"For God so loved the world..."

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life".  John 3:16.

This is the message of Easter.  All human history hinges on the person of Jesus Christ and the church has been charged with the task of proclaiming the resurrection of Jesus.  Don't miss this Easter as we join with Anthem Church and Common Ground Church to celebrate our risen Savior.  On this Sunday, we will have one service at 10:00am.  

The most important thing we can do to prepare for Easter is to pray.....

1. Pray that people would come and see their need for a Savior
2. Pray that the love of Jesus would be displayed in every part of our church
3. Pray for opportunities to invite
4. Pray for opportunities to share the love of Jesus between now and Easter Sunday 

Who will you share Easter with this year?

This Sunday, we will continue our series titled, Chosen.  With this series, we are focusing our attention on individuals and groups of people for whom our level of disdain varies.  People like Judas who betrayed Jesus, the Sanhedrin who despised him, Herod who mocked him, the crowd, who called for his crucifixion, and Pilate who appeases the mob and washes his hands.  And then there's this guy named Barabbas.  Remember Barabbas, the murderer, the rebel, the guilty who was set free while our Savior was put to death in his place.  Sometimes I wonder why his name is even mentioned.  What can we possibly learn from such an evil man.  Is there any redeeming value to knowing a little bit more about his connection to Jesus.  Join us this Sunday as we unpack God's incredible love for Barabbas.  If you would like to read ahead, the passage for this week will be Luke 23:1-25.

Hope to see you Sunday.
