25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, 26 and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?”
HAVE YOU EVER SMELT SOMETHING DEAD AND ROTTING?
A LOT OF WIVES ARE THINKING....
YES.....EVERYDAY WHEN MY HUSBAND COMES OUT OF THE BATHROOM
IT’S TERRIBLE…..THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING INSIDE HIM THAT IS DEAD.....LOL
AND ALL THE MEN ARE SMILING AND SHAKING THEIR HEADS.....
LIKE IT’S A BADGE OF HONOR.....LOL
I USE TO DO PEST CONTROL.....
WE WOULD ALSO DO DEAD ANIMAL REMOVAL
I REMEMBER GOING TO THIS ONE HOUSE
AND THE SMELL WHEN YOU WALKED INTO THIS ONE ROOM WAS HORRID
IT WAS THE MIDDLE OF SUMMER
SO NATURALLY WHEN THE TEMPERATURE WAS HOT
THE SMELL WAS AT ITS WORST
WE LOOKED AND COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING
SO WE PUT OUT SOME ODOR BAGS
AND IT WOULD MAKE THE SMELL MORE FAINT FOR AWHILE
WE ALL KNOW THAT SPRAYING FEBREEZE OR LIGHTING CANDLES...
ONLY MAKES IT SMELL LIKE PERFUME SCENTED DEATH…LOL
LADIES….CAN I GET AMEN
SO ANYWAYS WE WENT BACK TO THIS HOUSE LIKE 3 TIMES AND FINALLY
WE WENT TO THE ATTIC AND WE ACTUALLY STARTED PULLING UP FLOOR BOARDS
AND SURE ENOUGH
WE FOUND A DEAD AND ROTTING POSSUM...
I LITERALLY FELT SICK THE REST OF THE DAY....
APPARENTLY THEY HAD THE HOUSE TENTED ABOUT A MONTH EARLIER
AND SOMEHOW A POSSUM HAD CLIMBED UP IN THE ATTIC AND DIED
SO WE REMOVED THE DEAD POSSUM AND NEVER HEARD FROM THE OWNERS AGAIN
THE REASON I’M TELLING YOU THIS STORY IS BECAUSE...
WHEN THE BIBLE TALKS ABOUT THE STATE OF OUR SOULS OUTSIDE OF...... AN INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD THROUGH JESUS
WHEN THE BIBLE TALKS ABOUT OUR SOULS OUTSIDE OF THIS KIND OF RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD
IT USES THIS KIND OF LANGUAGE AND IMAGERY
THAT WE ARE DEAD
THAT WE HAVE A STENCH TO US WHETHER WE KNOW IT OR NOT
I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT THIS ILLUSTRATION WORKS REALLY WELL BECAUSE...
WHEN THINGS GET HOT FOR YOU.....ITS THEN, THAT YOU REALIZE THAT DEATH IS AT WORK
OH COME ON SOMEBODY
MOST OF THE TIME WE ARE TOO BUSY TO RECOGNIZE THAT DEATH IS AT WORK
BUT WHEN IT GETS HOT ENOUGH
WE CAN REALIZE....OH MAN...
SOMETHING REALLY STINKS HERE
SO LET ME SHOW YOU THIS, THIS MORNING...
Ephesians 2:1–3 (ESV)
1 And you were dead in the trespasses and sins 2 in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience— 3 among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind.
I LOVE THIS PASSAGE BECAUSE IT’S THE GREAT EQUALIZER
WHAT IT MEANS IS THIS...
PAUL IS MAKING THE ARGUMENT THAT REGARDLESS OF YOUR BACKGROUND
REGARDLESS OF YOUR PRESENT REALITY
WE ALL FIND OURSELVES RIGHT THERE IN THE SAME PLACE
DEAD IN OUR TRESPASSES AND SINS
ONE OF THE THINGS I’VE LEARNED IN MY YEARS OF MINISTRY IS THIS....
SOME PEOPLE REBEL AGAINST GOD WITH WILD LIVING
AND DELIBERATE DISOBEDIENCE
OTHER PEOPLE REBEL AGAINST GOD BY....
TRYING TO BE GOOD ENOUGH SO THAT NOW....GOD OWES THEM
LIKE, SOME PEOPLE TRY TO REBEL AGAINST GOD WITH CHURCH......
