Sermon Notes 4/3 – Power of the Cross

Power of the Cross

Isaiah 53:1-5 & Zechariah 12:10

  1. The Cross brings Repentance

  • Repentance means to change one’s mind

  • Repentance is a requirement to be saved. Christianity is NOT a get out of Hell free card

  • When you encounter the God of the universe, give your life to Him. You cannot be the same, He changes you!!!!

 

  1. The Cross brings Healing

  • Two types of Healing

  • Luke 5:17-26

  • Spiritual Healing

  • Spiritual healing is salvation by faith in Jesus/ John 14:6

  • Christ has healed every sin!! He looks at you like you never sinned 1 time, it doesn’t even matter

  • Physical Healing

  • Matthew 8:14-17

  • Proves that you can have Physical healing because of what Christ did on the Cross

 

     3. The Cross Brings Power

  • The biggest thing I want us to remember is that not only is there power in the Cross but even greater power in the Resurrection

  • The Cross empowers us to walk in the power of the Holy Spirit

  • John 16:7

  • Jesus said that it is to our advantage that He goes so the helper(The Holy Spirit) comes.

  • The Cross empowers us to operate in the Power of the Holy Spirit

  • Jesus actually by saying this is telling us that we can experience Heaven on Earth

  • What does it mean to experience Heaven on Earth: To worship, to live in Peace in Joy even in the midst of trials in our life
