Summary

This is not the first crisis that God’s people have walked through. For the people who believed in Jesus, the Easter narrative is a full-on crisis...until they get to resurrection morning. That evening launched a unique season in Jesus’ life and in the lives of His followers. We know very little about that forty-day window except that Jesus met with His closest followers and taught them about the Kingdom of God. Then Pentecost came, and they were Spirit-filled with a new boldness to speak the truth about their Lord. Easter, and the lesson of this season’s shaking, is far more about the person of Jesus than about a virus. Pastor Allen Jackson says, “We are walking through a crisis, but God is delivering us. His Spirit will be poured out in the season that we have seen beginning. The question is about your response and mine. What will we do? Will we cooperate with Him?”

0:00.0	If Jesus is not at the center of our story, if we don't believe he's the
0:08.4	incarnate son of God, if we don't believe God sent his son to the earth in the fragile package of a child,
0:16.0	that he grew to adulthood, that he ministered, that he offered himself as a sacrifice on a Roman
0:22.2	cross, that he died physically, that he was
0:24.9	buried, raised to life again.
0:26.8	If we don't believe those things, it isn't Christianity no matter what the label by the
0:30.0	building says. Hey guys, this is Alan Jackson Ministries.

0:46.9	encourage you to be a more fully devoted Christ follower,
0:49.8	leave us one of those five star ratings.
0:52.0	Hopefully that will help others find out about them as well.
0:54.8	Now it's on to Pastor Allen. Be blessed.
1:02.4	Amen. Good morning, church. We have made it to Easter morning. Some weeks ago there was questions about that.
1:09.0	You know, I suppose that the adversaries of Christianity think it's a wonderful thing that churches are closed today.
1:15.9	They don't know my boss.
1:17.9	The spirit of the living God is not diminished in his activity in the earth and we may be gathering
1:22.2	in a slightly different format than we're accustomed to
1:24.9	on Easter weekend, but the power of our God is not diminished, nor the significance of
1:30.1	the privilege we have of being together. I am honored to have this time with you.
1:35.0	I hope you're gathered in whatever way you can, observing the rules that we've been
1:39.3	handed in this season. Our separation physically does not diminish the presence of God in our midst.
