Hope you're having a great summer. Know that we're praying for you. We know God has awesome things in store.

So great having you with us. Enjoy the message today.

Joel and I were at a restaurant having a lovely dinner one evening. We had been sitting there for a while chatting, but we were ready to go.

So we called the waiter over to ask him for our check. And he said,

oh, I'm sorry. I should have been over here earlier. He said, there was a man in the corner

booth right there, and he already paid your bill. He paid the tip and all. He said, you guys are free to go.

Joel and I looked at each other, and we thought, man, that's awesome.

That's good news.

Somebody paid our bill.

But can I tell you today, there's a man who has already paid your bill?

He's already canceled your debt.

It is paid in full.

And his name is Jesus Christ.

See, we've been talking about it all day.

It's the Easter message.

It is finished.

It is done.

He has already created you in his righteousness when you are found in him.

He has given you the power of the resurrection.

Joel quoted it earlier.

The same power that raised him from the dead is alive in you.

You see, you've got resurrection power. God has given you mercy
