Revelation 1:18; 2:28; 22:16-17
Christ is risen; He is risen indeed! Jesus is not only the central Person of history, the Bible declares that He's the Bright and Morning Star. The morning star is the most brilliant light in the eastern sky that shines just before the dawn and introduces a new day. The New Day that Jesus heralds is for every person who need the freshness of a touch from the living God.

Romans 8:11; Isaiah 53:1-10
In every believer's walk with the Lord, we face times when it seems like we're being cut off, perhaps by circumstances; or cut up, perhaps in our relationships. But God promises that if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in us, He will give life to our mortal bodies. It isn't about being exempt from the trials of life but learning to walk with Jesus through them to the freedom of deliverance, recognizing that He is the one who marks the timing on that. It's about abiding in the presence of the resurrected Jesus in the midst of whatever struggles we go through.

Philippians 3:13-14; Hebrews 12:1-4
Progress and victory depend on keeping our eyes on Jesus as we "press toward the mark." We are encouraged and empowered to run with patience toward fruitfulness and the fulfillment of God's purpose in our lives because of the "cloud of witnesses" who have already gone before us. <p>This teaching is Part 2 of the two-message series, "The Year of Advancement."
