In a service featuring powerful music and brief messages from all 3 pastors, we celebrated the resurrection of our Savior last Sunday morning. Each pastor took a piece of the redemption story, as we pondered God’s extravagant love, humankind’s need to be saved, Jesus unimaginable sacrifice, and the power of the resurrection that raised Jesus and made His church VICTORIOUS. The service began with Pastor Chris sharing about the story of creation, the fall of humanity, and God’s love for us that caused him to send his very own Son. Pastor Craig then asked, “What does a man dying 2,000 years ago have to do with me?” He shared the brutal story of the crucifixion, explained the nails that held Jesus to the cross, and spoke of the blood sacrifice that saves us from our sins. Pastor Zack then took us from Good Friday to Resurrection Sunday; from the cross that saves, to the resurrection where God gives grace and the fullness of life. The challenge was to get beyond the mercy of the cross and to live in the fullness of power we find in the resurrection. Each one of the pastor’s messages was transitioned by a congregational song that helped express the truth of the story. At the conclusion of the service, several people came forward for prayer and we all entered into an emotion filled time of singing songs of celebration. Church, JESUS IS ALIVE! Live in the power of his resurrection!
