The Power of His Resurrection

In this sermon, Lance emphasizes the profound spiritual truths found in Psalm 110, highlighting the significance of experiencing the power of Christ’s resurrection. He begins by reading a literal translation of the psalm, which speaks of Christ’s victorious reign, judgment of nations, and His eternal priesthood after the order of Melchizedek. Lance underscores that our responsibility as believers is to be a freewill offering in the day of His power, which requires understanding and experiencing the resurrection power of Jesus. He explains that the phrase "out of the womb of the dawn" symbolizes a new day and new life, emphasizing that believers are not just born again but are to grow into strong, renewed "Jews"—mature, vibrant members of God's army—who are refreshed and energized by the eternal life of Christ. Lance stresses that this new creation is entirely of God, rooted in Christ, and that believers must live in the reality of this new life, not the old. He advocates for a deep experiential knowledge of the resurrection power, which is essential for overcoming sin, death, and circumstances, likening it to a seed obeying the law of life to overcome obstacles. He concludes that to truly build Zion and fulfill God's purpose, believers must walk in the Spirit, experience the resurrection power daily, and be a refreshing presence to the Lord, drawing all resources from Christ’s life within. Lance calls believers to trust in the Spirit’s power, to die daily, and to walk in the newness of life, so that Zion may be built up in spiritual strength and unity.
