The resurrection is easy to just become another story if we let it. It is powerful and life changing. It brings life if we believe it and we can allow our spirits to die if we reject it! This weekend is about the reality that we can believe that Jesus died, rose again, and still lives powerfully through our lives!
God longs for restored intimacy with us. we work so hard being religious, but that doesn’t get us there. He loves us and made the way for restored intimacy with Him!
The question is why did Jesus have to die? One step further is why do we have to die. Paul says he understood the answer to these question by reading the scriptures. The scriptures he was referring to are the Old Testament. Today we will walk through to find this truth
Everything wants our attention. Our lives are filled with things that allow us to not be focused on what’s really important.
We tend to look at our situation, people in our lives, or circumstances and limit what we think God can do. God wants us to believe we are not limited but always blessed because of His love for us! This is the story of Ruth, Naomi, and Boaz!
How often have you felt that your life was in an impossible situation? When we believe we are loved by God, there are no impossible situations only opportunities for God to move!
You are the one God loves the most and when we come to realize that we learn to expect his blessings. Boaz is a type of Christ for Ruth and Naomi. He sees them, loves them and wants them to receive his blessings!
Even when things look their worst. Even when we or others around us have made bad decisions that impact us. If we choose to trust God’s love, goodness, and faithfulness, we will see his blessing!
God wants you to have real relationships with real people who will love you, have your back, see you, really connect with you. He wants you to enjoy the world he created just for you.
Being connected to Jesus not only gives us life, but it also empowers us to bear fruit in our lives. Our main idea today is that when we are connected to Jesus, we naturally bear fruit, and His Word comes alive within us. Let’s take another look at John 15:1-8, where Jesus describes Himself as the true vine and us as the branches.