WAIT WHAT??? ISN’T THAT CRAZY?
THEY WILL BE GOOD ENOUGH AND DO EVERYTHING THEY CAN
TO SOMEHOW PUT GOD IN THEIR DEBT
BUT WHAT THIS SCRIPTURE IS SAYING IS...
IT DOESN’T MATTER WHAT YOUR BACKGROUND IS
DOESN’T MATTER IF YOUR MOM GAVE BIRTH TO YOU ON THE ALTAR
AND THE PASTOR SMACKED YOUR BOTTOM
AND THE FIRST WORDS FROM YOUR MOUTH WERE....JESUS
AND THEY JUST BAPTIZED YOU RIGHT THERE
GUESS WHAT…YOUR IN THIS TEXT
OR
MAYBE THE OPPOSITE WAS TRUE...
YOUR MOM GAVE BIRTH TO YOU BAR
AND YOU WENT HARD...
YOU WENT HARD EARLY AND OFTEN
AND YOU HAVE A PAST THAT WOULD MAKE THE DEVIL BLUSH
GUESS WHAT???
YOU IN THIS SCRIPTURE TOO
THIS SCRIPTURE CALLS THE SINNER UP
AND PRESSES THE SELF-RIGHTEOUS DOWN
AND IT SAYS....THE GROUND IS LEVEL AT THE FOOT OF THE CROSS
AND SO...
HE MAKES THE ARGUMENT...
“YOU WERE DEAD IN YOUR TRESPASSES AND SINS”
“YOU FOLLOWED THE PRINCE OF THE POWER OF THE AIR, THE SPIRIT THAT IS AT WORK IN THE SONS OF DISOBEDIENCE”
ALL OF US, GAVE INTO OUR COMPULSIONS
GAVE INTO OUR APPETITES
DIDN’T SUBMIT OURSELVES TO THE CREATOR, GOD
AND WE FELT LIKE WE WOULD MAKE A BETTER GOD THEN GOD HIMSELF
NOBODY IMMUNE
NOBODY INNOCENT
ALL OF US…HAVE SINNED AND FALLEN SHORT OF THE GLORY OF GOD
12 Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned—
DO YOU HEAR IT???
OUTSIDE OF AN INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD THROUGH JESUS
OUR SOUL IS SEEN IN THE SPIRITUAL REALM AS DEAD
AND DEATH LEADS TO DECAY AND DECAY....STINKS
23 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
AGAIN, IT’S THIS THEME THAT...
OUTSIDE OF SUBMISSION TO THE CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE
DEATH IS AT WORK IN US
WOW.....
WHY I LOVE THIS PASSAGE TODAY IS...
IT STEPS IN AS THE SOLUTION TO THIS DEATH
LET ME SET UP THIS STORY FOR YOU TODAY.....IT’S IN THE GOSPEL OF JOHN
IT’S ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUS STORIES IN THE NEW TESTAMENT
YOU MAY NOT EVEN HAVE A CHURCH BACKGROUND
AND YOU MAY KNOW THIS STORY
IT’S THE RAISING OF LAZARUS FROM THE DEAD
SO....THERE IS THIS FAMILY THAT JESUS IS REALLY CLOSE WITH
MARY, MARTHA, AND THEIR BROTHER LAZARUS
YOU WILL NOT FIND A GREATER DIFFERENCE IN CHILDREN THAN THESE 3 RIGHT HERE
MARTHA IS KINDA OF TYPE A PERSONALITY
SHE IS ALWAYS DOWN TO FIGHT
SHE WANTS TO “TALK ABOUT IT” IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN
MARY....IS MEEK AND QUIET AND WANT TO LET THINGS WORK THEMSELVES OUT
MARY WANTS TO AVOID CONFLICT AT ALL COST
WE DON’T KNOW MUCH ABOUT LAZARUS OTHER THAN...
HE GETS SICK AND MARY AND MARTHA SEND A RUNNER TO JESUS
WHO IS ABOUT TWO DAYS AWAY DOING MINISTRY
AND THE LETTER SAYS....
