“Death is final… It is powerful… It is unavoidable…. Or is it?

What if physical death for the believer isn’t actually what we’ve been taught?

When Jesus spoke of Lazarus after he was gone and buried, he spoke of him saying, ‘Our friend Lazarus sleepeth.’

Often times you’ll find that scripture does not present death for the child of God in finality —

but as rest… waiting… and awakening.

We discover why the Bible calls death, “sleep,”

and why resurrection — not death — is the Christian’s true hope.

Oh death where's thy sting? Oh grave where's thy victory? You may not realize this, but when the Apostle Paul wrote these words, he was actually taunting death or as we might say today, he was trolling it.

“Oh death, where's your sting? Oh grave, where's your victory?”

We continue our powerful series Wanted: Dead and Alive, Part Two: Death Has No Hold.

If we're going to be honest, death can be terrifying. See, as a funeral assistant myself, I see that fear all the time—its finality, certainty, its weight. But the scripture declares something absolutely radical. The Bible actually personifies death and declares it as our enemy and of course Jesus Christ as its conqueror. By becoming man, Jesus Christ redeems man and by experiencing death himself, he then defeats it. You see, apart from Christ, death did have legal access to us, but because of the payment of death of Jesus Christ on the cross, Jesus now holds the keys. So in Christ, we have that authority. The grave has lost all of its access and fear no longer has a rightful place in the heart of a believer. For if we believe that he died and rose again, we believe also that we shall be raised up with him in newness of life. Death might affect the body, but in Christ, it cannot affect the soul. This week we're looking at the victory of Christ over death and why the Christian should no longer have any bondage to it.  Let us be reminded and encouraged that death is not the end, but is actually the beginning.

A timely and much needed look at what the Bible says, God’s stand is on national boarders and how we, as believers, should handle foreigners. This is an important topic to understand in our current political climate so that we can align ourselves with the word and wisdom of God and not be deceive by the enemy into standing against God, unknowingly. The devil is very cunning, but God’s word always reveals the truth to us. 

Why do some people's prayers seem to move heaven and earth? Do they know something about how to get their prayers heard? Well, yes. The Bible tell us exactly what we need to do, have powerful effective prayers that God hears and responds too.

The Bible. It speaks of the Gospel of Jesus Christ who offers “ETERNAL LIFE” through free the gift of salvation by His grace, through faith in Him!  It says that He came to give us life, and life MORE ABUNDANTLY!  But what exactly is the process of that gift of life to the believer who walks that path?

Ironically, the answer is actually death.  The Bible makes this ___ revelation very clear when it says, “Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?  Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.” (Romans 6:3-4)

So death, in essence, is what God uses to bring us to life - being Dead to sin, Dead to the world, and Dead to the selfish desires.

“For ye are dead, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.” (Colossians 3:3)

So come and experience the truest nature of our new life in Christ found only through the death of Self.  For resurrection cannot be experienced unless having already gone… to the cross.

Bible Study from 7-2018

This Bible Study reveals foundational revelation that takes us back to God's original mission for the Children of Israel, how they failed and how they fulfilled it, how it was passed on to us as Christians today, and how it can reveal to us our purpose in the earth and in God's Kingdom.

The Age old Question:  What is the Meaning or Purpose of Life?  So many have contemplated this, and have also attempted to answer.  For Me?  All truth comes from the scriptures of the Bible, and funny enough, it actually tells us very Directly in Ecclesiastes 12:13 “Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.

Biblical Truths:  No one is an accident. Not a single person is created without purpose. No matter what you may think, your life has valuable meaning; in fact, every decision we make has eternal consequences. So, In Christ, purpose is not a mystery — it is a promise. Hope is not fragile — it is anchored in resurrection. Victory is not uncertain — In Christ, God always ensures it. We are called with a high calling, secure in an eternal purpose, and destined to share in His glory — especially the day when the dead in Christ shall rise first. We Uncover our God-given purpose, Renew our unshakeable hope, and Celebrate our promised future for every believer who is …in Christ.

What if the life you’re living… isn’t the life God intended for you? Or do you find yourself not satisfied with where your life is currently? Without question, this is exactly where I found myself many years ago when I was running from God. I came back to the Lord, broken, hopeless, with literally NOTHING to show for my life… but in Christ, everything changed! This Sunday we are beginning a new series that speaks on JUST THAT! In Christ Alone | Part 1: Reformed & Reborn! The old you — the broken you, the burdened you, the defeated you — is not the “you” that God sees. Scripture tells us that in Christ we are sanctified, begotten, made alive, adopted and transformed into a new creature. You see, it’s not even an “improvement”… or an “upgrade”…but we are completely made brand NEW! We will discover what it truly means to walk in the identity God has given you — a life sanctified, reborn, and empowered in Christ. So come, step into a new life with us, that is, already yours… “In Christ!”

A word of hope and instruction for the coming year. We stand on the brink of great opportunity to show the power of God to the hopeless, but only is we stand fast and don't fall to hopelessness ourselves. Don't dwell on the trial, look through to the victory, elevation, and reward waiting on the other side of it. Don't be shaken, don't quit, don't loose faith or focus! This is a moment of greatness and you don't want to miss it. The storms and shakings will be loud and boisterous, but the power that God has stored up for this hour is more than sufficient. Ask and believe it.
