Today as we celebrate Resurrection Sunday, marking the occasion of Jesus rising from the dead, it is time to reflect on the Resurrection and what it means to us. As a believer in Christ, what does Jesus rising from the dead have to do with your life today? (SEE ALSO GOOD FRIDAY SERMON ON THE AGONY OF GETHSEMANE)

The Garden of Gethsemane was where Jesus agonized over His coming fate at the Cross. The reason for His agony was far beyond just the physical suffering He would endure, it had to do with the Cup He would drink. The agony of Gethsemane was far beyond we could imagine.

Jesus enters the Holy City Jerusalem, riding on a donkey while the crowd shouts Hosanna! A lowly donkey had the esteemed honor of carrying the King of Kings on that day. In this Palm Sunday sermon, what can we learn from that donkey?

The Christian life is the abandonment of a life spent satisfying our own desires and living for our own purposes. God has called us to something higher, to no longer live for ourselves but for Christ, who died for us. We do not lose when we do this!!!! In fact it is in this that we are blessed and experience the deepest relationship with God. (Includes Communion at the end of the sermon)

God's will concerning you is central to your prayer life. We can have faith and believe for the impossible once we are in accordance with His will.

We are to know and prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. How do we do that? How do we find the will of God for our lives or while making major decisions? Here are 5 ways how we can know the will of God for our lives in every decision.

Jesus said that His food was to do the will of the One who sent Him. The will of God is good and perfect.

God asked Elijah the prophet "What are you doing here Elijah?" There are times in our lives when God may ask the same of us, about why we are in a certain tough place in our lives. In our answer, God will show us the reason and the solution to our pain.

Many people are dealing with depression in these times. The prophet Elijah suffered a period of despair where he ran away and asked God to take his life! As God ministered to and restored Elijah, so He will do for the depressed, and the means God uses to restore are the same as they always were. Arise, and feed on that which gives you supernatural strength.
