Right Now Conference- Chandler (Part 2)

Chandler led a second session titled, "The Great Cause", focused out of Luke 24:

We know the resurrection of Christ happened but do we know what that means? The resurrection was a physical event not just a spiritual event. So much changed after the resurrection: the disciples were cowards, then weren't; Jesus' family changed their belief and worshipped Him; worship shifted from Saturday to Sunday; the sacraments were introduced; communion was instituted.

Christianity spread rapidly in the 1st century, and not by the sword.

We look at the law as being bad, but David praises it. The law was given to keep us in line with God's plan, but we couldn't meet the requirements.

The cross saves us from, the resurrection saves us to.

There is no hierarchy in the Trinity. There is selflessness in the Godhead.

Be proactive in being ministers of reconciliation.

When not following our calling, we get bored and fall into sin.

If we don't change the way we live now, one day we will be embarrassed.
