On Easter Day we enter into the Christian calendar, a season of Resurrection. As the body of Christ, in order to follow Christ, we follow as closely as possible the life of Jesus Christ (his life teachings and mission (redemptive purposes).[1] So we will study the topic of “Resurrection and Our Concerns” k'g?yfg / xfd|f] ;/f]sf/ For the next 7 weeks, until Pentecost, we will focus on the various aspects of the Resurrection, and it's meaning for our lives in the 21st century. Resurrection is often thought of in terms of a historical event in the life of Jesus Christ, and people debate over the validity, possibility, and its historical meaning, etc. But, as NT Wright says that Resurrection is not simply about proving a historical event or its logic, rather in his words, “The message of Easter is that God's new world has been unveiled in Jesus Christ and that you are now invited to belong to it.” NT Wright. Resurrection is a worldview matter, thus needs to be set in our lives Operating System. Its' something in your mind and heart's eyes, a telescope to see the world with a particular scope, an angle, a perspective (with its colors), like James Webb Telescope cameras that's observing the universe out there far outside our eye's sight. NT Wright says, “Resurrection is a view from future into our present”. It's a reliable account of what God has been cooking up since the creation, mystery now unveiled to us through Christ and his church. Wow, a whole new worldview, a perspective to consider (see Romans 8). Now we can read the whole Bible anew, from Christ's Resurrection and the New Creation perspective. We will do that in this series, possibly under these following topics, I call “Resurrection Curriculum”: a. Resurrection planted a seed of eternity in our hearts. Jesus said “I am the resurrection and life…” b. Resurrection of Jesus has given us a new worldview, a scope for all of life and world-view. c. Resurrection of Jesus is a deposit, guarantee of things promised, now with a guarantee. d. Resurrection is a signpost, showing us a direction towards God's future New Creation. e. “Hope is what you get when you realize that a different worldview is possible, the same worldview that is demanded by the resurrection of Jesus is the shift that will enable us to transform the world.” (75) f. “We believe in the resurrection of the body…” as we declare in the Apostles Creed.
Bible Reading: Romans 8:28-29; 2 Corinthians 5:17-21Trey was excited because today Grandma was finally going to teach him how to make her famous molasses bread. As Dad dropped him off and waved goodbye, Trey could already taste the rich, fluffy bread and the salty crunch of toasted oats on top.Grandma welcomed Trey with a hug and led him into the kitchen. They used sign language to communicate because Trey was deaf. Grandma signed "flour," "molasses," "yeast," and "spoon." Trey scurried around the kitchen to find the ingredients while Grandma started mixing. As they added more and more ingredients, a dark and gooey dough formed. Grandma placed a towel over the dough bowl before gently setting it in a sunny part of the kitchen."Why doesn't the dough look like bread yet?" Trey signed.Grandma smiled. "The dough must rise before it goes in the oven."That made sense to Trey. After an hour and a half, they checked the dough. It was double the size and very poofy. Grandma punched down the dough before laying it on the pan and putting it in the oven.Trey frowned. The dough still didn't look like bread. It didn't look tasty at all. Did Grandma forget something?He asked her this, and she replied, "Just you wait and see."When Grandma took the tray out of the oven, Trey was nervous. But the bread looked perfect, smelled perfect, and tasted even better than perfect.As they ate, Grandma said, "You know, making bread reminds me of what it's like to become God's new creation."Trey shrugged, confused. Grandma continued. "Before we put our trust in Jesus, we are like raw, scattered ingredients--we don't have a purpose. We are controlled by our wrong desires and deserve death because of our sin. But Jesus lived a perfect life, died on the cross, and rose from the dead so we could have new life and live with Him forever. Jesus gives us a purpose--to love Him and others and become more like Him. Just like the dough needs the oven to become bread, we need Jesus to be saved from sin and be made new."Trey nodded eagerly and took Grandma's hand to pray. Somehow this seemed even better than Grandma's famous molasses bread.–Hannah ChungHow About You?Have you ever baked something and wondered, "How do these random ingredients make something so delicious?" Without the oven, the dough would be raw and inedible. Similarly, we can only have true life by trusting in Jesus. When you trust Him to save you, God immediately makes you new! Trust in Jesus today and experience a new life of purpose.

(NKJV) (2 Corinthians 5:17)Today's Key Thought:Christ alone makes us new
Do you know who you really are in Christ? In this Sunday's message, "The Real You is the New You", Pastor Josh unpacks the powerful truth of 2 Corinthians 5:17—that if anyone is in Christ, they are a new creation. God is good, His Word is true, and it's in His Word that we discover both who He is and who we truly are. Our identity is no longer shaped by our past, but defined by what God declares is true. In Christ, the real you is made new. Recorded at Hope Church in Springfield, MO.

Through clear, biblical teaching and personal insight, Will exposes how poor religious practices can distort the gospel and weigh down believers with shame, fear, and obligation. But the message doesn't stop there. This sermon shifts gears into the liberating truth of the resurrection and the arrival of the New Creation. What does it actually mean to be a Christian? What does true loyalty to Christ look like beyond rules, checklists, or cultural Christianity? If you've ever felt disillusioned by religion or burdened by trying to “earn” your place with God, this sermon offers hope, clarity, and the freedom found in the risen Jesus.
What happens when we die? And what does heaven really look like? In this powerful Memorial Day weekend message, we explore the astonishing story of Casey Cleveland—a worship leader who suffered a massive stroke and experienced a profound peace on the brink of death. His near-death testimony offers a glimpse of something greater… but Scripture tells us there's even more.Drawing from Revelation 21, this sermon challenges popular ideas about heaven and paints a more hopeful, grounded picture: not of escape, but of renewal. A holy city. A world made whole. God's presence with us, forever.If you've ever wondered about life after death—or struggled to find meaning in the here and now—this message will bring comfort, clarity, and hope.

