Victory In Purpose - The Resurrected Life - Walnut Grove 5/18/25
May 16, 2025

BIG IDEA: Resurrection power doesn’t just redeem your past - it releases you into your purpose.

2 Corinthians 5:14-15 (NLT)
Christ’s love controls us. Since we believe that Christ died for all, we also believe that we have all died to our old life. He died for everyone so that those who receive his new life will no longer live for themselves. Instead, they will live for Christ, who died and was raised for them.”


Compelled By Christ’s Love

A New Creation, A New Identity

2 Corinthians 5:16- 17 (NLT)
So we have stopped evaluating others from a human point of view. At one time we thought of Christ merely from a human point of view. How differently we know him now! This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!


2 Corinthians 5:18-20
And all of this is a gift from God, who brought us back to himself through Christ. And God has given us this task of reconciling people to him. For God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, no longer counting people’s sins against them. And he gave us this wonderful message of reconciliation. So we are Christ’s ambassadors; God is making his appeal through us. We speak for Christ when we plead, “Come back to God!


A Ministry of Reconciliation

Your purpose isn’t to sit and soak in the forgiveness you’ve received, it’s to go and extend it to others.

Ambassadors of the Kingdom

Ephesians 2:10
For we are God’s workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

Your purpose isn’t something you have to find. It’s something you’re already carrying. —Neil T. Anderson
