PRAYER:

Father God, Thank You for the way in which you have me living my life in full recognition of the power You have over me. Without You, I could do nothing and could be nothing great or small.

I humble myself Lord to those who You have placed in rulership over me with spiritual authority- yet, Lord, I realize that You have called me into servanthood for the goodness and the glory of Your salvation here on earth.

I am not afraid of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and I’ll tell men and women, boys and girls, the unsaved and the saved, that the time is now to get right with You!

In the name of Jesus I have prayed. Amen,

HYMN:

A charge to keep I have

A God to glorify

A never dying soul to save

And fit it for the sky....

HYMN:

To God the Father, let us sing

To God the Son and risen King

And equally with them adore

The Spirit, God, forever ,more.

Amen.

Let all of God’s people say, Amen.

PRELUDE:

Is there anybody out there who knows that when the devil had you on his side, he didn’t bother you?

Oh no, he let you do all the sinning you were big and bad enough to do.

But Lord have mercy! When you decided to get on the Lord’s side, you stirred up the anger of the demon spirit called Satan and no matter how much good you do, evil is always present!

Being a true Christian is not easy, but I’m here to tell you that there is hope....if you live right!!

Before I go on any further, I want to ask a serious question. Do you have a rock in your pocket or pocketbook?

No? Okay. Because I heard a Christian joke recently about 3 sisters who’d gone to the Pearly Gates.

The first sister had a ladder with her and the angel asked her "why she brought it with her?" She said, "because when I see one of my sisters down there, I’m going to lower this ladder and help her climb up to Heaven!"

The angel said okay and let her in.

The second sister brought a rope with her and the angel asked her "why she brought it?" She said, "because when I see one of my sisters trying to get to Heaven, I will lower my rope and help pull her up!"

The angel said, ah, I see. Come on in the Pearly Gates!

The third sister arrived carrying a big bag of rocks!!

The angel looked at her and asked, "Girl, what are you planning on doing with those rocks???"

She looked at the angel, took a big rock out of her bag and said, "When I see another sister trying to do right and get into Heaven, I’m going to take a big rock and knock her right back down to hell!"

Needless to say, the angel blocked the Gates of Heaven and sent her back until she had an attitude adjustment!!!

....isn’t it amazing how we can get so close and still not make it in? So all I am asking of you at this time is to help raise your brethern, help them pull up or climb up. For your sake, don’t knock anybody down. Amen?

If you have a rock hard attitude, you can lie to your neighbor and act like a Christian. They can’t judge you even if you are living like a hypocrite! God knows your hearts and your intentions..for in Hebrews 10:30, we know that God said, I will punish those who do wrong, I will repay them. And He also said, The Lord will judge His people.

Aren’t you glad to know that to judge someone is not your responsibility or right? I know I’m glad about it!!! Now let me remind you through scripture, the truth from the bible about what is our responsibility as Christians...........

SCRIPTURE:

(Mark 16:15 nlv) Jesus said to His followers, "Go everywhere in the world, and tell the Good News to everyone".

TEXT:

We all know the details of the Ressurrection. Of how Jesus rose from the borrowed tomb early one Sunday morning before sunrise....how does it make you feel?

What do you think about when you hear a preacher talk about your brother and my brother, Jesus Christ?Hanging on that old rugged cross, arms stretched out wide, nails in His hands, nails in His feet, pierced in His side, a crown of thorns in his head, crying out, "FATHER!!!" and then He dies for your sins and for my sins.

His resurrection was the final complete victory over death and sin and over their effects upon both man and creation. Because Christ arose, according to I Corinthians 15, believers shall also rise in resurrection bodies.