Nicodemus came to Jesus with a question: How can someone truly know God? Jesus replied, “You must be born again.” This rebirth is the moment of spiritual transformation, where we become new creations, able to know God intimately as sons and daughters.
Jorge has been at Arise with his wife, Ashley, since 2022. He has helped with worship, house church leadership, and now serves as an elder at Arise.

Drawing from Titus 3:1–8, it emphasizes that transformation is often a lifelong process marked by daily dependence on the Spirit, resulting in inward renewal and visible fruit over time.

The Whole New Creation: Spirit, Soul, and Body — Redeemed and Protected in MessiahExposing the Lies in Today's Deliverance MovementThis teaching confronts the false idea that only the spirit is saved at new birth, leaving the soul or body vulnerable to demon possession. It affirms the biblical truth that the entire person—spirit, soul, and body—is redeemed in Messiah.1. Salvation Is Whole-Person Redemption1 Thessalonians 5:23 – God sanctifies us entirely: spirit, soul, and body. Salvation is more than spiritual rebirth—it includes the renewing of the soul and the future glorification of the body.2. Stages of Salvation (Past, Present, Future):Justification (Spirit – past): Born again (Titus 3:5)Sanctification (Soul – present): Ongoing renewal (Romans 12:2)Glorification (Body – future): Resurrection to immortality (Romans 8:23)3. New Creation Means Fully Transformed Identity2 Corinthians 5:17 – In Messiah, old things pass away.We are not fragmented beings; in the Hebraic view, salvation touches every part of us.4. Born-Again Believers Cannot Be Demon-Possessed1 Corinthians 6:19 – Your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit.2 Corinthians 6:14–16 – Light and darkness cannot cohabit.Luke 10:19; Colossians 1:13 – Believers have authority and are transferred from darkness.Possession is not possible where the Holy Spirit dwells. Influence? Yes. Possession? No.5. Temptation Is Not PossessionBelievers may face external attacks (James 1:14), but nowhere does Scripture show demon possession of the redeemed.6. Walking in the Fullness of RedemptionRomans 12:1–2; James 1:21 – Renew the mind, yield the soul, offer the body in service.You are saved, sealed, and called to grow in maturity, not fear.Exposing the Roots of the False Teaching:False Claim: “Only your spirit is saved; your soul or body can be demon-possessed.”Rooted in: Pagan Greek dualism (Plato): Spirit good, body evilGnostic heresy: Secret knowledge frees spirit, ignores bodyNew Age mysticism: Rituals cleanse body/soul from “energies”These systems deny the biblical unity of the person and sufficiency of Christ's work.The Biblical, Hebraic View:• We are unified beings created in God's image (Genesis 2:7).• The Holy Spirit indwells the believer fully (John 14:17; 1 Cor. 6:19).• The whole person is redeemed, protected, and sealed (Ephesians 1:13).Conclusion:• This false teaching fosters fear, diminishes Christ's finished work, and opens doors to New Age practices dressed in Christian language.The truth:You are fully saved in Messiah—spirit, soul, and body.You are sealed, secure, and victorious over darkness.No demonic power can inhabit a born-again believer.“If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.” – John 8:36“Greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world.” – 1 John 4:4
John 20:1-10By His Resurrection God declared once and for all that Jesus Christ truly is the Resurrection and the Life and the dawn of a New Creation redeemed from sin and death and the curse for all who trust in Him.

All that is currently out of alignment in the new creation, cannot be connected to the darkness of the world. It must be connected to the absence of light that should be a secondary consequence of the image bearers being who they've been designed to be. Now we're learning of that glorious synergy between the new creation and the new creature. The Homestead Mobile - April 18th, 2025

The new creation has arrived and we are part of it in Christ. Therefore, we need to learn to see the present world as a place where we don't belong, because it is passing away.

We're experiencing a crisis of hope in our culture. The Bible is not the only story that offers some kind of hope. But the hope it offers is unique from every other story.
Romans 6:1-14. Whether one is a new convert to Christ, an old disciple of His, or outside of a relationship with Him, there are truths for everyone in Romans 6. In this study, Evangelist Jacob Holman looks at Romans to see what Paul wrote about being a new creation in Christ.
In the eighth episode of "The Cross," Duane Sheriff teaches that through Christ's sacrifice, we have become a new creation. The power of God demonstrated at Calvary conquered sin and fundamentally changed our spiritual DNA. We are no longer defined by our old nature in Adam but by our new nature in Christ.This truth goes beyond theology; it reshapes our true identity. In 2 Corinthians 5:17, Paul writes, "If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation." This important truth should influence how we approach our struggle with sin, perceive our self-worth, and make daily choices. God sees your new creation as righteous, holy, and beloved.Click for FREE offer ➡️https://pastorduane.com/the-cross/
