Help, I Can't Breathe

Summary: Sermon that challenges believers to look within themselves and make sure that their worship matches their walk
Somewhere there’s a prison where the chains still bind. There, but for the grace of God those walls would still be mine. So, for all the captives I say:
This is how it feels to be free, this is what it means to know that I am forgiven. This is how it feels to be free to see that life can be more than I imagined. This is how it feels to be free.
Conclusion:
Notice, the 3rd person is a perfect person. In any church today – this person is not in the pews – He resided on the earth, but died on the cross, rose from the grave, and ascended to Heaven to prepare for you and I a place – because of His great love for you and I. He suffered pain and anguish for our sins, our failures.
You and I are works in progress – If you’ve trusted Jesus – the canvas of your life is being painted. If you’ve never trusted Jesus – the canvas of your life is black – sin-filled – no visual impact of life. Friend – a new beginning is in order for you!
Salvation is not a game or a ritual – it is a way of life
It is not about your title; it’s about your testimony
It is not about your wants, your views, etc.; It’s all about what Jesus/God wants!
Trusting Jesus to be Lord and Savior of your life is simple.
Friends – do you want to breathe this morning?
Let everything that hath breath, PRAISE THE LORD!
