Isn’t there just something beautiful about spring? Whether a person lives in a warmer climate or they’ve endured months of snow and high winds, there’s just something about this time of year that is exciting and life giving.

Spring is also an exciting time of year as we celebrate the death, burial, and resurrection of our Friend and Savior, Jesus Christ! Without a doubt, when coupled with His birth, these two events have shaped this world in ways one cannot even imagine as His life impacted so many in that day, as well as down through the ages.

Extremists in some parts of the world would like to eliminate the voice of the Christian. This means persecution for some and even at times, paying the ultimate sacrifice with their lives.

Have you ever stopped to think of what a world without God’s people would look like? I don’t know about you, but that’s a thought I wouldn’t want to dwell on for too long. Sin running rampant without any resistance would not be a world I would want to live in.

The Bible tells us this in John 10:10;

“The thief cometh not but to steal and to kill and to destroy. I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.”

Fortunately, our God is an awesome God, who is an incredible Giver.

God gave His Son to this world as we know from John 3:16, and then Jesus gave His life for the sins of all humanity. Regardless of who they are, where they live, or the seriousness of their transgression... Jesus gave His all!

In this post-resurrection season I would like to encourage you to journey with us as we continue to worship, serve, and share the good news of the Risen Christ.

Gracefully yours,
