Intro -
I’d like to hear a message on what the Bible says about
I’m interested in hearing more about these Themes
The next step in my spiritual journey is..
God has more for you.
The thing s that God has for you are for you, not for God.
He wants you to live a fulfilled life and you will never feel fulfilled until you know why you are here.
Church is not where you come get your weekly spanking.
You will not hear me doing that.
Jesus did not come to bad people good, he came to make dead people alive.
Jesus did not come so you could be good.
He wants to take every place in you that’s dead and make you alive.
Funerals - I think that the person who is dead is actually more alive and anyone of us there.
On day you will hear that I have died.
Don’t believe it because in that moment I will be more alive than ever!
Billy Graham.
Boudreaux joke - Thibidoux - I want people to say he was a good family man… loved his wife, kids,..
Guidry - He made a difference in community
Boudreaux - Look he’s moving...
It was never intended just to be a holiday for us to enjoy, it was mean to give live to every part of your life.
The resurrection of Jesus gives you the power to close the gap between the life you are living and could have.
I have just a little time to convince you of that… to get you to believe again.
“Easter is death working backwards.”
CS Lewis
Instead of going from life to death, you can go from death to life…
Whats the catch?
What do I have to do to make this happen.
People think that God is requiring more of you than he is.
You see the apostles and think that you can’t relate to them.
You will find that you relate better than you think… listen to Paul
Abraham
What do you have to do for the death process to be reversed?
for your life to be better?
Not a lot.
You just have to believe.
Look at this story… one of the people he raised from the dead… Lazarus
The one Jesus really loved was sick… one of his best friends.
Point -
God is not motivated to help you based on your love for him, but on his love for you.
He waited two days… sometimes God seems to move slow.
But God is using the situation to do something bigger in us.
Sometimes we reason with God based on what we understand and we have no idea what God is doing on our behalf.
so that you may believe…
When Jesus does something that boggles our mind, he doesn’t want us to figure it out, he wants us to believe.
Jews believed the spirit hovered over the body for 3 days so Jesus waited until the 4th day so Lazarus was really dead.
Ressurection is not an event… it’s a person -Jesus.
Do you believe this?
That’s the question to us today… do we believe?
Death Valley Story -
Death Valley is the hottest, driest place in our country.
It’s desert, it’s cracked.
December 2004, 7 inches of rain fell in a few days and by Easter 2005 flowers were there.
Death Valley wasn’t dead, it was dormant.
right beneath the surface of what looked so dead, was potential… where life could happen.
Beneath the surface of your messed up life… are seeds waiting for a resurrection.
Pray -
Grab the card...
