The Preparation | The Journey To Resurrection, Part 1

Sermon: "The Preparation" | The Journey To Resurrection, Part 1Scripture: Luke 22:14-30Speaker: Pastor Peter SeideDate: February 28, 2021• No journey is more painful and more lonely than what Jesus endured for us.• The empty tomb reminds us that though life is filled with many trials, God’s purpose for his children always ends in glory.• As we prepare to take a difficult journey, we have to chart the course ahead.• There’s a part of us that naturally resists God’s place in our lives.• Like any healthy relationship, what God really wants is our hearts.• Sin is not just what we do, it’s our attitude towards God.• The only way for us to be gathered to God’s kingdom, is through Jesus’ body being broken and his blood being poured out for us.• If we’re going to deal with the traumas of life, we have to look forward, trusting in the goodness of God.• As we prepare to take a difficult journey, we have to lookout for the people traveling with us.• We can get so consumed with soothing our pain through vices, that we close our hearts off from being there for the people that need us the most.• True leadership is a commitment to serve. It’s not about being great in people’s eyes, but secure enough with who you are in Jesus that nothing is beneath you.• Our relationship with God is tied to one another, and we’re never more truly like Jesus than when we’re serving each other.• Serving is the bonding agent of a community.• Either we’re serving the people in our lives, or allowing our trials to make us more inward.• When the path in front of us seems too dreadful to bear, the one who walked through the deepest valley, is traveling with us.Connect with The Crossing Church:WEBSITEFACEBOOKINSTAGRAMYOUTUBE
