Christianity rises or falls on the resurrection story. If Jesus didn’t rise from the dead, our faith is a fraud…our sermons are delusional. Did you know there are two resurrections? There is the resurrection of the just and the resurrection of the unjust. From the foundations of the earth, Jesus was destined to die on the cross, so that we could be redeemed and receive the gift of eternal life. The best news the world ever heard came out of a cemetery. He is risen!
[Music]
here’s the resurrection
story late Thursday night 2,000 years
ago following the Passover meal with his
disciples Jesus of Nazareth was praying
In The Garden of Gethsemane just outside
the eastern wall of Jerusalem his
disciples slept as great drops of
crimson blood formed on his brow he was
carrying the weight of your sin and my
sin on himself at that time in agony he
looked toward God the father and said if
it is possible let this cup pass from me
and then he said nevertheless not my
will but thy will be done you are never
going to accomplish anything truly in
life until you decide to live by God’s
Will and not yours your will must be
crucified his will must live Jesus went
to his disciples who were sleeping and
he asked the
question why could you not watch with me
for one hour the point is the disciples
were sleeping in history’s most
dangerous hour are we we not doing the
same thing right now in America America
is in a moral spiritual political crisis
and the Church of Jesus Christ is
sleeping Church of Jesus Christ in
America listen to me from coast to coast
all 50 states it’s time to wake up and
to stand up and to speak up for Jesus
Christ Our blessed
hope
suddenly through the olive trees there
are seen 500 Roman soldiers in full
battle gear they surrounded the Lord Of
Glory they charged into the garden
saying we seek Jesus of
Nazareth and Jesus simply said I am he
and they fell to the ground like dead
men think about that Jesus said no man
takes my life I lay it down r
could not convict him the cross could
not conquer him the grave could not
contain him Satan could not defeat him
why because he was and he is and always
shall be king of all kings and Lord of
all Lords the Conqueror of death Hell In
The Grave give him praise in the house
of
God Jesus is
standing and the Romans all 500 of those
battle geared Warriors or laying on the
ground powerless who’s in charge here I
assure you it was Jesus Christ the son
of the Living God Jesus was and still is
the mighty conqueror Judas the
deceiver Judas The Devil’s Advocate
Judas who cherished money more than his
relationship with Jesus Judas betrayed
Jesus with a kiss Peter slashed off the
ear of the servant of the high priest
why because the servant of the high
priest was a Jew and according to the
law of Moses he could not serve in the
temple with a physical defect and with
that physical defect Peter had just
destroyed his career is it not true that
we as Christians are most often offended
and wounded in the house of our friends
Jesus response
was he healed the ear of that servant
which was his last miracle He restored
his career and he said to Peter put up
your sword put up your sword I think if
the Lord Jesus could speak in a lot of
pull pits today he would say put up your
sword I have not come to destroy with a
sword I have come to bring hope I have
come to bring peace I have come to bring
joy one for the other the power of life
life and the power of death is in the
tongue and the message to the church
should be because we are peacemakers God
knows America needs more peacemakers
because the Bible says blessed are the
peacemakers for they shall be called the
sons of God it’s high time for the
church to stand up and speak up for
righteousness and reclaim the moral
foundations for this
nationes Jesus was taken to pilate whose
Men of War slapped him on the face they
spit on him they gave him a crown of
thorns they ripped off his seamless robe
and mocked him with a Scarlet robe
saying hail King of the Jews Jesus was
sent back to pilate now a second time
where he was beaten with a cat of nin
tales with 39
Stripes it was 39 Stripes by Roman law
because it was considered a deaths sence
if you receive more stripes than that
listen in the theater of your mind as
you hear the Roman cat of nin Tales the
whip that’s laced with bone and steel
rip open the back of the Son of God it
was for you and for you and for me and
for those of you who are watching by
television across American around the
world the Crimson stream of blood that
flowed down his back onto the
Cobblestone floors by his Tripes we are
healed say that with me by his stripes
we are healed Hallelujah to the Lamb of
God that the healer is alive and well
and in this
church he was sentenced to death by
crucifixion an Old Rugged Cross was
placed upon his bloody back and he
dragged it through the cobblestone
streats of
Jerusalem as Jesus was dragging his
cross to golgatha he saw Jewish Mothers
weeping for him beside the road and he
said Daughters of Jerusalem do not weep
for me but weep for yourselves and weep
for your children and weep for your
children’s children because Jesus being
God looked into the future and he saw
the future he
saw that the Romans 37 years later were
going to surround Jerusalem and 1
million Jewish people would die he saw
the eight Crusades sponsored by the
Roman Church that from Europe to
Jerusalem and Jerusalem back to Europe
were destined to slaughter and to steal
from the Jewish
people he saw the Spanish Inquisition he
saw the horror of the Holocaust where 6
million Jews were systematically
slaughtered up the bloody slopes he
climbed to the place called Calvary
where atheistic hands nailed the
precious hands of the Son of God to the
Cross get this timeline Friday afternoon
April the 3r 33 ad at exactly 3:00 Jesus
Christ the son of God bowed his blood
soaked head adorned with a crown of
thorns and he shouted it is finished it
is finished and he bowed his head and he
died what was finished Satan power to
