Resurrection Says

Resurrection says the old way is not the way it has to be any longer.

Where do you doubt today?
  • Is it in the search for a job? Have you sent out so many resumes that the postal service is thinking of setting up a branch office in your house? Are you starting to give up and are starting to doubt that God is able? I disagree, because I believer in resurrection.
  • Are the financial issues in your home so bad that you are totally embarrassed to let anyone know and you have come to the point where you just do not believe God cares either. You now think there is no hope. I say there is hope, because I believe in resurrection.
  • Is there a health related issue – and everyone knows a miracle is the only way it will be come out right? Maybe you have given up all hope. I again say there is hope, because I believe in resurrection.
  • Do you have a child that is in trouble and you are growing weary of asking God to redeem the situation? You now believe that you are going to live your life with a prodigal child. I say do not give up hope, because I believe in resurrection. The prodigal did return.
  • Is there a relational issue in your life that is in need of healing – and you doubt God can handle it? Maybe it is with a family member, or a co-worker, or a neighbor. Maybe your marriage is on the rocks and you are ready to throw in the towel. I say, “Do not do it!” Relationships can be healed. Because I believe in resurrection.
  • Maybe you have been waiting for God to send you a mate or a child and you now are ready to not only give up on that, but you are ready to give up on God caring about it? I say, do not give up, because I believe in resurrection.
  • Have you finally come to the point where you need to make a decision regarding Jesus? Is it possible that you should make Easter 2016 the day you placed faith in Jesus? I say do it, because I believe in resurrection.
Resurrection means the old way of doing things is no more!

As one pastor says, “On that Sunday morning, it is as if Jesus says, ‘HA! You didn’t see that one coming did you?!’”

Resurrection says churches do not have to be the way they were. You can change. You do not have to do exact same things the same way. Just because you did this before you not have to do it again. There is hope to move on and have a future.

Resurrection says, if death has been conquered, then what other old way of doing things needs to be conquered. What else has been taking place that need no longer take place? What other issue in your life is in such disarray that you no longer believe it can be repaired. Resurrection says, “You are wrong! Anything is possible now!”

Resurrection says, “If I can rise from the dead, I can handle whatever it is you are dealing with. If I can conquer death, I can take care of your problem!”
