    Get Out of The Graveyard!

    Ephesians 2: 1 - 10
    Romans 3: 23, 6: 23, 10: 9 - 10, 10: 13 - 15
    James 1: 14 - 15
    2 Corinthians 9:8

    1. We were dead...but God made us alive with Christ
    2. We were enslaved...but God raised us up
    3. We were under wrath...but God seated us in the Heavens
    • Does our generation really believe in Heaven?
    • We were spiritually dead and lifeless due to our sin and the sin in our lives
    • We all have free will which means that we all have a choice and decide whether or not to obey
    • "But God" signifies God's intervention in our lives
    • Mercy is not getting what we really deserve. Apart from Him we all deserve hell and death.
    • God's love for us motivates Him and He loves us in spite of what we do.
    • Grace is getting what we don't deserve, a free gift, not something that we earned or did to receive it.
    • One of the purposes of our salvation is to do Gods works. Before we were born He had a plan, a good and perfect plan, for our lives.
    • We've got to allow God to interrupt "our" plans and take the time to see the ways and areas where God is at work in our lives.
    • God gives us everything we need to carry out His plan for our lives.
