HAPPY RESURRECTION DAY!
Resurrection Sunday is a DAY of Celebration for sure! It is the DAY that we marvel in the GRACE of Jesus Christ - in His provision of GRACE granted to you and me!
The crowds that attend 'Easter' Sunday are composed of three particular groups of people...
1. RESISTING - those who are AWARE of the 'Day' - but are not too interested beyond that!
2. RESPONDING - those who understand the difference between Christianity & Religion - they just haven't yet grasped the difference between Religion & RELATIONSHIP!
3. REPRODUCING - those who are growing intimately - and know completely that Following means Fishing!
We're gonna be taking a UNIQUE look into the lives of EACH of these three attendees this coming week by looking closer at the passage in which Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 3:10-15...
Because of God's grace to me, I have laid the foundation like an expert builder. Now others are building on it. But whoever is building on this foundation must be very careful. For no one can lay any foundation other than the one we already have – Jesus Christ. Anyone who build on that foundation may use a variety of materials – gold, silver, jewels, wood, hay, or straw. But on the judgment day, fire will reveal what kind of work each builder has done. The fire will show if a person’s work has any value. If the work survives, that builder will receive a reward. But if the work is burned up, the builder will suffer great loss. The build will be saved, but like someone barely escaping through a wall of flames.
The BIG IDEA of the day is... WHAT KIND OF HOUSE ARE YOU GONNA HAVE?
See... everyone is BUILDING their LIFE with some kind of BUILDING MATERIAL! Some MATERIALS will last... some WON'T! God has given each of us the MATERIALS to BUILD a LIFE that will last for ALL OF ETERNITY! If you don't use the right MATERIALS - you will discover in due timing - the FOUNDATIONS and WALLS of your LIFE will CRUMBLE! Don't discover this TOO LATE!
Can't wait to CELEBRATE our RISEN SAVIOR with the Message of HOPE and incredible GRACE this weekend at COC! Praying to see YOU there!
BTW... Statistics show that if an unsaved person is invited to Church on EASTER - 82% will come!!
(WHO have you invited to CELEBRATE with you?)
