   There is no pain that His purpose cannot redeem.
   Friday is about WARRING.

   Saturday is about WAITING.
   a. You want answers
   b. You begin to doubt
   c. You give up
   d. You feel alone
   There is no confusion that getting close to God cannot comfort.
   Psalm 73:16-17, 28 NLT

   Sunday is about WINNING.
   JESUS: He doesn't just offer resurrection.  He is resurrection.

Palm Sunday: Resurrection Mentality | Pastor Mark Harrell | Play/Download

The cross was an event and is a process in our lives.
The Resurrection was an event, but it has on-going potential in our lives.

Faith looks back to the cross.
Hope looks forward to the Resurrection.

Hope and a Resurrection Mentality:

1. Does not get frustrated because of a lack of perfection
   Philippians 3: 1-13
   Philippians 1:6; 2:13
   
   
2. Focuses on the fact that I am on my way to Heaven
   Philippians 3:13-21
   
   
3. Rejoices in the Lord always
   Philippians 4:4-7
   
   
4. Chooses a resurrected mind
   Philippians 4:8
   
   
5. Has a "Can do attitude"
   Philippians 4:13
   
   
6. Supports through the tithe, outreach, and missions
   Philippians 4:15-19
   
   
7. Is thankful that you will live with the Lord forever and ever
   ​Philippians 4:20
   

Fasting: One with Another | Pastor Mark Harrell | Play/Download

Private Fast:  Matthew 6: 16
Corporate Fast:  Acts 14: 23
Purpose of the Fast:  His presence more than anything else.

Areas of prayer to include in the fast:

1. Easter Season
2. Movie Night, Wednesday, April 12, 7:00 PM

8. Who are you inviting to each opportunity?

Three unique stories:

1. Moses.  Exodus 17: 12
   Physical obedience brings a spiritual release.
   
2. Elisha and his servant.  II Kings 6: 16-17
3. Daniel.  Daniel 10: 2-14
   I at no desirable food.  I became the man greatly desired.

There is a difference between God's love and God's favor:

• His love is unconditional.
• His favor is initially given as a gift but its increase is dependent upon our stewardship.

Let's persist in prayer for the next three days and beyond.  Do this not to persuade God, but rather we change in the process and the spiritual environment changes in the process.
