2020-02-23 - From Death to Life - Week 01

New Sermon Series Begins This Sunday, "From Death to Life"...

After the movie, “The Passion of Christ” came out, a lady by the name of Madeleine Evans wrote... “Personally...I have no problem believing what Jesus did, but I want no responsibility for it. I will pay for my own sins...after all...I usually do...thank you very much. I would never want anyone to go through so much suffering for me.”

Like so many people today, she didn’t understand the depths of her sin if she thought she could in any way pay for them. You see, to think that we could pay the penalty for our own sin to the point that God would accept our efforts, is an idea that is totally foreign to what the Bible teaches. The problem is, there’s a difference in how we view our sin and how God views it and what we have to understand is, God’s view is the one that counts.

In Ephesians 2:1-7, Paul tells us this important truth; “You can’t save you, but Jesus can!” That’s why, starting this Sunday morning, February 23rd, we begin a new 6-week series called, “From Death to Life”. We’ll discover, not only what God has done to take us from death to life, but we’ll also discover what our response to this new life should be.

I hope that you’ll make the next 6-weeks a priority on your Sunday morning schedule. And don’t forget to bring someone with you.
