Speaker 1 (00:00):
Lord, we thank you. Lord, will bless you for so
much love you have for us. For the Bible says,
for God so loved the world that he gave this
one and only son, that also ever believe in him
shall not perish, but have it an alive. Thank you
Jesus for giving us this life. Thank you Jesus, because
(00:22):
you said in your word those who have rejected you
are condemned already, but for everyone who believe in You
is saved. Holy Spirit, we are grateful. Thank you for
these wonders that you have wrought in our lives. That Lord,
our faith.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
In you is not in vain. Thank you, Gracious God.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Lord, open our eyes again as we look at your
word to understand the power of resurrection. Lord, we are grateful.
Thank you, Holy Spirit. In Jesus Mighty name, we pray
congratulations to every one of us, for as many who
(01:08):
as surrender, who have surrendered their lives onto Jesus. I
congratulate you today, because this is a day that every
one of us must celebrate with great assurance that God,
our Father, what he has promised to do through the
(01:30):
coming of Jesus, has actually been done. May his name
be praised forever and ever in the mighty name of
Jesus Christ, this money charge. I want to speak on
the power of his resurrection, the power of his resurrection,
(01:53):
And I'm just going to take a single verse of
the Bible, this money from the Book of Philippians, Philippians,
chapter three.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
That's ten. There.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
The Bible says that I may know him and the
power of his resurrection and the fellowship of his suffering
being confirmed to his death. Apost Paul, after many years
of working with Jesus, still expresses a deep longing for
(02:32):
a personal, living experience of Christ.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
He says that I may know him.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
After writing books upon books, yet the man says again
that I may know him. What a passionate reflection about
the power of resurrection.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
He says.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
This is not just intellectual it's not about book knowledge, no,
but every relational knowledge, because he has had an encounter,
because he had had an experience and he felt within himself.
Oh no, I have not known enough.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
And for as many.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Who are engaged with reading the Bible every day, you
will agree with me that for every time you go
over the Bible, there's a new revelation that comes to
your mind, and you ask yourself have I gone through
(03:42):
this Bible passage before those who do already a Bible regularly.
We do not understand that you can pick a particular
verse of the Bible. Read it today, read it next Sunday,
read it someday after, read it in the next. Just
(04:03):
keep reading just one single verse. And as you meditate
on that verse of the scripture, there is new revelation
that God brings to your heart. And that's why Paul,
in this text he says that I may know him.
It is not about acknowledge read one hundred memory verses.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
It is not about that.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
It has gone beyond just reading and memorizing. It has
gone to the point of application. He then mentions, and
the power of his resurrection. This is point to something
greater than physical resurrection.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
It is beyond that.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
When Jesus God to the house of Mary and Martha
after four days that your brother had died, and Jesus
told the sisters, you know, I am the resurrection of life.
(05:19):
This your brother will rise again. As far as the
sister was concerned, it's about the future resurrection. But Jesus
is saying right here, resurrection will take place. Our resurrection
took place. There is the resurrection. Now for everyone that
(05:43):
as surrender is our life to Jesus as engaged with sin,
but now a life in Christ. And that is what
is demonstrated when we come to the place of baptism,
and it said that I may know him and the
(06:04):
power of his resurrection. Paul is talking about the spiritual
power that raised Jesus from the dead, which is not
available to every believer. For victory over sin, for fear,
for victory over scein victory over fear, and victory over
(06:28):
spiritual there. And that's why so many times when somebody
says I am a Christian and the person is afreed,
I said, there's something wrong without your faith. When someone
says I am a Christian and the person is still
living in sin, no, there's something wrong with that relationship.
(06:53):
When someone says I am a Christian and the person says, ah,
the devil is in me in the dream, then I
tell you that there is something wrong with your relationship
with Jesus. Because surely he took up our friend families,
he carried our sorrow, yet we considered him stricken by God,
(07:14):
smithing by him, and afflicted. But the Bible says that
by it strives what happened. We are healed and on
the cross. If you miss the Good Friday, that would
not be too good. But on the good Friday we
look at the seven words seven statements of Jesus on
(07:36):
the cross before he gave up, and at the sixth
he said, it is finished, finished, the work of salvation
is done. That is why the Bible says, he's a
man believes in Jesus. It is a new creature the Old.
