Unstoppable and World-Changing!

Review / Intro:


The Four Crucial Elements of the World-Changing Message:


  1. Jesus Christ had to die for my Sins. (Acts 17:3)

    Romans 5:19 - For as by the one man's disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the one man's obedience the many will be made righteous.

Four Reasons Jesus Had to DIE for My Sin:

  1. To be my Sacrifice. (John 1:29)

  2. To be my Propitiation. (1 John 4:10)

  3. To bring Reconciliation. (Romans 5:10)

  4. To pay for my Redemption. (Mark 10:45)

  1. Jesus Christ had to rise from the dead to give me Life. (Acts 17:3)

    Four Reasons Jesus Had to RISE from the Dead:

    1. Because He Said He would. (Luke 18:32-33)

    2. Because the Old Testament Promised the Christ would rise. (Psalm 16:10)

    3. Because that's how He gives His Righteousness. (Romans 4:25)

    4. Because that's how He gives His Eternal life. (1 Corinthians 15:17-18)


  2. Jesus Christ has to be my King. (Acts 17:7)

    Luke 6:46 - Why do you call me 'Lord, Lord,' and not do what I tell you?



  3. There is a Cost to following Jesus. (Acts 17:6-9)

    Matthew 16:24 - Then Jesus told his disciples, "If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me."

    John 13:16, 15:20 – a servant is not greater than His master
