This fifth and last lesson of this series begins with a reminder of a host of Biblical characters defined by their tremendous faith in God, His word and His power. Pastor Allen encourages us through Scripture to know that the Easter event affords believers today an even greater faith.

Pastor Allen continues his series regarding the life-transforming impact of the Easter event, with even global dimensions. Christians acting like Christians is only possible because of Easter and all that its finished work affords in our lives.

This series further explores the ways in which Easter changed how we are able to relate to God. Pastor Allen’s thesis is that Easter redefined what it means to be the people of God and emphasizes the significance of this privilege.

Pastor Allen suggests how Christians, 2,000 years removed from the crucifixion and resurrection, can find it difficult to imagine the impact of those events, and that if we fail to recognize the significance of Easter; we diminish its influence in our own lives.

Easter changed everything…Jesus became our great High Priest, and today, His finished work places Him as man’s intermediary with God. Pastor Allen emphasizes not understanding the significance of the Easter event will hinder us from fully appreciating the benefits of being a part of the Kingdom of God through the redemptive work of Christ through the cross.

Pastor Allen asserts that we imagine only those who have not chosen a God-path need deliverance - the reality of Scripture reveals, however, that if God’s people are going to experience all He created us for, we must know Him as our deliver.

This series explores God’s character as our Rock, our Fortress, and our Deliverer. Pastor Allen shares that a part of our assignment as Christ-followers is to trust in God’s deliverance.

Freedom from fear requires wanting it with all of your heart. The final chapter in this series highlights the challenge of eradicating unhealthy fears that prevent us from entering into God-opportunities and developing essential fear – the fear of the Lord.

We tend not to speak of the fears that plague our lives, rather developing reactions to cover them. Pastor Allen shares that Jesus paid the price to “deliver us from all our fears” – specifically fear of the future.

The theme for this annual series is God’s Light and His invitation to each of us to walk into His light. This involves a journey and it is not a one-time event – a determined life-journey, walking out of the darkness and into God’s light as a ‘testimony to all nations’.

It is said there are people who make things happen, people who watch things happen, and people who wonder what happened. Pastor Allen suggests that we want to be a part of anything God is doing in the earth and learn to say to God, I want to be a difference maker.

A fresh run at life always brings energy and hope and an anticipation of what is yet to come. Pastor Allen invites us to a renewed God-perspective that will bring God’s best into our lives.

Pastor Allen suggests that believing something untrue about God can cause believers to settle for second best, and in the context of our faith, winning is better. He explores how to participate with God in such a manner that His best can come into our lives.
