{un}stuck - Week 1

John 14:19 (Mes) --- In a little while the world will no longer see Me, but you’re going to see Me because I am alive and you’re about to come alive!1 Corinthians 15:3-4 NKJV --- “For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures… NKJVRom 6:5-11 --- Since we have been united with him in his death, we will also be raised as he was. Our old sinful selves were crucified with Christ so that sin might lose its power in our lives. We are no longer slaves to sin. For when we died with Christ we were set free from the power of sin. And since we died with Christ, we know we will also share his new life. We are sure of this because Christ rose from the dead, and he will never die again. Death no longer has any power over him. He died once to defeat sin, and now he lives for the glory of God. So you should consider yourselves dead to sin and able to live for the glory of God through Christ Jesus.HOPE = “sin has lost its power in our lives. We are no longer slaves to sin…we were set free from the power of sin.1: Are You STUCK in Your Hurts?Psalm 34:18 --- The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and He saves those whose spirits have been crushed.Q - What have you never gotten over?

It stands to reason, doesn’t it, that if the alive-and-present God who raised Jesus from the dead moves into your life, he’ll do the same thing in you that he did in Jesus, bringing you alive to himself? When God lives and breathes in you (and he does, as surely as he did in Jesus), you are delivered from that dead life. With his Spirit living in you, your body will be as alive as Christ’s! Resurrection – Power to Change.Philippians 2:13 (Phillips) --- For God is at work within you giving you the will and the power to achieve His purpose.3: Are you STUCK in Your Hang-ups?Heb 12:1 --- …let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race… NKJVResurrection gives us – Power to Live.