control your life was finished death had
lost its power to control
you demon powers lost their power to
control you because of the Cross there
is now total Redemption I don’t care
what you have done the blood of Jesus
Christ can cleanse you and give you a
new beginning and give you a brand new
start
[Applause]
because of the Cross there is total
forgiveness there is Mercy with the
Lord and for those of you who feel
self-righteous that you don’t need Mercy
the Bible says God renews his Mercy
every day because everybody here fouls
up at least once a
day there is a new beginning There’s
Hope For Tomorrow there’s peace in the
midst of the storm there’s joy that’s
unspeakable and full of Glory now the
seed of the woman has crushed the head
of the serpent and as promised in
Genesis 3:15 Satan his angels and Arch
angels all of his demonic forces have
been totally defeated they are bound in
chains by the Son of God who has
defeated him at the cross Hallelujah to
the Lamb of God before for Sundown on
the Sabbath which was Friday his
followers took down his blood soaked
body from the cross and wrapped it in
burial clothes with a 100 PBS of spices
and laid him in the borrowed tomb of
Joseph and
arthea think about this Jesus Christ the
son of God who has and controls all the
riches in the world who created the
world when he died was buried in a bared
grave
all night Friday night Saturday and
Saturday night The Giver of Life lay
dead in a tomb demons rejoiced that he
whom they feared was now dead
politicians especially the Romans
gloated we have shut up that
Troublemaker From Galilee his jabber
about an eternal Kingdom his jabber
about being King of the Jews who does he
think he is who does he think he he is
America is asking this question today
who does he think he is so listen up you
Godless Legions that are listening right
now he’s the Conqueror of death Hell In
The Grave he is the great physician he
is the way maker he is the chain breaker
he is the Lamb of God slain from the
foundations of the earth he is the lion
of the tribe of Judah he’s the judge Jud
of all the Earth and he’s going to stand
on Judgment Day and let you give an
account for your
life sometimes we get so caught up in
the busyness of the day-to-day that we
forget to do the simple things in life
such as exchanging a friendly greeting
with our neighbors it is time to be
God’s love in action like the Good
Samaritan we are called to love our
neighbors as ourselves does your life
reflect his truth we are called to be
Salt and Light our actions and
Lifestyles need to reflect the light of
Jesus to those around us we are a living

bread but the greatest question that you
must
answer is Jesus Christ the lord of your
life does he live in
you death was still all powerful the
grave was dark and gloomy and an
unconquered pit follow this timeline
then came the morning of the third day
Friday from 3:00 it began he was taken
down from the cross before Sundown which
would be 6 Saturday from 6:00 in the
morning to 6:00 at night was the second
day Sunday after Sunrise began the third
day it was on the third day that he was
to rise the third day was the rosy dawn
of Hope itself the third day was the
resurrection morning on the third day
the angel swooped from the balconies of
heaven and roll The Impossible Stone
away and if there are impossibilities in
your life recognize that the Risen
Savior gives you the power that nothing
is impossible to you on the third day a
blinding flash of light a massive
earthquake and the Roman soldiers are
again falling on the ground like dead
men trembling in Terror on the third day
out of the darkness of the borrow tomb
walked Jesus Christ the light of the
world he came out as the Lord Of Glory
he is the Lamb of God he is now the lion
of the tribe of Judah he is the Fest of
10,000 he is the Alpha and the Omega the
first and the last the one who was dead
is now alive the Conqueror of death Hell
In The Grave give him praise he ex
out the prophet Hosea in Chapter 6: 2
says on the third day he will raise us
up the resurrection that we might live
in his sight follow with this verse a
day with the Lord is of a thousand years
and A Thousand Years is as a day that’s
how God measures
time so day one beginning from AD and BC
from year 1 to 1,000 is day
one from 1,000 to 2,000 is day
two from 2000 forward is the third day
and on the third day he’s going to come
and to receive us unto
[Applause]
himself how do you know preacher that’s
true there are about 12 real solid
reasons that take a book to tell you but
let me give you three in 30 seconds
Israel has been reborn Jerusalem has
been reunited with the Jewish State the
knowledge explosion that Daniel spoke of
being the end of days has happened
ladies and gentlemen of the Church of
Jesus Christ look up pack up and pray up
because we’re going up in the twinkling
of an eye Give the Lord
praise the Angels asked the troubled
followers of Jesus do you remember what
he
said do you remember what he said the
angel said he told you that he would be
delivered into the hands of sinful man
be crucified and on the third day he
would
rise then the Bible says they
remembered all of these things get this
for three days they had been weeping
they had been feeling defeated they had
been disillusioned if only they could
have remembered what Jesus said listen
before there is a resurrection there has
to be a
crucifixion before there is a sunrise
there has to be a
sunet before there is a victory there
has to be a fight before there is a
crown there has to be a cross before
there is a purchase there has to be a
cost do you remember what he said in
times of stress we forget the sweet
Promises of God and there are 3,000 of
them in the Bible telling you how much
God wants to do for you how sweet life
could be
if we could just simply remember what he
said when you feel lonely when you feel
rejected when you feel abandoned
remember that he said I will never leave
you nor forsake you even to the ends of
