Easter (2025)

EASTER

Pastor Aaron Sutherland  

I. THE LIVING CHRIST OFFERS US A FREEDOM FROM OUR PAST
Romans 6:6-7 (CEB) "This is what we know: the person that we used to be was crucified with him in order to get rid of the corpse that had been controlled by sin. That way we wouldn’t be slaves to sin anymore, because a person who has died has been freed from sin’s power."

II. THE LIVING CHRIST OFFERS US A PROMISE IN THE PRESENT
Romans 6:8-9 (CEB) "But if we died with Christ, we have faith that we will also live with him.  We know that Christ has been raised from the dead and he will never die again. Death no longer has power over him."

III. THE LIVING CHRIST OFFERS US A PATHWAY TO THE FUTURE
Roman 6:10-11 (CEB) "He died to sin once and for all with his death, but he lives for God with his life.  In the same way, you also should consider yourselves dead to sin but alive for God in Christ Jesus."
