Do you struggle with guilt and condemnation? Do you compare yourself to others and feel like you don’t measure up? Do you sing songs about Jesus, yet not feel any kind of emotion? Do you think it’s hard to live the Christian life? One of my new favorite songs is by Cody Carnes, who is married to Kari Jobe by the way. The cross has the final word The cross has the final word Sorrow may come in the darkest night But the cross has the final word There's nothing stronger, nothing higher There's nothing greater than the name of Jesus All the honor, all the power All the glory to the name of Jesus The cross has the final word The cross has the final word Evil may put up its strongest fight But the cross has the final word There's nothing stronger, nothing higher Nothing greater than the name of Jesus All the honor, all the power All the glory to the name of Jesus The cross has the final word The cross has the final word The Savior has come with the morning light The cross has the final word What is that final word? Well, let’s talk about the cross and how it impacts your life today. The Sin Problem Holiness of God Nature of God vs. Nature of Sin Addiction to Sin Consequences of Sin The Soul that Sins will Die The Heart of God God’s Love & Compassion Choosing to Satisfy His Own Wrath with His Own Son Loving His Enemies The Decision of Christ Do the Will of the Father Give Up His Life Take On the Sins of the Whole World Experience the Wrath of God. “It is Finished” The Triumph & Victory of Christ Death Defeated Wages of Sin Paid Power of Sin Broken Resurrection Power The Power of the Cross We died with Christ Our sinful nature is dead! It is against our nature to sin. When we sin, we can confess our sin and receive forgiveness. The Christian life is about surrender; not effort. Grace saved us & Grace enables us to live for Him. The Cross’s Final Word You are Forgiven! Your Debt is Paid! You are Free from Sin! You have an Advocate with the Father!
