Death Brings New Life | ryan peterson

04-20-25It’s a great time of year when new life springs from the ground and from the trees, but let’s not forget that it comes after a season of being dormant, buried, and often dead. We love new life, new things, and birthing the next, but God never skips over the process that He set up at the beginning; that life doesn’t come until after death. There is no resurrection without death, and there is no empty grave without a cross. The most significant event in all of history has taught us one thing: God brings life after death. We have an opportunity to “die daily” by picking up our cross to prepare our hearts for this eternal reality in heaven. If we skip the process now, we might find ourselves in a less desirable situation later. During the busyness of Easter, be mindful of God, and pay attention to what He might want to prune in order for more lasting fruit to come from your life.You can find this weeks sermon notes and groups guide here: https://gracechurchsp.org/resources/sermon-guidesTo support this ministry and help us continue to reach people all around the world click here: http://www.gracechurchsp.org/giveFill the city with Jesus.
