Next steps: Sunday, April 24 sermon

Good morning.
 
The Resurrection is for real! Jesus is alive, and our lives must reflect it. So, what are the next steps God would have us take after hearing his word on Sunday?
 
The Resurrection message was from Luke 24:5, titled, "Business As Usual Is No Longer Acceptable."
 
1. Can you accept the complete transformation that resurrection calls for, or are you merely settling for "resuscitation?"
2. Can you accept the complete transformation that resurrection calls for, or are you merely trying to "remodel" the arrangement of your life?
3. Can you accept the complete transformation that resurrection calls for, or are you simply "reacting" to a good feeling you have?
4. What new ways, new ideas, or new paths is resurrection power leading you on now?
5. Pastor Pierre DuPlessis said, "We are comfortable with a dead, crucified Jesus; a living, resurrected Jesus causes too much trouble." How much trouble are you willing to let Jesus cause in your life, if you experience resurrection power?
6. What questions/thoughts/convictions were raised in your mind after hearing this sermon? How is God speaking to you now?
