Beyond the Cross

Jan 12, 2025    Pastor Duane Butler

Moving beyond the initial salvation experience at the cross to fully embrace the freedom, power, and love that comes with living in Christ's resurrection. Open the "gift" of salvation completely and live in the reality of being God's children.


Key Points:

The cross is a critical point in history and personal salvation, but we must move beyond it

Many believers struggle with past hurts, sins, and failures, preventing them from fully embracing God's love

God's love and forgiveness are complete; we don't need to keep paying penance for past sins

Living beyond the cross means experiencing restoration, power, dignity, and freedom in Christ

Receiving God's love is the solution to healing from past hurts and living in victory

We are children of God now, with an even greater future revelation of our identity in Christ
