RESURRECTION !

Dr. McKay Caston, Pastor of Preaching and Leadership Part 2 of 3: “Resurrection Power for Resurrected People” !

TODAY’S KEY BIBLE PASSAGE: Romans 6:1-4, 11-14 What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? 2 By no means! We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer? 3 Or don’t you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 4 We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life. 11 So count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus. 12 Therefore, do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires. 13 Do not offer any part of yourself to sin as an instrument of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer every part of yourself to him as an instrument of righteousness. 14 For sin shall no longer be your master, because you are not under the law, but under grace. !THE BIG IDEA: ___________________________________________________________________________. !!MY NOTES:

GET CONNECTED! The Get Connected form in the bulletin is for you to fill out and place in the offering basket after the message. Our offering goes to support the ministry of the gospel locally through Creekstone and Campus Outreach, regionally through our church planting partnerships, and globally thorough the missionaries we support around the world. Your giving is making a difference toward the ripple effect of grace! !COMMUNION Communion, also called the Lord’s Supper and the Eucharist, is an opportunity to remember the life, death, resurrection and future return of Jesus. Those who partake are reaffirming their faith, saying, “Jesus is my sin-bearing, righteousness-providing substitute. Since Jesus has proven his commitment to me as my Savior, I re-commit myself to following him as my Lord.” Children who have not yet made a profession of faith before the ordained leadership of a local church are encouraged to join their parents at the tables, but to refrain from taking the elements until they are joyfully admitted by the elders upon their profession of faith in the substitutionary work of Jesus.
