Resurrection Life

For hearing your word.

Thank you Lord, that he's faithful in seeking your face

Lord and hearing from you Lord, that he can bring

your dreamer word to us when he speaks. So, Father God,

may every word that utters that Simon artis be from

your throne of grace.

Lord.

May it speak to our hearts by the power of

your Holy spirit. Lord, And may we leave this place

changed because we have heard your word. Jesus, Amen, thank.

You, I forgot all.

Thank you, sorry Schola. Right, small humans are off with.

Shoulder to have a good time celebrating God on a

smaller scale.

We pray for them.

Thank you Shouler so much.

Children be blessed, have a great time. In Jesus' namemen,

Good morning. Well o this bit we do welcome this morning.

Please take my words and implant them in the good

ground of people's hearts today in Jesus name, welcome you.

So I was just praying about what to share today.

The title of Lord gave him his resurrection life. Life

was in capitals, not because I can't spell, but because

that's what he wanted to emphasize. So today's palm Sunday

next Friday is good Friday. Next Sunday is Easter Sunday.

Key a.

Key dates in the Christian calendar, and the Lord wants

us to recognizes the key dates. They happened once so

that we could live life to the full till it overflows. Okay,

that resurrection life to the full till it overflows. So

today we're going to talk about resurrection life. That's how

it goes. But it's to the full till it overflows. Yes,

Jesus died a horrible death, Yes he rose again, but

yes he wants us to live a victorious resurrection life.

It's no point doing groundhog Day, doing groundhog Day and

just repeating an event. Jesus wants us to live the

life which he bought for us to live. Yeah. Anyway,

Romans five and verse e says, but God demonstrated his

own love towards us in that while we were still sinners,

Christ died for us. Yeah, while we're still sinners, Christ dies.

We know this. These are foundational scriptures to get where

I want to get to, So don't switch off. Please.

The life we have is because of the love of God.

Yeah.

God so loved the world that he gave his only son.

Who ever believes in him shall not perish, but have

everlasting life. Paul wrote in Romans six. What shall we say, then,

shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? Certainly

not how shall we who died to sin living any longer?

Or do you not know that as many as us

were baptized into Christ, Jeesus were baptized into his death. Therefore,

who were buried in him and threw 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 the newness of life. Before we have been

united together in the likeness of his death, certainly we

also shall be in the lightning of His resurrection. So

I when I talk about the newness that comes and

the newness that manifests in our lives, when some days

when somebody goes from death to life, there's usually a

happy period, and then there can be a what am

I going to do next? Period? Before people find what

they're spposed to do, how they connect, and that depends

how the local church supports a believer. But he wants

us to live in the newness of life. Let is

let us hold this boy just had a baby. H

you won't a colored baby, Raphael. There's newness of life

in that family. Things have changed, things have changed forever

for him, his life will not be the same again.

When Jesus comes into our life, things have changed forever.

Life will never be the same again. And God wants

us to live in that newness of life every day.

If you've been, if you had a relationship with God

for twenty years, that life needs to be as it

was at the beginning. Yeah, new, fresh, flowing. He doesn't

want us to stagnate. Yeah, it's not part of my

sermon as all this. I didn't write this down. He

doesn't want us to stagnate. When the pond stagnates without

the water flowing through it, it becomes green and the

alga forms on it, and there's no life in that pond.

When the water flows, there's life. He wants the life

that he has put inside us to flow. Yeah. Two

Korenthans five seven, fast upon the screen earlier. Therefore, if

anyone is in Christ is a new creation, new creature,

new creation. All things have passed away. Behold, all things

have become new. Yeah, that just sums up what I've said.

Ephesians two eight to nine puts it this way, for

by grace we have been saved through faith, and not

of ourselves or yourselves. It's the gift of God, not

of works. Any man should boast, lest any man should boast.

What God does in our lives is individual for us.

We're all different people, and we all manifest the priens

of God differently through our lives. So here's a question,

as believers, how do we measure success in the world.

Some people measure success by the amount of money they earn,

the car they drive, where they live, where they go

on holiday. These are how people measure success in the world.

There's nothing wrong with those things. As a believe of God,

bless her that way, great because she can bless somebody

else with that too. But in the Kingdom of God,

those aren't measures of success. So Hebrews twelve, verse one

is not in the preach. Therefore we also, since we

are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let

us lay aside every weight and the sin which so

easily stares us, and let us run with endurance the

race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the

author and the finisher of our faith, who for the

joy that is set before him, endured the cross, despised

the shame, and sat down at the right hand of

the throne of God. The measured of success is to

run the race with endurance. That's the race that God

has set
