Audio Download (click title to download) Unbelievable? 4 Apr 2010 am Luke 24 (The Resurrection - Easter Sunday) Bible reading Luke 24:13-35 Why do we find it unbelievable? Do we not understand what happened or do we choose not to believe? An encounter with the risen Christ that two followers experienced on the road to Emmaus. They were unaware of the battle that had been won over sin and didn’t see where the cross fit in with freedom for Israel. The eye opening experience of the unbelievable when we meet the risen Saviour.
We can come to faith, we can have asked Jesus into our lives and we can have a great testimony - but what does it mean to be a Christian? How can we develop as a Christian? G - Gathering with other Christians R - Reaching Out to others O - Obeying God W - Willing to give T - Talents used for God H - Hearing God Speak "When it comes to prayer for a Christian. Prayer is like oxygen in a fire. You deprive a fire of Oxygen and it soon goes out. Our Prayer is like the oxygen in our relationship with God. When we stop praying it dies."

Jesus starts with your hunger and then works to show you your spiritual hunger. Focusing on full life and not just full stomachs - finding food that endures. What do we focus on that we think will satisfy us? What do we spend our time on? What are we chasing? To discern whether or not we are chasing 'junk food' in our lives we should hold it up against God's word. But not just looking at verses that give us comfort but allowing God to really speak to us, challenge us and nourish us.

We are in the midst of a conflict. There are two forces pulling us in two different directions. A sinful nature pulling us back to our old life and then the Holy spirit challenging us against our sin. What does our sinful nature lead us into? Not just looking at sexual sin but also religious sins like idolatry where we put something in the place that God should occupy in our lives. What happens when Jesus saves us? The transforming power of the Gospel that produces the fruit of the spirit. The ultimate test of the Spirit's presence in our lives is our character. He utterly transforms us. He takes selfish, self-centred, prideful, lustful, critical, miserable people and puts love, joy and peace in our hearts. Patience, kindness, goodness into our relationships and faithfulness, gentleness and self control into our backbones - that is our wills.
