Freedom

March 22, 2020 • Pastor Dave Engbrecht

It’s a war! Yes, there’s a health war going on right now. There’s an economic war happening. But there’s a greater war happening, and it’s a spiritual war. When much around us crumbles, the enemy becomes opportunistic. He attacks. He seeks to destroy. He desires to take charge of our minds, our emotions, and our future. But here’s the good news. Through the power of the cross, we have victory. Through the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ, the enemy is a defeated foe. Freedom is ours!

Ah, Tada, Wow

One of the most common, if not the most common commands of Scripture is, “Do not be afraid!” This is not a suggestion or a comment, but a command. 2 Timothy 1:7 says, “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.” On the cross, Jesus wins over fear and offers us to join Him in victory. This may be easier said than done. Are you living in fear?

It's All About the Name

The Resurrection is not as much an event as it is a person. And that person is Jesus. In a sense, Resurrection became one of the names of Jesus. Where ever he went the possibility of resurrection happened. It wasn’t about becoming more religious or even self-improvement—His ministry was driven by life. It was bringing back to life that which was dead. Jesus is doing exactly that today. Amidst hard times, disappointment, and stress, the man called Resurrection is still doing what he does best. Resurrection!

What does Jesus teach us about suffering?

Is there a manual for how to navigate troubled waters or journey through uncharted territory? Absolutely! Not only is there a manual, there is guide and His name is Jesus. As the early church was going through hard times, Peter, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, gave them a clear path forward. That path remains the same today. The path is found in God’s word, the Bible. Our guide, our example, and our leader is Jesus.
