Pastor Craig opened our Easter service encouraging everyone that our King Jesus is Risen and Loves us. Today’s sermon is from Matthew 28:1-7 entitled His Resurrection Our Strength.
Pastor Craig encouraged everyone that today the greatest historical event in history occurred on Resurrection Sunday. Jesus Christ Resurrected changed the course of History. Jesus never sinned and was made the offering for our sin for reconciliation to occur. Pastor Craig reflectively asked what role do the Power and Resurrection of Jesus have in your life?
There is no condemnation in Christ. No one can condemn you because of Him. When we are saved by Jesus God declares us not guilty. We are not fearful slaves but have been adopted to walk in God’s Freedom. The Father Loves us and adopted us to live in His Perfect Plan.
Pastor Doug focused on Matthew 21:1-17 to underscore the principles in Fulfilling the Word. He shared that everything Jesus does is to please the Father and that no human can make Jesus King, only God can do that. Jesus isn’t a Victim in what lies ahead, it’s God orchestrating and fulfilling Scripture. Faith refuses to see anything contrary to the Word of God. Faith acts on God’s Word.
Pastor Doug shared that we should not lower His Word to our experience. Instead our experience should Rise to His. He encouraged that we must feed our minds and hearts with the Word. He emphasized that our worship to Jesus perpetuates and produces momentum, it fosters spiritual traction, and applies faith into our lives.
Pastor Doug opened Acts 10:1-23, entitling today’s sermon Activating the Hesitant. We continue our Easter series Now Empowered. Pastor Doug added that today’s verses emphasize Connecting. God often uses unexpected connections and events to align our lives to His Plan. Despite Jewish traditions and laws, God will work in Cornelius’ life because he is prepared.
Pastor Doug taught that as we deepen our relationship with God, He will activate His broader Plan into our life as we exercise obedience and preparation.
God worked on Peter and Cornelius as He does in our lives. God desires us to exercise immediate obedience. God chooses us based on our work of preparation. Pastor Doug noted that God prepares us to graduate to different seasons with different levels of obedience. Hesitancy creates roadblocks.
Pastor Craig preached our sermon today from Acts 9:32-43 inside our series entitled Now Empowered. Today’s sermon title is Original Intent Part 2~Encountering God~God Encounters. He noted that Jesus wants to change the world around each of us and through our encounters with Him we are empowered to engage the changes.
Pastor Craig reflected and shared that we too often are busy with life and need the power of Jesus to demolish a lifestyle that is a busy one for another that is more focused on the plan of Jesus as part of our Original Intent. He shared that encountering Jesus as Peter did opens doors for us to exercise miracles, wonders, and signs inside our world.
Peter did not just hear about Jesus, he encountered His miracle working power. This is God’s Original Intent for all of us. Pastor Craig shared that it is Jesus’ Will and Good Pleasure to bring several experiences into our lives: Salvation, Freedom, Deliverance, Healing, and Provision, all in supernatural ways that only God can do. And we can be a part of the Plan starting with prayer.
