Sermon Notes from Resurrection Sunday

Jeremiah 29:11
NIV- For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
NKJV- For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.
NLT- ...plans for good and not for disaster, ...
MSG- I know what I'm doing. I have it all planned out - plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for.

Brother Nick Vujicic, Life without Limbs, depicts penetratingly powerful and inspirationally encouraging in the video that there must be something more that we are all living for I began to hear resounding in my innermost being the WORD and meditation of more...
of great revelation for application is its meaning-
described in about nine different definitions, really only using three distinctions; 8:9 define the first two & is typically what we always mean, think, refer to, and want: 
1.  in greater quantity, amount, measure, degree, or number: I need more money.
2. additional or further: Do you need more time? More discussion seems pointless
But the third definition is where we can find significance today on Resurrection Sunday Celebration & Salvation:
3.  something of greater importance: His report is more than a survey.
Your life means and is worth something more (of greater importance) than your brokenness, pains, failures or successes, your pride, more than suicide, always doing extra, hating, or dying, or even not caring, or trying
when you come to believe and know Almighty God our Heavenly Father has Created your life as something more and has plans of peace & prosperity for you, a good future and hope. Then you will become more in importance 
“If you do not get the miracle, you can still become 
become more
Jeremiah 29: 12-14a
12 Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. 13 You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart. 14 I will be found by you, declares the LORD.

Matthew 7
7 "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. 9 Or which one of you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? 10 Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a serpent? 11 If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!
in importance, The HOLY SPIRIT, receive the Baptism of the Holy Spirit
Luke 11
13 If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!"

1 After these things the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision, saying, "Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward." 2 But Abram said, "Lord God, what will You give me, seeing I go childless, and the heir of my house is Eliezer of Damascus?" 3 Then Abram said, "Look, You have given me no offspring
Genesis 17
1 When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to Abram and said to him, "I am Almighty God; walk before Me and be blameless. 2 And I will make My covenant between Me and you, and will multiply you exceedingly." 3 Then Abram fell on his face, and God talked with him, saying: 4 "As for Me, behold, My covenant is with you, and you shall be a father of many nations. 5 No longer shall your name be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraham; for I have made you a father of many nations. 6 I will make you exceedingly fruitful
