Romans 4:18-5:2 Raised For Our Justification
I am so excited to worship with you this coming Resurrection Sunday. Of course, we celebrate the gospel every time we gather, but this is the Sunday the church sets aside to specifically commemorate and revel in what Jesus Christ has done for us. Our Savior is alive and He as given us an eternal resurrection life! Romans 4:25 says, "[Jesus] was delivered up for our trespasses and raised for our justification." So, this Sunday as we gather to worship, I hope to focus our hearts on what it means to be justified before God and how a sinner can be justified. We rightly give much attention to Jesus’ crucifixion when we speak of being justified before God. It is indeed there where the payment for our sin was made. (And we will of course speak much about it Sunday as well.) But the resurrection is also central to our justification. In 1 Corinthians 15, Paul says if Christ has not been raised, our faith is futile and we are still in our sins. This Sunday we will talk about how the resurrection of Jesus applies to our justification before God. I hope to preach from Romans 4:18 - 5:2 in order to demonstrate this. I pray that God will use this Sunday to change hearts, draw people to Himself, and to deepen our love for His name.

Colossians 2:11-15 Risen With Christ
Paul assures the Colossians that they are complete in Christ and need nothing else. The gospel completes their standing before God. They have been united in His death and resurrection and made alive with Him.

1 Corinthians 15:12-20 If Christ Has Not Been Raised...
Paul argues that the resurrection of Jesus is essential to the Christian faith. In fact, if Jesus has not been raised then our faith is futile and we are still in our sins.
