If the Tomb is Empty... - First Christian Church of Newburgh

Who Tells You Who You Are?

March 12, 2023 • Nathan Logsdon • Exodus 20

God secured your identity before you even knew you needed it. God delivered his people before giving them the commandments. The Ten Commandments are not a scale to compare yourself to others. The Ten Commandments are a gracious gift to live up to, not an impossible standard to fail.

Pursue the Blesser

March 19, 2023 • Nathan Logsdon • Matthew 5:1–12

The pursuit of the blesser stimulates the blessing. The reality of your sin should crush you. Your sin should stir emotions. Your sin needs a Savior and Lord. Analyze your cravings. God’s mercy is alive within you. Your mind is fragile but your heart is made pure. Bless others with peace. Following Jesus shouldn’t fit culture.

With What Weapon are You Fighting the Enemy?

March 26, 2023 • Kevin Brimner • Matthew 4:1–11

If the tomb is empty, anything is possible! Temptation always comes when you’re hungry, isolated, and tired. Short cuts lead to short-circuits. Know your “it is written” verse and speak it often.

Overcoming My Unbelief

April 2, 2023 • Kevin Brimner • Luke 9:28–36, Mark 9:14–29

On the mountain top you’re “above it all” but life happens down in the valley. God’s power to deliver is greater than evil. How to overcome unbelief: nurture faith no matter the size or sustained duration and bring whatever issue you have to Jesus.

It Is Finished

April 9, 2023 • Kevin Brimner • John 19:17–30, John 20:1–8

If the tomb is empty: Jesus has guaranteed my resurrection too, Jesus has moved on to other work, I’ve been given access to all the grace I’ll ever need, I can live what is right no matter what I’m facing, and I have a reason to give thanks and worship back to God every single day.