HEY, LAZARUS IS REALLY SICK AND HE’S NOT DOING WELL
HE’S NOT GOING TO MAKE IT
JESUS WE NEED TO COME
WOULD YOU COME AND HEAL THIS MAN WHO YOU LOVE
JESUS SAYS....YES I’LL COME
AND THEN SCRIPTURE TELLS US...
THAT HE STAYS TWO MORE DAYS DOING MINISTRY
HE DOESN’T DROP EVERYTHING TO GO AND HEAL LAZARUS
HE ACTUALLY STAYS AND FINISHES WHAT HE IS DOING
NO URGENCY ON HIS PART
THEN HE GOES TO BETHANY WHERE LAZARUS IS
AND WE SEE THAT LAZARUS HAS DIED
HE ACTUALLY DIED RIGHT AFTER THEY HAD ASKED JESUS TO COME
SO AT THIS POINT LAZARUS HAS BEEN IN THE GRAVE FOR FOUR DAYS
THEY ARE MOURNING AND WAILING
AND IT’S A TERRIBLE AND SAD TIME FOR THE FAMILY
AND THEY HEAR THAT JESUS IS ON HIS WAY
AND GUESS WHAT.....
MARTHA HAS GOT SOME THINGS TO SAY
SO MARTHA BEELINES OUTSIDE TO FIND JESUS
SHE SAYS....
HAD YOU BEEN HERE, LAZARUS WOULD NOT HAVE DIED
IF YOU WOULD HAVE HURRIED AND GOT HERE
YOU COULD HAVE HEALED HIM AND OUR BROTHER WOULD STILL BE HERE
WHERE WERE YOU, WHAT IN THE WORLD JESUS?
AND JESUS ASKS HER....
“DO YOU BELIEVE”?
DO YOU BELIEVE THAT I CAN RESURRECT HIM FROM THE GRAVE?
AND MARTHA SAYS....”I KNOW THAT ON THE LAST DAY YOU WILL RAISE HIM FROM THE DEAD”
AND JESUS RESPONDS LIKE THIS....
25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, 26 and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?”
HER RESPONSE IS....
YES LORD I DO
SO HERE IS WHAT’S HAPPENING....
JESUS IS TRYING TO REORIENT MARTHA’S THINKING
FROM A ETHEREAL FUTURE EVENT
TO A PRESENT REALITY
IS EVERYONE FOLLOWING ME ON THAT?
JESUS DIDN’T SAY...
MARTHA, DON’T YOU BELIEVE IN HEAVEN
DON’T YOU BELIEVE LAZARUS IS IN A BETTER PLACE?
THAT IS NOT WHAT HE SAYS
HE IS TRYING TO COMPLETELY REORIENT HER THINKING
HE’S NOT SAYING THAT ONE DAY YOU WILL BE MADE NEW
ONE DAY YOU WILL BE RESURRECTED
HE IS SAYING....
I AM THE RESURRECTION
HE IS SAYING THAT RESURRECTION IS HERE NOW
HE’S NOT ASKING DO YOU BELIEVE THAT I CAN RAISE LAZARUS FORM THE GRAVE?
HE’S NOT ASKING DO YOU THINK YOUR GONNA END UP IN HEAVEN WITH ALL YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS
THAT IS NOT THE QUESTION
HE IS SAYING....
I AM THE RESURRECTION AND THERE IS NO RESURRECTION OUTSIDE OF ME
BOTH PHYSICAL AND SPIRITUAL
OH COME ON SOMEBODY.....
THIS IS PHYSICAL IN THAT THERE WILL BE A PHYSICAL RESURRECTION
I DON’T KNOW YOUR BACKGROUND IN CHURCH
I DON’T KNOW HOW MUCH OF YOUR THEOLOGY HAS BEEN SHAPED BY CARTOONS
BUT YOUR FUTURE IS NOT ANGELS WINGS AND A HARP SITTING ON CLOUDS SOMEWHERE
IF THAT’S IT.....I DON’T WANT IT
THE BIBLE SPEAKS OF A TRUE RESURRECTION
A PHYSICAL RESURRECTION IN A PHYSICALLY REMADE HEAVEN AND EARTH
WHERE DEATH AND DECAY IS GONE
YOUR NOT GOING TO JUST BE THIS SPIRIT FLOATING AROUND
JESUS IS POINTING TO A PHYSICAL AND LITERAL RESURRECTION
BUT HE IS OFFERING RESURRECTION RIGHT NOW
HE SAYS.....MARTHA
I AM THE RESURRECTION RIGHT NOW
YES, ALL THINGS WILL BE MADE NEW
YES, PHYSICAL AND LITERAL RESURRECTION WILL TAKE PLACE
BUT I AM HERE RIGHT NOW
THE DEATH AND DECAY THAT SIN HAS BROUGHT INTO YOUR LIFE
I CAN RESURRECT YOU FROM THAT DEATH....RIGHT NOW
I AM THAT RESURRECTION
HE GOES ON TO ARGUE THAT HE IS NOT JUST RESURRECTION
BUT HE IS LIFE
OH MY LORD....
