This Easter Sunday Josiah takes us through the Gospel message and reminds us of the power of our risen King Jesus!

In this message we take a look a the resurrection in Matthew chapter 28 and the Gospel message in 1 Corinthians 15.

The power of the Resurrection Means

1. That we have faith in our salvation!

Without the fact that Jesus died and rose again for our sins our faith is futile!

This is fundamental to our faith, that as Jesus died on the cross so we die to our old life and as He rose again so we rise again with a new life as new creations!

If He didn't rise again we would still be in our sin, but because He went to the cross we get to be free from our sin!

If you want to be free from your sin you need to believe the truth of the cross!

2. That we worship from the joy of our salvation!

When we belief and receive the truth of the cross we fully saved and the joy of our salvation pulls us into worship and praise!

3. That we are in a battle to believe the truth of our salvation and lead others to belief!

His resurrection also means there is a battle for the Gospel message to go forth and be received!

This is the battle to believe the truth of the cross, that Jesus really rose and that our testimonies are also true!

4. Means Life, Redemption and Restoration for all who belief

Peter is so relatable that he was so vibrant in his faith yet failed many times, and still Jesus redeems and calls him.

5. Means Mission and Discipleship

Jesus has given us all authority to heal, baptise and lead others to Him.

6. Means that we have a glorious Hope

We've got to belief that His resurrection means a glorious future after this life.

7.. Means that we have eternal life

Eternal life is knowing Jesus, its having a relationship with Him

In right relationship with Him, intimately knowing Him!

Inviting Him into our life..

The joy that was set before Jesus, was that you and I would have deep relationship with Him!

Life death and resurrection

Jesus is our Paschal Lamb, our Passover lamb that takes away the sin of the world!

Les takes us through a journey of the origins of the Passover in Exodus and highlights the significance of what this means for us in the New Covenant!

Recap from last week:

It is important that we walk in mercy and forgiveness

2 Cor 10:11 - Least Satan should take advantage of us

Psalm 77:10-12 - I will remember the works of the Lord

The power of our testimony

Take time to meditate on what God has done

Romans 13:11-14 - Let us cast off the works of darkness and put on the Lord Jesus Christ

Part 2

Luke 19:28-48 - The Triumphal Entry

3 Things from this passage

1. Enthroning Jesus

It is our praise that enthrones Him

Ps 22:3 - but you are holy, O you who are enthroned in the holy place when we praise you

Praise ushers in the new season of the Lord.

Worship positions us to partner with what God is doing, breaks the strongholds and silences the enemy.

2. When we weep with the Lord He gives us His authority

This is when we get His heart for His people.

Psalm 126 - Those who sow in tears shall reap in joy

Psalm 84:5-7 - Blessed is the man who's strength is in You

Pursuing Christ with all of our heart

We go through the seasons of weeping with the Lord for Him to build strength and beauty for ministry and future seasons.

3. When He is Lord He brings His divine order by His judgements that carry blessing and breakthrough

The Spirit and the bride say come!
