guy woman? It has changed the world? Has it changed me? Guy
-
b woman? And you're asking if you're visiting us for the first time,
-
you were asking, how can the resurrection of Jesus change me? Yes that
-
one' yes THEO. Well, today I will try to explain and I want
-
God to do the rest. Think you know who's answered. God will show
-
up and show off the same power that conquered the grave. We'll be here
-
today. Should that I don't modern and will speak to you personally. Its
-
going to show hard, all right. So there are only three points today,
-
and let me go straight up to the first point. So the first
-
point, because he lives I can face tomorrow? What can you mean?
-
I mean? So what is tomorrow? A man? First of April?
-
How how many of y'all are ready to face first of April? Your okay?
-
If some of you all are excited because it's April fools, right looking
-
man, this is the day I've been waiting for the whole life. What
-
y I hope your prank doesn't fall flat? What's apparently? First of all?
-
Who is should by? Right? But what I want to bring across
-
is because he lives, I can face tomorrow? Because what can you mean?
-
Do I intian? And why? This is taken from a popular songka,
-
but what causes us to be afraid to face tomorrow? Because high pame?
-
We have may have had bad experiences, yes you woman the thing lead.
-
We may have done regretful things, Yes you woman to all aroundmans,
-
this is your whole way the ship. We may have harmed people, Oh
-
yes, you shang highlighted and we couldn't. We sometimes just want to climb
-
into bed and said I do not want to wake up. Yes, push
-
an, you heard the testimony of and just now and attention, let's give
-
it up for all those that share your testimony and then thank you Janni's and
-
and Machen for sharing your testimony. Janny is how your man. It took
-
a lot of guts, but they're doing it to glorify God because and just
-
as Anne was sharing her testimony and some of us maybe going through the same
-
thing is I am tired. I want to give up your fun tea.
-
The world will be a better place without me to we can help. And
-
because of that we can't face tomorrow. But because he lives, because in
-
way, watch, I can face tomorrow. Come on, Church, declare
-
it. I can face Tomorrowian, let's see what the scripture has to say
-
about it. I can't think sure, so he sayasier. When we were
-
utterly helpless from Romans five, Christ came at just the right time and died
-
for us sinners. Way woman's now, most people would not be willing to
-
die for an upright person, though someone might perhaps be willing to die for
-
a person who is especially good. Way, but God, he has shown
-
his great love for us because by sending Christ had your type alogy to die
-
for us while we were still sinners. Immense immen. It starts off when
-
we were utterly hopeless, that we do not need to come to God complete.
-
We come to God as we are. God will do the rest.
-
I amen a man right. And the second Scripture the ding one Romans,
-
eight romans, so the pater. So now there is therefore no condemnation.
-
So and I see it into it for those who belong to Christ. Jesus,
-
yes too, into it. And because you belong to him. So
-
in woman, the power of the living giving spirit the lead has freed you
-
from the power of sin, the world that leads to death, to lead
-
church because he lives in wager, I can face tomorrow. But some of
-
us done. So maybe we still do not fully appreciate one one change and
-
she can't. How Jesus death and resurrection. Yes, the my young woman
-
could wipe away out since my young and go see So let me tell you
-
a story. So I think it was about two years ago that guy lan
-
Ancient. I was driving to send my kid to school. And as I
-
was driving send my kid to school, then I called my mom. That
-
was what you don't get with the mama, And I was talking to her,
-
what are you gonna show? As I took the turn that one guess
-
what that was a roadblock to to you things lou tang. Okay, how
-
many of y'all thought I was using hand free? Your male your mails yo,
-
me and Tina. Okay, y'all got more faith in me then your
-
bill you're seeing sing? Okay, I was not using hands free yo,
-

-
I have to pay a fine. Just how about what your I was ready
-
to pay the fine. So the police guy, wait what wonder? They
-
went down my window, the traumer and then he he just gave me the
-
summon. Did you get a tan? So? I said, prop you
-
need con caught? Yeah? Fighting. I was like, go to car,
-

