Key Thought: Jesus is Alive! His Tomb is EMPTY! When we invite Jesus to live in us,

His Resurrection power changes every part of a believer’s life! The beauty of Easter is that

the same power that raised Jesus from the dead is available to us to defeat sin and to live

lives that honor God!

1. Jesus’ sacrificial death on the cross and the miracle of the empty tomb offer us divine

power that can change our lives from the inside out!

2. God is present with us today because the tomb was and is empty!

3. Jesus Is Not Dead! Jesus Is RISEN!

4. “New Birth” is offered to us by the power of Jesus’ Resurrection!

5. God changes our past, our present, and our future by the life, death, and Resurrection of

Christ Jesus!

6. I invite you to confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that

God raised Him from the dead!

7. THE TOMB IS EMPTY! HE IS RISEN!

May 26, 2024 • Kenny Baskins • Colossians 1:15–28, Psalm 118:24

Key Thought: What is a Christian? In Colossians 1:27, we read that a Christian is a person in whom Christ dwells. 1. It is Christ in you, the hope of glory! 2. It means that you have a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ! 3. It means that you have received Christ as Savior! 4. My prayer is that each of us has accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior; for there is no other hope of glory! Psalm 118:24 “This is the day the Lord as made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.”

May 19, 2024 • Kenny Baskins • John 17

Key Thought: In John 17, Jesus prays first to be glorified (v. 1-5); then Jesus prays for His disciples (v.6-19); finally Jesus prays for all believers (v. 20-26). Prayer is the “soul’s blood”! What would it mean for our Church to be a “house of prayer”? 1. Jesus asks Father God that we would be one: A) in purpose; B) in devotion; C) together with Him; D) with the Father; E) with each other 2. When a local church doesn’t pray, it becomes a lo-cal church! 3. Four misconceptions about prayer that we must overcome if we are to pray as Jesus prayed: A) Seeing prayer as technique instead of grace; B) Thinking that speaking a prayer is the end; C) Seeing prayer as little more than “idle thought”. D) Thinking prayer is just a “mind thing”! 4. True prayer involves our entire being! 5. When we pray, all things are possible! If we do not pray, nothing is possible!
