Hey Friends,

This is a great week to seek the Lord. In all recent surveys in America, more people than ever before do not see Easter as a “religious” holiday. You and I are watching the secularization of our society! Scary? The America we grew up in is rapidly being replaced with a secular state. Some, to be sure, celebrate in this news and yet the bulk of Christ-followers are broken and want to make a difference.

My challenge to you is to seek the Lord while He may be found. I love Easter. It is a great time to seek the Lord and celebrate the historical fact of the resurrection from the dead by Jesus. This was God’s AMEN to His truth. Romans 1:4 says, “Who was declared the Son of God with power by the resurrection from the dead…”

If you are a Christ-follower it is time to celebrate! As we worship and God transforms us we become more of what the world needs. That is when the Lord can open their eyes to the joy and peace that is found in the heart of the redeemed. Let us reflect the glory and goodness of God in the way we live. Remember that the same power that raised Jesus from the dead is alive in you. You have the power to walk in freedom.

Easter is a great time to invite people to church with you. In this season they are just a little more open. Now is the time to ask again. Go ahead and step out in faith and ask. What can it hurt? This could be the time God has been working toward in them.

Let’s prepare our hearts to celebrate that our Lord rose from the dead, no matter what the world does. We get to go to heaven because of His sacrifice and resurrection. Praise His Name!

He is risen, He is risen indeed!

Love,

Pastor
