Why try to kill what God has already raised?

Are you still trying to figure out the death of Christ… while missing out on the resurrection life He has given?

The cross worked. Your old self is buried. You’re fully forgiven – forever. But the real party? That starts with the resurrection. You’ve been raised with Jesus. You’re alive. Righteous. Sanctified. Your new identity is locked in, and your new life is secure because it’s eternal.

So why are so many believers still obsessed with the “old self,” trying to climb back on the cross? In this message, I unpack why the resurrection isn’t just some Easter Sunday detail – it’s the game-changer. Watch now and celebrate the freeing, life-altering truth of having been raised with Christ.

Discussion Questions:

1. How does the message of the cross help us fully celebrate the resurrection?
2. What does repentance look like for a believer?
3. How does the resurrection relate to our righteousness?
4. How does Christ’s resurrection offer us eternal security?
5. React to this statement: There’s no need to kill what’s already been raised.
6. How do we properly understand sanctification? How has this concept been misunderstood by many?