(07:58):
The Old is God, and everything has become new. But
if the Old is still manifesting, then there is something
wrong without relationship. I like to look at three things
from that verse, and then I'll close. Number one knowing
(08:19):
Christ and the power of his resurrection, what does it mean?
The Bible says in the Book of Philippians, Chapter three,
verse ten, that I may know Him and the power
of his resurrection. This phrase shows us that resurrection power
is not just about life after death. It is about
(08:40):
daily victory. It is about new life in Christ. It
is about spiritual strength. Resurrection is about daily victory. And
that's why Jesus says, if anyone desires to come up
to me, let him deny himself, take up his cross.
(09:03):
Daily and follow me. So the power of resurrection is
evident in our daily living, a victorious life, in the
new life that we have embraced, and spiritual strength that
we have Romance chapter six, four to five. The Bible says,
(09:25):
therefore we were buried within through baptism into death. That
just as Christ was raised from the dead by the
glory of the Father, even so we also should walk
in newness of life. For if we have been united
together in the likeness of his death, certainly we also
(09:48):
shall be in the likeness of His resurrection. And that's
exactly what we display when we come to the moment
of baptism. On Thursday. We were here in the church
demonstrating that which Christ has done, obeying the commandment that
(10:12):
Christ has instructed us. So when someone has surrendered himself
onto God, it is expected that the pressing the baptized,
and that process of baptism is that on the basis
of your confession, you are dipped into the water baptism
(10:34):
by immersion, and then you are lifted up out of it.
You have resurrected with the Lord Jesus Christ. The power
of resurrection Ephicients, Chapter one, nineteen to twenty the Bible says,
and what is the exceeding greatness of its power toward
us who believe according to the working of its mighty power,
(10:57):
which he worked in Christ when he raised him from
the dead and seated in at the right end in
the heavenly places.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Knowing Jesus Church.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Knowing Jesus involves experiencing is power in our daily lives,
power to forgive, power for transformation, power for renewer. That's
what it means to know Jesus. Every thing completely in
(11:37):
our lives showcase the essence of our faith in Jesus Christ.
Number two in that text is that God's love and
the victory of the resurrection. So the love of God
and the victory of the resurrection in that ten Philippians
(12:01):
th return, the Bible passage continues to say that, and
the fellowship of his suffering being confirmed.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
To his death. So upon links the resurrection to the.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Suffering and death of Christ, and is showing us that
the power of God's love is seen or not only
in the empty tomb, but also in the cross.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
So you can see the.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Evidence of the power of God's love right there on
the cross and in the empty tomb. And that is
why today, as Christians, our faith is renewed when we
come to realize our importance, this work, this love that
God has for us. In John three sixteen, for God
(12:52):
soul love the world, It gave its only Begott his son,
that whoever believes in him should not perish, perish, but
have ever as life Romans five eighty, the Bible said,
but God demonstrates it's all love towards us in that
why we were still sinners.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
What happened. Christ died for us.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
So it isn't that we did anything, but the power
of God's love was made manifest right there on the cross,
and even in the empty tomb.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
We can see the power of God shown.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
In First Corinthians, chapter fifteen, fifty five to fifty seven, the.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Bible says, all death, where is your sting?
Speaker 1 (13:36):
Oh? Hey, this this, where is your victory? This thing
of death is seen, and the strength of sin is
the law. But thanks me to God who gives us
the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. The resurrection is
God's loudest message, he says.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
In that resurrection message, he says, I love you, and
I won the battle for you.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
Arly Louis and that is the reason why Jesus on
that cross he said it is finished.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
So as a believer you need not suffer.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Any kind of oppression anymore, because the battle is one.