UNDERSTAND THIS....
WHEN JESUS CAME
HE DIDN’T JUST COME WITH COMMANDMENTS
BUT HE CAME WITH…LIFE
MEANING IF YOU WANT LIFE.....
HOW IT WAS DESIGNED BY IT’S CREATOR
YOU WILL ONLY FIND THAT IN JESUS
I HAVE A CUSTOMER AND ON A FEW OCCASIONS SHE HAS MADE MENTION OF HER BELIEF IN A HIGHER POWER…WHATEVER THAT MAY BE
- SHE SAID…HIM OR HER…WHATEVER
(EXPOUND)
THIS LAST WEEK SHE OPENED UP MORE....(EXPLAIN)
- AND I TOLD HER THIS....SEEK FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS AND EVERYTHING THAT YOU NEED
- EVERYTHING THAT YOUR LONGING FOR
- IT WILL BE ADDED TO YOU
- I WOULD SAY THAT HER BELIEF IN A HIGHER POWER IS THERE HOWEVER...
- SHE DOESN’T KNOW JESUS.....YET
- SO BE PRAYING FOR HER AND ME FOR GOD TO KEEP THAT DOOR OPEN
(EXPOUND ON THIS SCRIPTURE)
16 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
THERE IS SOMETHING GREATER....A LEVEL OF JOY AND GLADNESS AND PEACE THAT IS AVAILABLE TO THE SAINTS
TO THOSE WHO WILL ACCEPT AND BELIEVE IN JESUS CHRIST
THAT WILL NEVER BE ENJOYED BY THOSE OUTSIDE OF HIS KINGDOM
10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.
DO YOU HEAR IT???
LIFE ABUNDANTLY
HE’S SAYING…I DIDN’T COME TO CONDEMN YOU
I CAME TO LEAD YOU INTO THE FULLNESS OF LIFE
DAVID SAID IT THIS WAY.....
11 You make known to me the path of life;
in your presence there is fullness of joy;
at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
WOW…ISN’T THAT GOOD
JESUS IS NOT SAYING...
DO THINGS THINGS AND YOU WILL LIVE
HE’S SAYING...
LIFE IS FOUND IN ME
YES WE ARE TO PURSUE RIGHTEOUSNESS BY SEEKING TO OBEY HIS COMMANDMENTS
BUT WHEN YOU STUMBLE AND FALL
WHEN YOU SCREW UP
ANYBODY??
OK…5 OF YOU
MAN I AM KILLING THIS PASTOR GAME
THAT IS VERY ENCOURAGING
WHEN YOU MESS UP
JESUS MOVES TOWARD US WITH LOVE AND GRACE
THERE ARE TWO PROMISES ATTACHED TO THIS TEXT...
DEATH LEADS TO LIFE IF WE TRUST IN JESUS
25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live,
HERE IS WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THIS PROMISE
THIS IS HARD FOR US TO BELIEVE IN 2024
BUT HERE IS WHAT HE IS SAYING
THE WAY TO LIFE
THE WAY TO SELF FULFILLMENT
THE WAY TO MEANING AND PURPOSE AND DEPTH
IS NOT BY GRASPING FOR IT OF YOUR OWN ACCORD
BUT BY SUBMITTING TO A KINDER KING THAN YOU ARE
OH LISTEN TO ME....
IF YOU WANT WHAT YOU CRAVE IN YOUR SOUL
THAT THING THAT YOU ARE DESPERATELY HUNGRY FOR
THAT THING THAT MASQUERADES AS.....