-
okay? So what to do? So? You know? So when I
-
went home, I decided to tell my kids about it. What you think
-
your over the heights? Because I wanted to show them no one is above
-
the law. Can you tell you their far leader? Your dad made mistakes,
-
the footing, found thetrore and now he has to go to court farting.
-
So I like played it outlast? What you what you like? I
-
said, y'all have to take care of your mommy. What you're gonna have
-
a Yeah you can. If the judge there's not father me, you're gonna
-
go. So up till the day I went to the cart so far in
-
the nineteen so they prayed for me. You know what to do with what
-
they prayed for me? I didn't even have to ask them. I won't
-
have me after when I went to court on that day that were nineteen fenhol
-
So when you stepped into court, that that's when it got real. Now
-
so must man, this is not funny anymore. The house shelm okay.
-
So I stepped into court that was it was a fat and there was a
-
lot of people there that so your daughtern somewhere in handcuffs. You're the big
-
counter. So cut someone not you say the male. Some looked like they
-
deserved to be in jail, you say country in Kayoshi there were people like
-
me. Yeah. Yeah, So when I appeared before the jante so like
-
that on the maintain ashole, the policeman just said, just plead guilty.
-
Thing has a children to it, bar okay, It didn't. It didn't
-
matter that I had bought three Bluetooth headsets, one in my car, one
-
in my back, one in my pocket. Every year too. Yes,
-
But when I was facing the judge, all I could do was splead guilty.
-
What's in a no excuses nothing I had done after the sin? What
-
I took a fun even matter I was guilty as charge? What timessephanner and
-
the judge okay, guess what good news. I'm not in jail. So
-
the judge gave me a fine of two hundred ring your father lamp, and
-
I thank God and I went on my way. Two guys, mad Kyler.
-
But what I want to bring across because run in to ship, is
-
that there is no such thing as big sin or small sin. Were running
-
when we are standing before God, and God asked us, how do we
-
plead? So we plead guilty. My inure sooner run to no matter how
-
much of good work that we do. Poo one woman, tomato house,
-
sh you help the lady cross the street, depend wipe your sin to No
-
one in the cord could wipe my scene away way sitting on the toy,
-
For all have sinned and fall shot of the glory of May. And that
-
is why Jesus had to die for our sin. Such just a wish.
-
Yes you sure way, woman, So if you go to the next verse
-
got in one. If you think my sin is small, you're going to
-
other. It's sure. The wages of sin is death, but the free
-
gift of God is eternal life through Christ. Jesus, our Lord's a woman
-
to yes, so church, all of us need Jesus. So it's a
-
Roman maker. And there is nothing that we can do on our own to
-
wipe away our sins. But by his tribes we are made whole. Because
-
a woman you want amen, So because he lives, I can face tomorrows.
-
In next point, because he lives in all fear is gone. Show
-
you the in celsiu imen man. So what does scriptures say about this?
-
Nading you? Samana? In John fourteen, So you haven't fusan, He
-
says, I am telling you these things now while I am with you.
-
But when the Father sends the Advocate as my representative, that is the Holy
-
Spirit, he will teach you everything and will remind you of everything I have
-
told you. I am leaving with you a gift peace of mind and heart.
-
And the piece I give is a gift the world cannot give. So
-
don't be troubled. Are afraid? There? You have ways? That was
-
a sure n b who just a fool in ward? Th mean, so
-
you're tielight the shindling surnayman being here your so so that well, Lucia ping
-
and gannymen what then what the pink answer? Gyman? What's to to them?
-
Singly yotel? Amen? Amen? And today thinking today we are talking
-
about today right, there are a lot of fear that we are going through
-
a lot of fear. Some of us might be going through the fear of
-
financial difficulty it's high powders to some of us might be going through the fear
-
of health issues the didn't didn't kind of. Some of us may be going
-
to the fear of just uh depression. You say, k there is a
-
lot of fear that is stopping us from doing what we need to do today.
-
Do to the woman tinting in kay. But God says, because he
-
lives, all fear is gone. So in show the knel and Jesus even
-
prophesied before he left. He said, if you receive me, I will
-
give you peace of mind and heart. Yes, what you li and gainyman?
-
So Christians, I'm talking to you right now. Agon is so hot.
-
Do we have piece of heart and mind? Monosian singing, your pink
-
anna, do we really believe in the resurrection of Jesus siancing yes, the
-
food horner, because if we do, we will have piece of the hermanation
-
singing, so your pink anna. Reading from Second Corinthians twelve, machan go
-
into a hole shoot earth. This is from Paul, just about loss or
-
shorder. Three different times I beg the Lord to take it away, sansance,
-
you'll go to Yoian to the silik kaiwal. Each time he said,
-
my grace is all you need. My power works best in weakness. How
-
do you show the anti going young? Then a Lisa, I run around
-
Rod Sanci and the one chin. So now I am glad to boast about
-
