the consistency.

Well, the Lord bless you have to be careful for time.