SUCCESS
ACCEPTANCE
CONTROL
IT MASQUERADES AS ALL SORTS OF THINGS
BUT THAT THING THAT YOUR CHASING THAT YOUR LOOKING TO FOR FULFILLMENT....
ACCORDING TO THIS PASSAGE
IS NOT FOUND IN YOUR GRASPING AND MANIPULATION
OR EVEN IN YOUR HARD WORK
BUT THAT FULFILLMENT COMES ONLY BY...
DYING TO YOURSELF AND TRUSTING IN JESUS AS THE KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS
24 Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. 25 Whoever loves his life loses it, and whoever hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.
OK SO.......LETS MAKE SOME EYE CONTACT.....
I HAVN’T SEEN SOME OF YOU SINCE EASTER
I’M KIDDING....THAT WAS RUDE
I WAS KIDDING....I’M SO GLAD YOUR HERE TODAY......LOL
THIS IS A SOCIOLOGICAL FACT AND THE DATA IS THERE....
THE MORE YOU MAKE YOUR LIFE ABOUT....YOU
THE MORE NEUROTIC AND ANXIOUS YOU BECOME
THE MORE YOU BELIEVE THAT
YOU ARE THE ONE WHO IS
GONNA BRING ABOUT YOUR OWN PURPOSE AND MEANING AND PLEASURE
THE MORE YOU GROW IN ANXIETY AND FEAR....WHY???
BECAUSE YOU KNOW YOU CAN’T CONTROL IT
WHEN YOU TRY TO TAKE ON THE MANTLE OF DEITY IN YOUR OWN LIFE
YOU HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO BE ANXIOUS BECAUSE....
YOU KNOW HOW POWERLESS YOU ACTUALLY ARE
YOU KNOW HOW WEAK YOU ACTUALLY ARE
.....WORSHIP TEAM COME......
JESUS SAYS....HERE IS THE GREAT NEWS...
DIE AND YOU WILL LIVE
ALL OF THOSE COMPULSIONS IN YOUR LIFE
THE COMPULSION OF THE HEART AND MIND AND FLESH
AND DIE TO THEM
HE SAID GIVE THEM TO ME.....
AND UNDER THE WEIGHT OF MY AUTHORITY THE BURDEN OF LIFE IS LIGHT
HE SAYS....I AM THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE
IF YOU WANNA LIVE
IT’S DEATH TO SELF
26 and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?”
WHEN WE BY FAITH ALONE
IN HIS GRACE ALONE
SURRENDER TO CHRIST AS KING
THE HOLY SPIRIT INDWELLS US
AND WE BEGIN TO EXPERIENCE THE ETERNAL LIFE OF GOD
LISTEN TO ME.....
ETERNAL LIFE ISN’T WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DIE AND GO TO HEAVEN
THIS LIFE IS AVAILABLE TO US RIGHT NOW
I AM THE RESURRECTION
I AM THE LIFE
DEATH IS THE WAY TO THIS LIFE
AND AS YOU DIE TO SELF YOU WILL CONTINUE TO GROW
ABUNDANT LIFE IS AVAILABLE TO YOU....NOW…TODAY
NOT ONCE WE DIE
NOT ONCE WE GET TO HEAVEN
TODAY....HE SAID I CAME SO YOU CAN HAVE ABUNDANT LIFE
THE QUESTION THAT I WANT TO END WITH IS THE QUESTION HE ASKED......
DO YOU BELIEVE THIS?
NOT DO YOU BELIEVE IN HEAVEN
NOT DO YOU THINK YOUR A GOOD PERSON
NOT DO YOU THINK ONE DAY PEOPLE WILL BE RESURRECTED FROM THE GRAVE
NONE OF THOSE....
DO YOU BELIEVE THAT RIGHT NOW...
I AM THE RESURRECTION
AND THERE IS NO RESURRECTION OUTSIDE OF ME
I AM THE LIFE AND THERE IS NO LIFE OUTSIDE OF ME
DO YOU BELIEVE THAT DEATH WILL LEAD TO LIFE
DO YOU BELIEVE THIS....MARTHA
HE IS ASKING US TODAY...