The battle is one. The battle is one. Lastly, what
should be our response to the power of resurrection? Our
(14:40):
response should be that of faith, that of obedience and
new living.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
In that same verse ten, it.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Says being conformed to his death, being confirmed to his death.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
What does that mean? This means we should die to
self and live for God.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
So if anyone desires to come after Jesus, let him
deny himself, die to self, and alive for God.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
So resurrection power works in those.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Who are willing to follow Jesus through death to self
and rise within in holiness and purpose.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
That's what it takes. Colossians chapter three, Versus one and two.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things
which are above, where.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Christ is sitting at the right end of God.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Set your mind on things above, not on things on earth.
In other words, when a man, when a woman, surrender
to Jesus, your ultimate goal and thinking should be things above.
(16:10):
What are the things that are preoccupying our minds? Are
they evely things or the early things Matthew six thirty three.
The Bible says, but sick first the Kingdom of God
and the righteousness, and all these things shall be herded
onto you, seeking first the.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Kingdom of God. Romance, Chapter twelve, Verse one.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
I beseech you, therefore, brethren, by the message of God,
that you present your bodies a living sacrifice holy acceptable
to God, which is your reasonable service.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
So, as a Christian who has experienced the.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Resurrection, it is important that daily we die to serve.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
And will live for God.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
We live a life of faith. We live a life
of our obedience. We live a life of new newness. Romance,
Chapter eight, verse eleven. The Bible says, but if the
spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells
in you, he who raised Christ from the dead, we
(17:22):
also give life to your motive bodies through his spirit
who dwells in you. What is the point here? The
point here is that we are called to live resurrected lives.
And everyone that is living a resurrected life, you will
see it displayed in their body. You will see it
(17:42):
display in their way of life. You will see it
display in their attitude to life, living a life of faith,
living a life of obedience, and living a life.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Of spiritual power.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
In this passage, passe outcry, let it become our home,
that I may know Him, that I may know Him,
that I may know the power of His resurrection, that
I may may be part of the fellowship of His suffering,
(18:21):
that I may be confirmed.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
To His death.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
That should be our life. This is what full Christian
life is all about. Living a resurrected life, no longer
in life that is under the oppression of sin, knowing Christ,
(18:48):
intimately working in power, submitting daily in obedience and sacrifice
to God. That is when our faith is made complete.
I want to encourage each and every one of us today.
(19:11):
This is a call to irresponsible living. It is a
call to living for Christ, living for God. The Bible
says in Romance chapter ten, verse nine, that if you
confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in
your heart that God has raised Him from the dead,
(19:32):
you will be saved. So the question I have for
each and every one of us today is this, do
you know Jesus personally like Paul desired? Are you working
in the power of His resurrection? Will you allow the
(19:54):
only spirit to bring new life to your soul.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
Today, today.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
You can experience the power of His resurrection, not just
as a doctrine, but as a living reality.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Surrender to Christ.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Receive the power to live a victorious life, to live
a holy life, to live a purposeful life, to live
a surrendered life, to live a resurrected life. There's a
little writing at the back of our program. If you
look at it, there's an invitation there, and its invitation
(20:41):
towards many who are yet to surrender their lives to Jesus.
Don't let this power of resurrection that we are talking
about today be useless over your life.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Dear brothers and sisters.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
Today we sell bread the greatest victory in history, the
resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
He is no longer in the grave. He is alive.
Death could not hold him, the grave could not stop him.
He rose again.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
So that we can have eternal life and a new beginning.
The Bible says in Romans six twenty three, for the
wages of Saying is death, but the gift of God
is eternal life in Christ, Jesus our Lord. Because Jesus
is reason, you don't have to remain in saying, you
don't have to remain in guilt.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
You don't have to remain in fear.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
He paid the price for your sins on the cross
and rose again to give you a new life, in
life of peace, in life of purpose, in life of hope.
This is the Sunday. The reason Savior is calling you.
