This is the Chip Ingram Sermon podcast, brought to you by Living on the Edge.

In this podcast, you'll hear Chip's teaching unedited and from beginning to end.

Here's Chip with today's message titled, You Gotta Die.

Well, as most of you know, Easter is kind of the high day, the pinnacle of Christianity.

It's a message that you've heard, you've sung, it's about life, it's about hope, and it's about peace.

And if there's ever a time, I don't know about in your personal life, but in the world that we need life and hope and peace, I would say it's about now.

I mean, it's easy to kind of get focused in on your world and my world and my email and,

you know, my little kind of relationships, but the world is a messed up place right now.

I mean, we're living in pretty historic days.

I mean, did you ever, ever dream that there would be a group of people, a small group,

a minority who would think that, you know, they get an A from the God that they worship

by killing people they've never met?

That's the world that we're currently living in.

And we've got to get our heads out of the sand to realize

if there is a message that's real about life and hope and peace,

the world needs it now.

But it can't just be some religious little experience.

It's got to make sense.

The flip side of that is sometimes you don't even have to watch CNN or Fox or the network news

to see what's happening in the world. All you have to do is kind of look in your own home.

I don't know a lot of you very well, but if you and I could go get a cup of coffee somewhere

and say, hey, you know, tell me how you're really doing? And I promise not to tell anyone.
