With Jesus, It’s a Win-Win


 It's an amazing blessing to be part of a great church family.

Easter Sunday was an awesome experience at Journey Church. From the songs that were sung by the  praise team, who really gave one of the most spirit filled performances I've ever heard, to the message Pastor James preached about the sacrifice Jesus made for us all, it was a truly special event.

It was an honor to serve on such a Sunday as part of the host team. Turnout for all three services was just amazing. According to the numbers the church as a whole set new attendance records. We reached max capacity for the 10 am service and we had to ask late arrivals to wait for the 11:30 service because we literally couldn't fit in another single soul in the sanctuary. 

Here is Pastor James preaching on With Jesus, It's a Win Win:


Here are the sermon notes:

We can’t lose.

Whatever we are going through, we know it will turn out for our deliverance and our good. (Philippians 1:19-21, NKJV) We can live on a day-to-day basis expecting deliverance. (Philippians 1:20, NKJV) Because of what Jesus did for you and me, it’s a win-win. (Philippians 1:21, NKJV)
Why losers lose: (Matthew 27:62, NKJV)

What the spiritual and political leaders believed about Jesus is really what they don’t believe about Jesus. Many leaders want to think Jesus is a deceiver instead of a deliverer. The truth is that they are the deceivers and Jesus is the deliverer. (Matthew 27:63-66, NKJV)

Everything Jesus said while He was alive, came true. (Matthew 27:64, NKJV)

Losers believe they can stop or control what Jesus does and does not do. Losers will not allow Jesus to forgive them of their sins, guilt, shame, and fears. Losers try to get their security in things other than Jesus and who they are in Christ. (Matthew 27:65-66, NKJV) Security and worth come from the inside out, not from the outside in.

We win! (Matthew 28:1-6, NKJV)

We will win because Jesus is risen! (Matthew 28:6, NKJV) Sin never had power over Jesus. (Romans 6:8-10, NIV)

Once we ask Jesus into our heart as Savior and Lord, our sins are forgiven once and for all!

Here is a bonus sermon by Pastor Steve Smothermon of Legacy Church:

Blessings

Blessings: We often forget that everything in life, including life itself, is a blessing from God. As a man of faith I thank God during my daily prayer for all those blessings He has bestowed upon myself and my family. If you ever want to know just how blessed you really are? Just take a few moments to look around you. There are many people who are having a much harder time getting through their daily life than you are. Take time to pray for those people. Even though it may not seem like it to the casual observer, The Lord is taking care of them as well. We live in a world full of distractions. From cell phones to television our daily lives are filled with things that take our minds off our problems as well as God. I urge you to take the time to look around you. There is a beautiful world out there. Instead of watching another cute cat video, watch some children playing, look at a sunset or if you have the means take a walk in the woods. The miracle of God's creation is all around you and is a much more wonderful show than anything on the television or internet. Take every opportunity to disconnect from technology and grow closer to God through enjoyment of his wonders.