He is ready to forgive your sins and make you
a child of God. All he asks this morning is
(22:01):
that you believe in him, turn away from your sin,
and invite Him into your heart. The Bible says in
Romans chapter ten, verse nine, if you declare with your
mouth Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that
God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. Please,
(22:26):
you can speak with me immediately after the service if
you are considering dropping that old life tire for the
new one. Trade your sorrow for the power of resurrection.
Trade your pain for the power of resurrection, Trade your
poverty for the power of resurrection. Trade your past for
(22:52):
the power of resurrection. Jesus is calling on you today.
The power of resurrection becomes useless to you because the
message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing.
(23:12):
Are you among those who are perishing. If you're among
those who are perishing, the opportunities yeah for you to
remove yourself from those who are perishing and begin to
see the reality of what God has done for you.
Shall we pray together? What is your life like? Are
(23:51):
you experiencing the power of resurrection? Are you working in
the power of resurrection? If you're not doing this, it
simply means you are year to surrender your.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
Life to Jesus.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
And because of that, you cannot be victorious over flesh overseein.
You cannot live a holy life. You cannot live a
purposeful life. But if you must live a victorious life,
if you must live a holy life, if you must
(24:31):
live a life of purpose, then it is time to
surrender yourself onto Christ so that you may experience the
power of resurrection. Is anyone in the house this morning
wanting to take this step? Jesus is keeping you near
(24:55):
the cross. Is anyone he who is willing to receive
this new life? Jesus says, come onto me. Oh ye
that labor and a heavy leading, and I will give
(25:16):
you rest. Cast your burdens upon the Lord, and it
will save you. Jesus made the seed of your word
that has been sown this morning makes significant impact in
(25:37):
the life of your people. Let ye be an experience
of the power of resurrection in the life of your people.
Thank you, because this seed that has been sown will
germinate and be a much fruit, and this word will
(25:57):
not be against us on the day of judgment. Thank you,
Vicious King of Glory. In Jesus mighty name, we pray Amen.
Lord, we thank you. Lord, will bless you for so
much love you have for us. For the Bible says,
for God so loved the world that he gave this
one and only son, that also ever believe in him
shall not perish, but have it an alive. Thank you
Jesus for giving us this life. Thank you Jesus, because
(00:22):
you said in your word those who have rejected you
are condemned already, but for everyone who believe in You
is saved. Holy Spirit, we are grateful. Thank you for
these wonders that you have wrought in our lives. That Lord,
our faith.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
In you is not in vain. Thank you, Gracious God.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
Lord, open our eyes again as we look at your
word to understand the power of resurrection. Lord, we are grateful.
Thank you, Holy Spirit. In Jesus Mighty name, we pray
congratulations to every one of us, for as many who
(01:08):
as surrender, who have surrendered their lives onto Jesus. I
congratulate you today, because this is a day that every
one of us must celebrate with great assurance that God,
our Father, what he has promised to do through the
(01:30):
coming of Jesus, has actually been done. May his name
be praised forever and ever in the mighty name of
Jesus Christ, this money charge. I want to speak on
the power of his resurrection, the power of his resurrection,
(01:53):
And I'm just going to take a single verse of
the Bible, this money from the Book of Philippians, Philippians,
chapter three.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
That's ten. There.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
The Bible says that I may know him and the
power of his resurrection and the fellowship of his suffering
being confirmed to his death. Apost Paul, after many years
of working with Jesus, still expresses a deep longing for
(02:32):
a personal, living experience of Christ.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
He says that I may know him.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
After writing books upon books, yet the man says again
that I may know him. What a passionate reflection about
the power of resurrection.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
He says.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
This is not just intellectual it's not about book knowledge, no,
but every relational knowledge, because he has had an encounter,
because he had had an experience and he felt within himself.
Oh no, I have not known enough.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
And for as many.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Who are engaged with reading the Bible every day, you
will agree with me that for every time you go
over the Bible, there's a new revelation that comes to
your mind, and you ask yourself have I gone through
(03:42):
this Bible passage before those who do already a Bible regularly.
