KEY PRINCIPLES FROM THIS MESSAGE:

What’s the greatest news you’ve ever heard?

The deception of self-reliance can only be rooted out of the hearts of men by the power of God, Himself!!

Death is insurmountable.

It's in realizing the magnitude of the situation (the impossibility of us overcoming death) that helps us rejoice in the power of God's grace in our lives.

Death is insurmountable…but not for Christ (who IS God).

Christ overcame death because you were incapable of it. And being baptized into union with Him at salvation means you have also been baptized into His death and resurrection!

If it weren’t for Christ’s resurrection, your faith would be in vain - you’d remain dead because Christ would’ve never overcome death, itself.

What happens when the all-powerful One is also gracious and merciful??
