April 8, 2012 - Easter Sunday

Sunday School
"After Salvation, Then What?"


  • Job asked, "Will man live again?"
  • Jesus said, "I am the Resurrection the truth and the life."
  • So we do have hope.
  • Everyone has to work our their own salvation.

Philippians 2:12-13 - Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed-not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence-continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you to will and to act according to His good purpose.

Romans 1:16-17 - I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile.  For in the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: "The righteous will live by faith."


  • God does not test us but proves us.


Ephesisans 2:5-10 -  God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions-it is by grace you have been saved.  And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with Him in Heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming ages He might show the incomparable riches of His grace, expressed in His kindness to us in Christ Jesus.  For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God-not by works, so that no-one can boast.  For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.


  • By My stripes you are healed.


Titus 3:1-8 - Remind the people to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready to do whatever is good, to slander no-one, to be peaceable and considerate, and to show true humility towards all men.  At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures.  We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another.  But when the kindness and love of God our Saviour appeared, He saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of His mercy.  He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Saviour, so that, having been justified by His grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life.  This is a trustworthy saying.  And I want you to stress these things, so that those who have trusted in God may be careful to devote themselves to doing what is good.  These things are excellent and profitable for everyone.

Sermon
John 20:1, 19-20
Subject: "This, Too, Is The Say That The Lord Has Made!"
Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the entrance.
On the evening of that first day of the week, when the disciples were together, with the doors locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said, "Peace be with you!"  After He said this, He showed them His hands and side.  The disciples were overjoyed when they saw the Lord.

Short clip from sermon.

  • Let the redeemed of the Lord say so!
  • Jesus paid it all
  • Jesus had told the disciples that He would lay down His life
  • We have joy unspeakable because of Jesus' sacrifice
  • God gave His Son
  • God has a plan for us
  • God has a purpose for us
  • God holds a future unimaginable
  • Because of that day of Jesus' Resurrection, when Jesus gave up His life that we may be cleaned of sin and have life everlasting, we are free of the old laws.
  • That was also a day the Lord made.
Happy Easter to all from Brown Chapel Church Family!!
