It reshapes how you see yourself, your life and the world around you when you learn what God sees as "The Living Room."
You and I are the Temple of God. It's not a bad idea for us to look around to take stock and see what kind of shape this house is in. Christian is not just something we call ourselves, it's who we are.
There is nothing in the world that offers what I can only find in Jesus - the promise of the resurrection, the promise that I am forgiven, the promise that this faith matters and has a foundation in truth.
Ever feel like you're nobody, because you listen to the devil, the world or even what goes on in your own head? God's grace says you are His child, the empty tomb confirms His love for you! You ARE somebody!
When you look at your life, it looks average. Jesus is IN the average - look for Him. When life doesn't make sense - look for Jesus there. And one day, we will see Jesus in all His glory - for eternity!
You, Yes You Matter! With God's people, it's not about 1 person or group. All of God's people are united and that means "Everyone Matters."
How does your standard for beauty, value and significance match with God's? God calls us into His upside-down way of living and to truly embrace being "Pretty Ugly People."
Before & After
It's amazing the transformation that can take place between when a project begins and when it ends. God has promised that you get to experience the most incredible transformation, "Perfection."
1) Jesus rescued us to give us eternal life and to give us our lives back!
2) Death is scary because we weren't created to die. But God uses death to serve His purpose. When we die, the old sinful nature is stripped away.
3) We live knowing that life will not always be the difficult struggle that it is today.
4) In the same way our spirits are sanctified, our bodies will be sanctified. We will have a resurrected body like Jesus' resurrected body.
5) How would you live if you knew you couldn't die?
How Do You See Yourself?
Jesus has transformed your future. That means you have a new identity, purpose and life now. You get to live with a "Victory View."
? What Now?

?? Because we live in a sinful world we will always have troubles in this life. But what are we to do when it seems as if we face one crisis after another? This weekend we seek the answer to the next nagging question as presented to us in 1 Corinthians 10:11-13.

Rerouting. Ever been using your GPS, missed a turn, and then been chewed out by that little digital voice telling you to turn around? As frustrating as that little piece of technology can be, what a blessing it is that it stops us from going the wrong way! This weekend we studied 1 Corinthians 15:33 and learned how God will sometimes reroute us because He has given us a "New Direction."
Do the math. What is one plus one? Easy, right? This weekend the apostle Paul gives us a simple math lesson regarding the resurrection. It is a simple equation but the answer means everything. Our next Resurrection Question is based on 1 Corinthians 15:12-19 as God has Paul provide the answer to the question "My Life Changed When"?
