Resurrection Playlist

"Remember Jesus Christ, raised from the dead, descended from David. This is my gospel, for which I am suffering even to the point of being chained like a criminal. But God’s word is not chained. Therefore I endure everything for the sake of the elect, that they too may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory." 

In chains waiting for his execution, Paul wrote the preceding words to a young Timothy. The letter contains a very warm, fatherly tone as the apostle is passing down his faith. The letter is littered with practical advice for the young leader. However, it also contains rich doctrine. Take for instance the very first sentence. In it you see both the deity and humanity of Christ affirmed: the deity of Jesus in the resurrection and his humanity as a descendant of King David. 

Our church, @thecreekchurch, is just kicking off a series on the resurrection. One of the first things my friend and pastor, Mike Augsburger, taught was that the cross and death of Jesus is meaningless without the resurrection and vice versa. You can't have one without the other. (You know, like love and marriage.) 

To go along with the theme of the resurrection, I have created a playlist that you can use during the series. These are all songs that teach us the impact that the resurrection has on our lives. We will also be playing this list on Sunday mornings as our background music. Let's make listening a collaborative effort. If you have a song that would fit the theme well, shoot me an email at cody@creekchurch.com. Check out the playlist below.
