THAT CHURCH MAGIC

Teens aren't the only ones who are pumped!  They come back from retreats and camps and are bursting at the seams!  So are those who believe in Jesus' resurrection!  We are pumped!  That is the magic of the church!

When one believes whole-heartedly that Jesus lived, died, and arose again, the most fundamental truth to all of life is now engaged.  Every disorder, every dilemma, every threat is diagnosed and solved in the resurrection of Jesus. 

The Bible insists we possess resurrection power...not just for the cemetery, but....for everyday living. 

And if Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, yet the spirit is alive because of righteousness.  But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells--present tense--in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies--not the immortal ones from the graves--through His Spirit who indwells--present tense--you....Romans 8:10-11.

When we believe this to be true....there cannot help but be magic in the church!