DO YOU BELIEVE THIS
......STAND TO YOUR FEET........
I HEARD AN ARGUMENT THIS WEEK THAT THE ESSENCE OF CHRISTIANITY IS IN IT’S PRONOUNS
I KNOW IT’S A WEIRD TIME TO TALK ABOUT PRONOUNS
BUT LETS DIVE IN
HERE IS WHAT THEY SAID.......
IF YOU BELIEVE THE SON OF GOD CAME DOWN AS JESUS
LIVED A PERFECT LIFE
CRUCIFIED ON THE CROSS
HE WAS RESURRECTED ON THE THIRD DAY
HE ASCENDED TO THE FATHER
AND HE WILL ONE DAY RETURN TO GATHER HIS PEOPLE TO HIMSELF
ALL OF THIS IS TRUE AND YOU BELIEVING THIS DOES NOT MAKE YOU A CHRISTIAN
THE DEVIL BELIEVES THIS
SO THE ARGUMENT WAS....
IT’S ACTUALLY IN THE PRONOUNS
LIKE....DO YOU BELIEVE
THE SON OF GOD CAME FOR.....YOU
THAT HE DIED FOR....YOU
THAT HE WAS RESURRECTED TO PAY FOR YOUR SINS FULLY FREELY AND FOREVER
THAT HE ASCENDED TO THE RIGHT HAND OF THE FATHER
WHERE HE CURRENTLY INTERCEDES FOR....YOU
THAT HE WILL ONE DAY COME BACK AND REDEEM AND MAKE ALL THINGS NEW
AND YOU AND I WILL RULE AND REIGN WITH HIM FOREVER
BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT MAKES YOU A CHRISTIAN
NOT JUST BELIEVING IN THE HISTORICAL FACTS
I’M TALKING ABOUT A HEART SURRENDERED TO
THE KING OF KINGS
AND LORD OF LORDS
PERSONALLY
IT’S TIME TO ALLOW JESUS
TO RIP UP THE FLOOR BOARDS AND REMOVE THE SIN THAT IS CAUSING DEATH IN YOUR LIFE
EVERY HEAD BOWED AND EYE CLOSED
THERE ARE MANY OF YOU WHO THINK...
THAT YOU HAVE OUT SINNED HIS GRACE
SERIOUSLY....COME ON
THIS IS THE CREATOR OF EVERYTHING
YOU REALLY THINK THAT THE DUMB THING THAT HAUNTS YOU THAT YOU PARTICIPATED IN
THAT THING THAT STILL MAKES YOU NAUSEOUS TO THINK ABOUT HOW YOU DID THAT
THAT HE CAN’T HEAL THAT OR FORGIVE THAT
THAT HE CAN’T REDEEM THAT
THAT HE CAN’T USE THAT THING....
AS YOUR OWN MINISTRY TO PUSH BACK DARKNESS AS HE USES YOU IN HIS KINGDOM
HE IS THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE
THERE IS NOTHING TO GREAT FOR HIM TO HANDLE
DO YOU BELIEVE THIS???
I WANNA GET THE PRAYER TEAM TO COME THIS MORNING
THERE ARE PEOPLE HERE TO PRAY WITH YOU AND FOR YOU
HERE IS THE INVITATION TODAY....
IF YOU HAVE NEVER REALLY SAID YES TO JESUS
IF YOU HAVE A LIST OF THINGS YOU BELIEVE
BUT IT’S NOT PERSONALIZED
IT’S NOT…YOU SAYING I’M GIVING MY LIFE TO JESUS
I’M GIVING.....MY…HEART TO JESUS
BUT IT’S JUST AN IDEA THAT HAS MADE YOU FEEL GOOD AT TIMES
BUT WHEN YOU EXAMINE YOUR LIFE...
THERE REALLY ISN’T MUCH FRUIT THAT SAYS....I AM A CHRISTIAN
MY LIFE IS REVOLVED AROUND HIM AND HIS KINGDOM
MAYBE THIS IS YOU...
TODAY IS THE DAY OF SALVATION
HE IS HERE AND SAYING...
I AM THE RESURRECTION AND LIFE
IF THIS IS YOU…WOULD YOU COME AND LET THEM PRAY FOR YOU TODAY....