We do not understand that you can pick a particular
verse of the Bible. Read it today, read it next Sunday,
read it someday after, read it in the next. Just
(04:03):
keep reading just one single verse. And as you meditate
on that verse of the scripture, there is new revelation
that God brings to your heart. And that's why Paul,
in this text he says that I may know him.
It is not about acknowledge read one hundred memory verses.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
It is not about that.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
It has gone beyond just reading and memorizing. It has
gone to the point of application. He then mentions, and
the power of his resurrection. This is point to something
greater than physical resurrection.
Speaker 2 (04:52):
It is beyond that.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
When Jesus God to the house of Mary and Martha
after four days that your brother had died, and Jesus
told the sisters, you know, I am the resurrection of life.
(05:19):
This your brother will rise again. As far as the
sister was concerned, it's about the future resurrection. But Jesus
is saying right here, resurrection will take place. Our resurrection
took place. There is the resurrection. Now for everyone that
(05:43):
as surrender is our life to Jesus as engaged with sin,
but now a life in Christ. And that is what
is demonstrated when we come to the place of baptism,
and it said that I may know him and the
(06:04):
power of his resurrection. Paul is talking about the spiritual
power that raised Jesus from the dead, which is not
available to every believer. For victory over sin, for fear,
for victory over scein victory over fear, and victory over
(06:28):
spiritual there. And that's why so many times when somebody
says I am a Christian and the person is afreed,
I said, there's something wrong without your faith. When someone
says I am a Christian and the person is still
living in sin, no, there's something wrong with that relationship.
(06:53):
When someone says I am a Christian and the person says, ah,
the devil is in me in the dream, then I
tell you that there is something wrong with your relationship
with Jesus. Because surely he took up our friend families,
he carried our sorrow, yet we considered him stricken by God,
(07:14):
smithing by him, and afflicted. But the Bible says that
by it strives what happened. We are healed and on
the cross. If you miss the Good Friday, that would
not be too good. But on the good Friday we
look at the seven words seven statements of Jesus on
(07:36):
the cross before he gave up, and at the sixth
he said, it is finished, finished, the work of salvation
is done. That is why the Bible says, he's a
man believes in Jesus. It is a new creature the Old.
(07:58):
The Old is God, and everything has become new. But
if the Old is still manifesting, then there is something
wrong without relationship. I like to look at three things
from that verse, and then I'll close. Number one knowing
(08:19):
Christ and the power of his resurrection, what does it mean?
The Bible says in the Book of Philippians, Chapter three,
verse ten, that I may know Him and the power
of his resurrection. This phrase shows us that resurrection power
is not just about life after death. It is about
(08:40):
daily victory. It is about new life in Christ. It
is about spiritual strength. Resurrection is about daily victory. And
that's why Jesus says, if anyone desires to come up
to me, let him deny himself, take up his cross.
(09:03):
Daily and follow me. So the power of resurrection is
evident in our daily living, a victorious life, in the
new life that we have embraced, and spiritual strength that
we have Romance chapter six, four to five. The Bible says,
(09:25):
therefore we were buried within through baptism into death. That
just as Christ was raised from the dead by the
glory of the Father, even so we also should walk
in newness of life. For if we have been united
together in the likeness of his death, certainly we also
(09:48):
shall be in the likeness of His resurrection. And that's
exactly what we display when we come to the moment
of baptism. On Thursday. We were here in the church
demonstrating that which Christ has done, obeying the commandment that
(10:12):
Christ has instructed us. So when someone has surrendered himself
onto God, it is expected that the pressing the baptized,
and that process of baptism is that on the basis
of your confession, you are dipped into the water baptism
(10:34):
by immersion, and then you are lifted up out of it.
You have resurrected with the Lord Jesus Christ. The power
of resurrection Ephicients, Chapter one, nineteen to twenty the Bible says,
and what is the exceeding greatness of its power toward
us who believe according to the working of its mighty power,
(10:57):
which he worked in Christ when he raised him from
the dead and seated in at the right end in
the heavenly places.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Knowing Jesus Church.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Knowing Jesus involves experiencing is power in our daily lives,
power to forgive, power for transformation, power for renewer. That's
what it means to know Jesus. Every thing completely in
(11:37):
our lives showcase the essence of our faith in Jesus Christ.
