What We Affirm

As followers of Jesus, we are resurrection people.

Death holds no power;
God holds us fast;
Faith and hope define our lives. 
We will not be shaken.

Hardship will not discourage us.
Trouble will not dissuade us.
Stress will not overcome us.
Fear will not dominate us.

Our brokenness is being healed.
Our fallenness is being transformed.
Our tears will be wiped away.
Our heartache will be comforted.

Nothing can separate us from the love of God.
Nothing can rip us from the hand of God.
Nothing can keep us from the Presence of God.
Nothing can steal from us the blessing of God.

We are the resurrection people.

Our past is forgiven.
Our future is secure.

We do not dread suffering.
We do not avoid responsibility.
We embrace the cross of Jesus as our own.
We claim the victory of the resurrection for ourselves.

The Lord calls us, and we respond.
The Lord stands with us, and we rejoice.
The Lord strengthens us, and we rise up.
The Lord delivers us, and we celebrate.

Christ is our Savior.
He is our King.

We acknowledge our dependence.
We confess our commitment.
We declare our allegiance.

May the cross consume us.
May the empty tomb inspire us.
May Jesus guide us.
May His blessing rest on us.

We are the resurrection people.
