Note: This is the Easter sermon delivered by Don Splitt to the Sacramento Metro church of Christ on April 4, 2010.
John 20:1-9
-Do you truly believe Jesus rose from the dead as He promised?
Acts 2:1ff
-Several examples on how the Apostles changed after the resurrection of Christ.
-It is not good enough to acknowledge His resurrection, but we must live it out!
-It is like being kicked out of the nest; are you flying or waiting to build a better nest (i.e. prepared to live for Christ)?
Acts 4:23-31
-The Apostles prayed differently after the Resurrection.
-Every great deed for God is preceded by great prayer.
-How is your prayer life? Do things change as you pray?
"Praying men stop sinning, but sinning men stop praying." -Leonard Ravenhill, Why Revival Tarries?
I Corinthians 1:18
-The message of the cross is powerful for those raised in a new life with Christ!
Comment: This was not your run -of-the-mill Easter message about Christ's resurrection, but rather to call for us, as His disciples, to live for Him! -CEL
