Article in the Los Angeles Times that bore the heading “Why [America’s] Record Godlessness Is Good News for the Nation.”[2] A cynical piece concerning the secularization of our country.
We stand on the Truth of the Gospel that Jesus Christ was Resurrected!
Inspiration
But because Jesus lives forever, he will never stop serving as priest.
So he is able always to save those who come to God through him because he always lives, asking God to help them.
Revelation
Christ’s Resurrection is confirmation to us that the Father has accepted His great sacrifice for us!
Christ’s Resurrection is confirmation to us that the Father has accepted His great sacrifice for us!
The Resurrection is not a theological appendix to the Crucifixion. Nice to have, but has no real application.
Christ’s Death and Resurrection are Interwoven!
Christ’s Death and Resurrection are Interwoven!
One does not exist without the other!
For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,
and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures,
It is the fulfillment of God’s promise that death does not have the final word.
Application
The only way to deprive death of its terror, is freedom from sin. And that is found in Christ alone.

because He has appointed a day on which He will judge the world in righteousness by the Man whom He has ordained. He has given assurance of this to all by raising Him from the dead.”
Transformation
Because He Lives…
God sent His son, they called Him, Jesus;
He came to love, heal and forgive;
He lived and died to buy my pardon,
An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives!Because He lives, I can face tomorrow,
Because He lives, all fear is gone;
Because I know He holds the future,
And life is worth the living,
Just because He lives!How sweet to hold a newborn baby,
And feel the pride and joy he brings;
But greater still the calm assurance:
This child can face uncertain days because He Lives!Because He lives, I can face tomorrow,
Because He lives, all fear is gone;
Because I know He holds the future,
And life is worth the living,
Just because He lives!And then one day, I'll cross the river,
I'll fight life's final war with pain;
And then, as death gives way to victory,
I'll see the lights of glory and I'll know He lives!Because He lives, I can face tomorrow,
Because He lives, all fear is gone;
Because I know He holds the future,
And life is worth the living,
Just because He lives!
CALL BECKY UP- I HAVE DECIDED!
Salvation and Baptisms!
Therefore we were buried with Him 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 shall be in the likeness of His resurrection,
knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin.
Souls, Souls, Souls!!!!!!!!!
