Becoming - Week One
Matthew 28:1-10
Becoming: new
it’s not just believing it’s becoming
Resurrection means God is not finished with you
Matthew 28:1-10
Now after the Sabbath(s), toward the dawn of the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb. 2 And behold, there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled back the stone and sat on it. 3 His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow. 4 And for fear of him the guards trembled and became like dead men. 5 But the angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. 6 He is not here, for he has risen, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay. 7 Then go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead, and behold, he is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him. See, I have told you.” 8 So they departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to tell his disciples. 9 And behold, Jesus met them and said, “Greetings!” And they came up and took hold of his feet and worshiped him. 10 Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid; go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee, and there they will see me.”
With God, the end is never the end.
There is always resurrection
1. The resurrection is bigger than your doubts
God is not afraid of your doubts. He meets you in them
2. The resurrection changes who you are
On the evening of that day, the first day of the week, the doors being locked where the disciples were for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.” 20 When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord. 21 Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so
I am sending you.”
John 20:19-21
3. The resurrection reorders your life
4. The resurrection seds us on mission
The empty tomb demands a decision
The GOSPEL:
The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the good news that God, in His love, sent His Son Jesus to live a sinless life, die on the cross for our sins, and rise again in victory over death. Through faith in Jesus, we are forgiven, reconciled to God, and given the gift of eternal life.
This gospel calls us to repent, believe, and follow Jesus as Lord, living transformed lives by the power of His Spirit.
