Easter Sunday Service - Sunday, April 21st, 10:00am

 

As a person oriented towards light, I'm always looking out on the world and wondering why it has to be filled with so much darkness. The media, the movies, the novels, the music.... so much of what is popular is darkness and despair. Are we all just resonating with the human condition? IS this the human condition? That's not what I find in my faith...

 

There is so much freedom and release found in Christ! Martin Luther King Jr recognized it and spoke about having a dream, where all men are created equal and are free indeed. That's right out of the Gospel of John, chapter eight, where Jesus says that when a person follows after Him, "then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free." In that same chapter, Jesus said, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." Life, for a Christian, is a promised life of light and freedom; ever increasing the closer we understand and follow the Christ.

 

This Sunday, we commemorate that day, almost two thousand years ago, when this life of light and freedom was proved by the seemingly impossible fulfillment of Jesus - that He REALLY WAS part of the Godhead of Creation. That He and only He was, and remains, able to come back from the other side of death after three full days of it, show Himself to hundreds of people as proof, and by doing so hold out His nail scarred hands as an invitation to you, to me, to all of us, to join Him in eternal life.

 

Come join us this Sunday as we look at this still famous day in history, as we commemorate "Easter Sunday"! After Service, there'll be a fun Easter Story and Egg Hunt for the children as well!!