Number two in that text is that God's love and
the victory of the resurrection. So the love of God
and the victory of the resurrection in that ten Philippians
(12:01):
th return, the Bible passage continues to say that, and
the fellowship of his suffering being confirmed.
Speaker 2 (12:09):
To his death. So upon links the resurrection to the.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Suffering and death of Christ, and is showing us that
the power of God's love is seen or not only
in the empty tomb, but also in the cross.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
So you can see the.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Evidence of the power of God's love right there on
the cross and in the empty tomb. And that is
why today, as Christians, our faith is renewed when we
come to realize our importance, this work, this love that
God has for us. In John three sixteen, for God
(12:52):
soul love the world, It gave its only Begott his son,
that whoever believes in him should not perish, perish, but
have ever as life Romans five eighty, the Bible said,
but God demonstrates it's all love towards us in that
why we were still sinners.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
What happened. Christ died for us.
Speaker 1 (13:12):
So it isn't that we did anything, but the power
of God's love was made manifest right there on the cross,
and even in the empty tomb.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
We can see the power of God shown.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
In First Corinthians, chapter fifteen, fifty five to fifty seven, the.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Bible says, all death, where is your sting?
Speaker 1 (13:36):
Oh? Hey, this this, where is your victory? This thing
of death is seen, and the strength of sin is
the law. But thanks me to God who gives us
the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. The resurrection is
God's loudest message, he says.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
In that resurrection message, he says, I love you, and
I won the battle for you.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
Arly Louis and that is the reason why Jesus on
that cross he said it is finished.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
So as a believer you need not suffer.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Any kind of oppression anymore, because the battle is one.
The battle is one. The battle is one. Lastly, what
should be our response to the power of resurrection? Our
(14:40):
response should be that of faith, that of obedience and
new living.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
In that same verse ten, it.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Says being conformed to his death, being confirmed to his death.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
What does that mean? This means we should die to
self and live for God.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
So if anyone desires to come after Jesus, let him
deny himself, die to self, and alive for God.
Speaker 2 (15:12):
So resurrection power works in those.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
Who are willing to follow Jesus through death to self
and rise within in holiness and purpose.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
That's what it takes. Colossians chapter three, Versus one and two.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things
which are above, where.
Speaker 2 (15:41):
Christ is sitting at the right end of God.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Set your mind on things above, not on things on earth.
In other words, when a man, when a woman, surrender
to Jesus, your ultimate goal and thinking should be things above.
(16:10):
What are the things that are preoccupying our minds? Are
they evely things or the early things Matthew six thirty three.
The Bible says, but sick first the Kingdom of God
and the righteousness, and all these things shall be herded
onto you, seeking first the.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
Kingdom of God. Romance, Chapter twelve, Verse one.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
I beseech you, therefore, brethren, by the message of God,
that you present your bodies a living sacrifice holy acceptable
to God, which is your reasonable service.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
So, as a Christian who has experienced the.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Resurrection, it is important that daily we die to serve.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
And will live for God.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
We live a life of faith. We live a life
of our obedience. We live a life of new newness. Romance,
Chapter eight, verse eleven. The Bible says, but if the
spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells
in you, he who raised Christ from the dead, we
(17:22):
also give life to your motive bodies through his spirit
who dwells in you. What is the point here? The
point here is that we are called to live resurrected lives.
And everyone that is living a resurrected life, you will
see it displayed in their body. You will see it
(17:42):
display in their way of life. You will see it
display in their attitude to life, living a life of faith,
living a life of obedience, and living a life.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Of spiritual power.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
In this passage, passe outcry, let it become our home,
that I may know Him, that I may know Him,
that I may know the power of His resurrection, that
I may may be part of the fellowship of His suffering,
(18:21):
that I may be confirmed.
