A lot has changed in the last year, but not everything has changed. In an ever changing world, we need to hang on to never changing truths. As we continue our series, Hindsight is 2020, Shane Pruitt teaches us three things we will never have to regret about Jesus.

KEY TAKEAWAY

-In an ever changing world, we need to hang on to never changing truths.

-Jesus hasn’t changed and neither has our identity in Him. We are still—always!—called to know Him and to make Him known.

-COVID-19 has not changed the great commission.

-You never have to regret experiencing Jesus’ power.

-You won’t understand resurrection and life until you understand Jesus.

-The only thing that can overcome death is life, that can overcome the grave is resurrection, the very thing Christ did!

-Sin spreads worse than any virus has ever spread.

-Sitting inside a church doesn’t make you a Christian. We are not born Christians...we are born sinners in need of a Savior.

-Have you ever noticed that when someone else sins we become judges but when we sin we become defense attorneys?

-Sin is powerful, but Jesus is infinitely more powerful.

-You will never be too far gone for Jesus. Never!

-Why would we ever follow someone who can’t do anything different than we can do all by ourselves? Jesus is the only person to ever defeat death...the one thing we can not do all by ourselves. Buddha, Mohammad, Joseph Smith...all other major religions central figure died and stayed dead, but not Jesus!

-You never have to regret walking in Jesus’ victory.

-The gospel of Jesus is not about making good people better or bad people good but about making dead people alive.

-The power of the gospel doesn’t just change our identity, it changes our actions.

-Grave clothes are for the dead. They are no longer appropriate for the living.

-Lost people are supposed to live like lost people. What’s sad is when found people still live like lost people.

-What are some old grave clothes that you are still holding on to? Gossip? Complaining? Fear? An addiction? Anger? Social media?

-One of the greatest tragedies is when people who are spiritually alive in Christ walk around and live like people who are dead.

-The world needs the hope of Jesus and God’s plan A is that His people, Christians, would live out that hope day in and day out, outside the four walls of the building we gather in once a week.

-You never have to regret pointing others to Jesus.

-Most of the things we do in response to fear we regret.

-When our flesh sees something difficult our faith sees an opportunity.

-Lazarus used the most difficult thing in his life (death) to point people to the most powerful thing in his life (Jesus).

-Who needs to hear about Jesus in your life?