the Earth if your mother and your father
forsake you I will lift you up are you
suffering in your health remember what
he said these signs shall follow them
that believe in my name shall they lay
hands on the sick and they shall recover
he is still the healing Jesus and he can
heal you and the healer is in the house
today give him praise in this
place the resurrection story is the
story of Faith over
failure the resurrection story is how to
turn your worst day into your best day
Focus your attention to the thief on the
cross he’s one heartbeat from hell he’s
been a criminal all his
life and he hears Jesus talking about a
kingdom and he simply says remember me
when you come into your kingdom and
Jesus said this day you shall be with me
in Paradise I want to tell you something
Church we’ve made coming to Jesus
entirely too
complicated entirely too
complicated God gave his son that every
one of you may have eternal
life but you must confess that Jesus
Christ is the Lord of your life before
that eternal life becomes
yours that
Thief this was his worst day but he made
it his best day because the moment he
closed his eyes he opened them in heaven
in
Paradise think about that for 100 years
Good Friday was called Black Friday it
looked like the worst day in history for
Christianity because Jesus Christ The
Giver of Life was dying the Healer was
called a heretic the deliverer was said
to be a demonized deceiver the great
Shepherd was involved in great Scandal
the Lord Of Glory was called a liar and
a lunatic by the Roman government I will
tell you the Roman government had their
fake news and so does America you start
doing anything that really pleas es the
Lord and you’re going to make somebody
unhappy in the fake news division it was
called Black Friday it appeared to be
the worst day ever at 300 p.m. in the
afternoon the black clouds were boiling
in Fury over the cross the ground Shook
and dead men walked out of their graves
in Jerusalem Jesus wasn’t the only
person who came alive on the
resurrection morning the people in
Jerusalem walked out of their graves so
that the whole city would know that
Resurrection was for every man who would
receive Jesus
Christ the veil of the temple was split
in half meaning that now you gain access
to God by yourself you do not need a
priest to help you reach God the veil is
ripped and you can go directly into the
Throne of God the father in the
authority of jesus’ name farked tongues
of lightning splashed the black Heavens
the Son of God who commanded winds and
waves the Son of God who healed lepers
with a touch of his hand who raised
Lazarus from the dead with three simple
words he was hanging from a Roman cross
he’s caked in blood he is naked in shame
and disgrace the high priest mocked him
saying if you are the Son of God save
yourself
and he
didn’t because he couldn’t save
you and you and you and
me and save
himself had he saved himself there would
be no salvation for us he would just
have saved
himself but he was the lamb
slain for our
Redemption When You Close Your Eyes in
death you wake up in heaven because
Jesus has paid the price for your
Eternal salvation Give the Lord Praise
in the
house there are people who say well if
the resurrection is such a wonderful
story why isn’t in the Old Testament it
is in the Old
Testament if you would read it as much
as you read the newspaper you know it’s
there the story of the resurrect ction
does not begin at the Garden tomb it
begins in the first Covenant we call the
Old Testament job received this
Revelation he said for I know that my
redeemer liveth and that he shall stand
at the last day upon the Earth after my
skin has been devoured by worms yet in
my flesh I shall see God whom I shall
see for myself and my eyes shall not
behold another that’s the story of the
Resurrection from the dead and totally
recovered Daniel received the revelation
of two resurrections listen closely and
many of them that sleep in the dust of
the Earth shall awake some to
everlasting life and some to shame and
everlasting contempt and they that be
wise shall shine with the brightness of
the Stars forever Daniel 12 2 and 3
Jesus gave the revelation of two
resurrections he said in John 5 for the
hour is coming in which all who are in
their graves shall hear his voice and
shall come forth they that have done
good unto the resurrection of life and
those who have done evil unto the
resurrection of damnation there are two
resurrections the resurrection of the
just those who have received Jesus and
the resurrection of the unjust those who
do not receive Jesus that Resurrection
is
1,7 years after the return of Christ the
issue is you must know the Lord the most
important thing in your life is do you
know Jesus Christ as your personal
savior because the 70 80 90 years 100
years 120 years Moses lived that long
compared to Eternity it’s a snap of your
finger the day will come when all you
will have is what you’ve invested in the
kingdom of God the message of the
Resurrection changed the world the
message of the New Testament Church and
with great power gave the apostles
witness of the resurrection of the Lord
Jesus Christ acts 433 why were so many
thousands coming to the church because
of the Resurrection Story the message of
the first century Church Christ has
risen and Jesus Christ is Lord say that
with me Christ Christ has risen and
Jesus Christ is Lord the message of the
21st century church at Cornerstone
Church is exactly the same Jesus Christ
has risen he is alive he is my personal
savior do you know him do you know him
do you know him what changed the lives
of the disciples the resurrection of
Jesus Christ Give the Lord praise and
[Applause]
glory

have made some bad decisions and I want
to invite Christ into my life today as
Savior and

and know that I’m going to be there
forever the thief did it with one simple
statement remember remember me when you
come into your kingdom you’re in this
room and you’re not certain that you
