Palm Sunday

Don't Miss This

Hebrews 12:2 (CEV) 2 We must keep our eyes on Jesus, who leads us and makes our faith complete. He endured the shame of being nailed to a cross, because he knew that later on he would be glad he did. Now he is seated at the right side[a] of God’s throne! As we enter the Easter season, we recognize more than ever that a life with Christ is good and beneficial. Jesus paid for these benefits when he died on the cross for us. In this week’s message, we look at the cross and what it brings to those who follow after God. Because of the cross, we have total forgiveness. Jesus came to take away our guilt, shame, remorse, and regret. Jesus cancelled your debt - a debt you couldn’t pay! Every sin, every word, every thought, and action you’ve done have been forgiven. Because of the cross, we have deep healing! God wants to go to the depths of our soul and bring healing to our deepest wounds. When we are in relationship with Him, we begin to experience the benefit on deep healing and freedom. Finally, because of the cross, we have real freedom! We can break free from controlling forces because of Jesus. He doesn’t just want to forgive our sin - He wants to become active in helping us live life that is satisfying! He wants us to live lives that are and full of meaning and purpose! Romans 6:6 - 9 (NIV) “For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin because anyone who has died has been set free from sin. Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with him. For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him.” We inherit and experience these benefits when we’re adopted into God’s family.
