Outline: 

intro:
We all have scars.  Most of our scars are not on the outside, but on the inside.
What do we do with our “Hidden Wounds?”  We let God heal them. 
Healing is part of what God does in our lives
The Paradox: God does the healing, but we have to let him. 
-          That requires hard work on our part.
-          This is not easy, but it is worthwhile
Main Points:
1.       Admit Your Hurts
2.       Release those who hurt
3.       Find Support
4.       Change the monologue in your head
5.       Turn the hurt into help

What can we Learn about Death in light of Jesus?
1.      Death is a Result of Sin
             But Jesus took the Sting of Death
2.     Death is Powerful
             But Jesus took the Authority of Death
3.     Death is Defeating
             But   Jesus took Victory over Death
And it is a Simple Equation:
             Confess+ Believe = You will Be Saved
