What a glorious day to be celebrating the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ from the grave!  Up from the grave He arose with great power for He had overcome the world through faith!  We also, through His resurrection, have received great power to live the abundant life now in times of great turmoil and confusion!  I am excited about the lesson this morning which is taken from 1 Peter 1:3-9, titled “Born Again to a Living Hope…”  Brethren unlike any other people on the face of the earth, as Christians, we possess the power in the present to be filled with great rejoicing and joy inexpressible with a future filled with praise, glory, and honor at the return of Jesus to take us home to heaven!  Who in their right mind wouldn’t want this kind of life now and into eternity?  This powerful life can only be obtained through the faith, hope, and love that are found in Christ Jesus!  

In this sermon we will proclaim His great salvation and new birth in being united with Him in His death burial and resurrection!  We will discover the source of power that grants us the ability to greatly rejoice and possess joy inexpressible now in this present age!  We will also see the great power of His love for us in giving Himself as a propitiatory sacrifice and our love for Him as we humbly, faithfully, sacrificially serve Him!
