Pastor James W Greer - Journey Church - Resurrection Road: Power Under Pressure


 The Secret Christians. (Matthew 27:57-66, NKJV; John 19:38, NKJV)

Joseph of Arimathea was a secret disciple of Jesus. There will come a time when you will have to make a choice who you will follow, Jesus or the world. Joseph, the secret disciple of Jesus, was showing more courage than any of the other disciples. There will come a time in your life when you will have to have the courage to confess Jesus before men. (Matthew 10:32-33, NKJV; Philippians 2:9-11, NKJV)


Jesus was simply borrowing Joseph’s tomb. (Matthew 27:59-61, NKJV)

There were very few people left at the tomb with Jesus. Jesus had already lived a sinless life and made a great impact. Make a difference while you are alive, good works will then follow you to Heaven. (Revelation 14:13, NKJV)

Anything that you do to help get people saved will be rewarded.

Many Christians spend their lives trying to be good, but not doing good.

For the Christian, it matters what you do before the funeral.

You can’t keep a good man down. (Matthew 27:62-64, NKJV)

They did not believe Him but still feared Him. The problem was not the deception but the truth; it’s the truth that will set you free. There is big difference between deception and perception.

Deception – misleading, intentionally misleading, falsehood. (Revelation 12:9, NKJV; John 8:44, NKJV)Perception – knowledge gained, becoming aware of. (John 8:32, NKJV)

When you are trying to find security in anything but Christ you will always be insecure.

(2 Peter 1:3-4, NIV)

Biblical security can be found in knowing who you are and Who’s you are. Security and worth come from the inside out, not outside in. Security and worth does not come from what you have, how you dress, where you live what your I.Q. is, but who you are in Christ.

You are fearfully and wonderfully made.

One Nation Under God: Rediscovering America's Divine Purpose in Unity

Image
 From Pastor Steve Smothermon Think about the Pledge of Allegiance, especially where it says, One nation under God. A beacon of light: Scripture teaches in Amos 3:3 How can two walk together unless they be agreed? God brought people from every nation of the world to make and create America — a place that would be a beacon of light to the world that God is real and that He sent Jesus to save us; a light that other nations would envy; a light that when a nation honors God, He will cause it, them to prosper; a nation like no other nation; one nation under God; “one nation.”

Image
On June 29, 1776, pivotal events unfolded in the burgeoning United States that would resonate through history, marking the transition of Virginia into an independent powerhouse with its first constitution.

12 Years of Struggle: Finding Authority and Healing in the Midst of Life's Storms

Image
 From a Sermon by Pastor Richie Thornton The first thing I want you to see in this passage this morning is that this woman struggled with this issue of blood for 12 years. 12 years is a long time! The number 12 has a significant meaning in the Bible… The number 12 typically means perfection or authority, and often the number 12 is used in a context of government… For instance, we see the 12 disciples; the 12 tribes of Israel; 12 spies who went to scout the Promised Land… In Revelation we read about the New Jerusalem; we see the number 12 repeatedly: 12 gates, 12 angels, 12 foundations…all this points to perfection, ultimately coming under God’s authority and under God’s government.
