Colossians 3:1-4; Ephesians 2:4-7

TEXT:  Colossians 3:1-4; Ephesians 2:4-7
INTRO:  The Resurrection of Jesus is more than a moment in history - it's the invitation to a new way of life.  We need to see and understand "the soul-transforming implications of grace - a comprehensive, foundational reorientation from living anxiously by our wits and muscle to living effortlessly in the world of God's active presence." (Eugene Peterson).  Today, we'll look at the victory of Jesus' resurrection and discover how we can daily join Him in that risen life - living with hope, walking in His power, and embracing a life worthy of the call.
