Pastor's Weekly Blog

Dear Christian Friends,

Christ Is Risen! Alleluia!
He Is Risen, Indeed! Alleluia!

What great celebration I had with all of you Easter weekend - from Maundy Thursday through Easter Sunday we had meaningful fellowship and worship in remembrance of Jesus suffering, death, and resurrection for the forgiveness of our sins and eternal life. This is why Sunday was chosen by the early Christians for worship, because each Sunday was a celebration of the resurrection of Jesus. Through his resurrection we have undoubted proof that Jesus is our Messiah-Savior. He has power over sin, death, and the power of Satan. He died, so that we can live.

I am excited! This excitement causes me to act like Jesus to the people that I meet in my life each week . Sometimes this gives me the opportunity to tell them about the Savior of the world, Jesus and sometimes it takes more than one encounter. If we want the people we know (and I hope we all want this) to have forgeness and eternal life, then we should want to act like Jesus towrd tham and be ready for opportunities to tell them about Jesus' death and resurrection for forgiveness and eternal life.

I became very tired by Sunday afternoon. I needed a nap, and so I took one. The warm dry days helped a lot with my energy, so that I had enough to do all of the worship services on Holy Week. God is so good - He continues to provide exactly what I need when I need it. The storms that have been coming over the past few days are still an adventure for me, so pray for strength and tolerance. I do thank you all for the continued prayers.

In Our Resurrected Savior, Jesus,
Pastor Randy