my weaknesses. So you're you are quite the round raw, so that the
-
power of Christ can work through me. Tell who be well, that's why
-
I take pleasure in my weaknesses. So you will wait, do you run
-
raw in the insults, in the hardships, in the persecutions, and in
-
the troubles that I suffer for Christ? Telling lu that po poor quo unquo
-
way Curtsey leader, when I am weak, it was so much the whole
-
run raw then I am strong so much can Chandler. Because when we are
-
weak and we surrender ourselves to God Rod as a home and whole, God
-
takes over churn your life. So what is actually fear? So conscious fear
-
is when we have a lack of something conju cheer. Most don't see that.
-
We have a lack of courage, mature lack of money, a mature
-
lack of health, mature FARTI and can lack of wisdom mature the way,
-
lack of favor, cheer and tong. But and ultimately it is actually a
-
lack of control. Jesus cheer. But God says, so sure, give
-
me control. Surrender yourself to me. N So if you want to be
-
free of fear, surrender yourself to Jesus y. And then when I am
-
weak, I will be strong in Him halim man amen. And from first
-
John four you have you have issue this, Susan. We know how much
-
God loves us, eye woman, we have put our trust in His love.
-
Sink O the eye. God is love, and all who live in
-
love live in God, and God lives in them. And as we live
-
in God, our love grows more perfect. So we will not be afraid
-
on the day of judgment Hipala. But we can face him with confidence because
-
we live like Jesus here in this world. And yes and verse eighteen.
-
Such love has no fear aili map because perfect love expels all fear. I
-
in your path this morning, do we have a perfect love for Jesus?
-
Usually make your male one cha eye. Is it a love of convenience sweeping
-
ima? Or it is a love of surrender show for the eye. Because
-
just as my son he when he comes to me that he can't open a
-
jar of jam jam, he doesn't just say I want to give up on
-
life. Come, so what your fund? He was a shimmer he says,
-
Daddy, can you help me? Has a futinica about that kaima he
-
sees, he knows. He submits himself as a father somewhere the food chain
-
and in my strength that was lily mean he is made strong ta and he
-
can eat jam yan. So church this morning calls he lives in all fear.
-
Is man a man and the last point. And because he lives in
-
wait, I know he holds my future. What's the way? Lie?
-
So God will take care of our past. So woman, he will take
-
care of our present. Can't go woman, THI and he will definitely take
-
care of our future. Can't go woman the way lie so Jeremiah twenty nine
-
eleven. Yelemmy, shoot for I know the plans I have for you,
-
says the Lord. So why the Indian. They are plans for good and
-
not for disaster ping and the Indian the union to give you a future and
-
a hope. Ye. So first point right in future, God has a
-
good plan for us. So the way you have to believe that, sunny,
-
all right, He has a good plan. Time. Next, woman
-
you're trying to meet thirty one, say be strong and of good courage.
-
Do not fear, not be afraid of them. We are hyper. We
-
are come for the Lord your God, in which he is the one who
-
goes with you, Tappy, honey. He will not leave you nor forsake
-
you, kapy. So God has a good plan and he will go with
-
you. And let's see the third verse Anti one Isaiah forty three is this
-
tandang, do not be afraid, for I have ransomed you don't think God
-
or be in it? HOWNTI I have called you by name you are mine?
-
Means need just shoe you that when you go through deep waters, I
-
will be with you. Don't think you need TONI. When you go through
-
the rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. Danny tank people man,
-
when you walk through the fire of oppression, you will not be burned up.
-
Don't single people pay saw. The flames will not consume you. Put
-
shan so, because he lives in I know he holds my future. God
-
has a good plan how you're gonna the team. He will go with me
-
and I will not be burnt or consumed by the trials that I go through
-
because He's with me. A bit shu So church this morning, has the
-
resurrection of Jesus changed you? Yes? Should the fool who your ma?
-
I wanted to change me? Well your wal and even as I just draw
-

-
it's picturesque picture. It's a nice picture. It's by the beach, made
-
just called your hypien. It's calm face painting, all right. How many
-
of us want to be by the beach. But for me, what I
-
saw this was one of the most terrifying experiences that I had in my life,
-
just astingly, and I want to share that because he lives first,
-
all fear is gone. Man. So last year, my family and I
-
we went for a holiday in Tyoman. It was a good holiday that it
-
was quite empty. So actually because we went during raya nasur so, the
-
beach was empty, c was empty, hotel was empty. That's yur so

travel trip can travel rya oy yo yao chi mann is singing in the socio.

But on the last day, because we went down to have breakfast,
-
chillun so we're having breakfast and then my son said that hey here he had
-
done with his breakfast. He says that I want to go and check out
-
the movie screening in the hotel. So actually, can't you? Then the
-
so I said, okay, fine, just go and come back chia.

the middle of the sea. Because hey, hey, hey, I think