Speaker 2 (18:23):
To His death.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
That should be our life. This is what full Christian
life is all about. Living a resurrected life, no longer
in life that is under the oppression of sin, knowing Christ,
(18:48):
intimately working in power, submitting daily in obedience and sacrifice
to God. That is when our faith is made complete.
I want to encourage each and every one of us today.
(19:11):
This is a call to irresponsible living. It is a
call to living for Christ, living for God. The Bible
says in Romance chapter ten, verse nine, that if you
confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in
your heart that God has raised Him from the dead,
(19:32):
you will be saved. So the question I have for
each and every one of us today is this, do
you know Jesus personally like Paul desired? Are you working
in the power of His resurrection? Will you allow the
(19:54):
only spirit to bring new life to your soul.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
Today, today.
Speaker 1 (20:02):
You can experience the power of His resurrection, not just
as a doctrine, but as a living reality.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
Surrender to Christ.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Receive the power to live a victorious life, to live
a holy life, to live a purposeful life, to live
a surrendered life, to live a resurrected life. There's a
little writing at the back of our program. If you
look at it, there's an invitation there, and its invitation
(20:41):
towards many who are yet to surrender their lives to Jesus.
Don't let this power of resurrection that we are talking
about today be useless over your life.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
Dear brothers and sisters.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
Today we sell bread the greatest victory in history, the
resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Speaker 2 (21:05):
He is no longer in the grave. He is alive.
Death could not hold him, the grave could not stop him.
He rose again.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
So that we can have eternal life and a new beginning.
The Bible says in Romans six twenty three, for the
wages of Saying is death, but the gift of God
is eternal life in Christ, Jesus our Lord. Because Jesus
is reason, you don't have to remain in saying, you
don't have to remain in guilt.
Speaker 2 (21:34):
You don't have to remain in fear.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
He paid the price for your sins on the cross
and rose again to give you a new life, in
life of peace, in life of purpose, in life of hope.
This is the Sunday. The reason Savior is calling you.
He is ready to forgive your sins and make you
a child of God. All he asks this morning is
(22:01):
that you believe in him, turn away from your sin,
and invite Him into your heart. The Bible says in
Romans chapter ten, verse nine, if you declare with your
mouth Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that
God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. Please,
(22:26):
you can speak with me immediately after the service if
you are considering dropping that old life tire for the
new one. Trade your sorrow for the power of resurrection.
Trade your pain for the power of resurrection, Trade your
poverty for the power of resurrection. Trade your past for
(22:52):
the power of resurrection. Jesus is calling on you today.
The power of resurrection becomes useless to you because the
message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing.
(23:12):
Are you among those who are perishing. If you're among
those who are perishing, the opportunities yeah for you to
remove yourself from those who are perishing and begin to
see the reality of what God has done for you.
Shall we pray together? What is your life like? Are
(23:51):
you experiencing the power of resurrection? Are you working in
the power of resurrection? If you're not doing this, it
simply means you are year to surrender your.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
Life to Jesus.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
And because of that, you cannot be victorious over flesh overseein.
You cannot live a holy life. You cannot live a
purposeful life. But if you must live a victorious life,
if you must live a holy life, if you must
(24:31):
live a life of purpose, then it is time to
surrender yourself onto Christ so that you may experience the
power of resurrection. Is anyone in the house this morning
wanting to take this step? Jesus is keeping you near
(24:55):
the cross. Is anyone he who is willing to receive
this new life? Jesus says, come onto me. Oh ye
that labor and a heavy leading, and I will give
(25:16):
you rest. Cast your burdens upon the Lord, and it
will save you. Jesus made the seed of your word
that has been sown this morning makes significant impact in
(25:37):
the life of your people. Let ye be an experience
of the power of resurrection in the life of your people.
Thank you, because this seed that has been sown will
germinate and be a much fruit, and this word will
(25:57):
not be against us on the day of judgment. Thank you,
Vicious King of Glory. In Jesus mighty name, we pray Amen.
