The question we want to ask you, both today and in the coming weeks, is this:
In your life, what are the things that you need, perhaps desperately, that deep down, you know only God can deliver in you, for you, and through you?
Things like:
We invite you to prepare for Resurrection Sunday - Easter - with the expectation of Resurrection Power…IN YOUR OWN LIFE! Cards will be available each week for you to ask God in your prayer life, allowing our staff to pray over those requests with you.
But please, remember that this is about your intimate relationship with God when we ask, “What is it that you need that only He can fulfill?"
God encourages you to approach Him with boldness and faith—so don’t hesitate to ask for what you truly need!
"O LORD, you have examined my heart and know everything about me. You know when I sit down or stand up. You know my thoughts even when I'm far away. You see me when I travel and when I rest at home. You know everything I do." (Psalm 139:1-3 NLT)
"Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you." (1 Peter 5:7 NLT)
God doesn't merely tolerate our concerns—He treasures them because He treasures us.
"For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it?" (Isaiah 43:19 NLT)
"So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most." (Hebrews 4:16 NLT)
Forgiveness isn't for the weak—it's for the wise.
"For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will hardly die for a righteous man; though perhaps for the good man someone would dare even to die. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." — Romans 5:6-8 (NASB95)
"For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly." — Romans 5:6 (NASB95)
God doesn't forgive the worthy; He forgives the willing.
For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life." - Romans 5:10 (NASB95)
Our faithlessness never outdistances God's forgiveness.
"Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him." — Romans 5:9 (NASB95)
God doesn't forgive partially; He forgives permanently.
"And not only this, but we also exult in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation." — Romans 5:11 (NASB95)
God forgives you not just to make you better, but to make you new.
God didn't wait for you to get it together—He met you right where you are.
Forgiven people aren't just free from something—they're free for something
