2011-04-24-0830 Pastor Loran Livingston is the speaker this morning April 24th, 2011 in the 8:30 service.
Scripture: Matthew 28:1-8; Acts 1:3
Topic: Resurrection
Notes:
- The resurrection of Jesus is not just some theory
- Some say the body was stolen; if by disciples the truth would
have come out by torture; if by His enemies they would have put it
on display
- Some say He was in a coma; if so how did he move the stone to get
out
- Evolution: not one fact to back it up, yet people embrace
evolution while calling the resurrection a foolish theory
- Jesus appeared to hundreds: Mary Magdalene, disciples, men on the
road to Emmaus, Thomas, seven disciples fishing, 500 men
worshipping, Stephen being stoned, Saul
- Some did not recognize Him; unless He opens your eyes you never
will
- It is not our place to write anyone off; God never gave up on
me
- Jesus called us and will continue to use us; let God do the
growing
- God never deals with two people the same way (story of church
people at bar)
- If He calls you He will perfect you... for the rest of your
life
- If the resurrection is nothing more than a beautiful historical
event, it is worthless
- The resurrection is a present day active reality in my life
- When you become a believer you become victorious for eternity
- He conquered death; you will never die
- God has kept me; I am already seated in a heavenly place
