we all play different roles to different people in our lives you're a father or mother to someone you're a brother or a sister to someone you're a son or daughter of someone you're an encourager you're a confidant you're a prayer partner to someone we are all of these different roles but for a moment Saints I would like to talk to you about our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ Jesus Christ is our savior he's a savior to the Lost Jesus Christ is the bread of life to those who hunger he is the Fountain of Living Water
to those who thirst Jesus Christ is the Chief Cornerstone for every Godly home he is a strong Foundation when the enemy shakes your life Nahum 1:7 says the Lord is good a stronghold in the day of trouble and he knows those who trust in him David put it this way in Psalm 18: 2 the Lord is my rock my Fortress and My Savior My God Is My Rock in whom I find protection he is my shield the power that saves me and my place of safety dear friend in this day and age where there is
a lot of talk about artificial intelligence future pandemics and turmoil all over the world Saints I want you to know that nothing and no one else can ever replace our Lord no one can ever make him irrelevant Jesus Christ is still needed as a savior to the Lost he is still needed as a protector and a provider Jesus Christ is still a bridge over troubled water he is still the way the truth and the life and no one can go to the father except through him and so I want to encourage you follow Jesus Christ
live for Christ obey him love him be committed to him the Bible is clear Jes Jesus Christ died on a cross for your sins he rose from the grave on the third day and ascended to Heaven shortly after the Bible is clear that Jesus Christ is alive today and seated on the right hand side of God the Father the Bible is clear that one day Jesus will return and when he returns every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord with all of the Breakthrough in science and technology in this day
and age the Bible remains true when it tells us that there is no other way to heaven other than Jesus he is the way the truth and the life now I want you to pay attention to one particular passage of scripture in Philippians 3 verse 10 the Bible reads I want to know Christ yes to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings becoming like him in his death now what does it mean to know the power of his resurrection I believe that when you know the power of his resurrection then you
know that we serve a living God we serve a God who is alive the grave could not hold him and death could not contain him the Bible says in Revelation 1: 17-18 when I saw him I fell at his feet as if I were dead but he laid his right hand on me and said don't be afraid I am the first and the last I am the living one I died but look I am alive forever and ever and I hold the keys of death and the grave the Lord said I am the living one
all across the Earth there are people who worship other gods and Idols but none of their gods can say what Jesus said here he said I am the living one I died but look I am alive forever and ever and I hold the keys of death and the grave the good news that I have to give you today is that Jesus Christ is alive he still answers prayers today he still heals today he can still perform Miracles today if today in your heart if you'll open your heart and believe in Jesus Christ here is the
promise that we have in John 3: 14 and 15 just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness so the son of man must be lifted up that everyone who believes may have eternal life in him the Bible says everyone who believes everyone who believes in Jesus Christ will have eternal life my question to you today is do you believe now with the understanding that the Bible is clear his promises are clear and so with this singleness of mind that Jesus Christ is all he is everything to us let us go to the throne
of God with that determination in our hearts and with a praise on our lips Lord Jesus we want to take this time to praise you Hebrews 13:15 says therefore by him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God that is the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name May our lips thankfully acknowledge and confess and glorify your name always Jesus you're the Lord of lords you are the king of kings you are the True Vine and apart from you Lord we are nothing you are the light of the world and apart
from you Lord Jesus there is no hope Lord Jesus you are the resurrection and the life you are the only way to heaven and for us to obtain eternal life God we praise you because you are all knowing your ways are higher than our ways and what may be unknown to us it is known to you you know what tomorrow holds you know my beginning from my end therefore I need you God you are Jehovah Elohim our Mighty and strong Creator you alone can speak and create you are Jehovah Gyra we look to you for
provision you are Jehovah Rafa a God who heals I'm grateful because you not only heal physical wounds and diseases but you are a God who can heal emotional wounds you're a God who heals broken homes and who brings healing to broken relationships and so we need you father we need your peace in our lives you are wise in all your ways you are triumphant and you are Mighty I declare your word in 1 Corinthians 15:57 which says but thanks be to God who gives us the victory as conquerors through our Lord Jesus Christ I declare
your word in Romans 8:37 no in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us as your children God we are indeed more than conquerors Lord Jesus you loved us enough to die for our sins and because of your precious SA sacrifice on the cross because of the blood that you shed today we can say it is well we have the victory because Jesus Christ has overcome sin has no hold over us death has no sting in Jesus we are more than conquerors the spirit of fear it is conquered in Jesus
