Easter Sunday—Remove the Stone!
Easter is not just a religious holiday. It's a celebration of the most important past event in human history. And, it's the most relevant event for our present and future as well. There is so much to say about Easter or Resurrection Sunday. In this message, the focus is on three words that capture the heart and soul of what we should know about—and how we should respond to—Easter.
Good Friday—The Darkness of the Cross
Around the world on Good Friday, millions of people remember the brutal execution of Jesus Christ. Many will use some form of the Tenabrae service. Tenabrae is a Latin word that means “darkness”. Typically, seven candles are snuffed out one by one until the room is dark to symbolize the darkness of sin that had apparently won the day when the Christ was executed. The darkness that reigned over Jesus’ followers for three days until He stepped out of the grave and changed everything. Yes, we know what happened at sunrise on Easter Sunday morning. We know this story ends with an empty tomb, but we must not forget where it begins—at the Cross. Listen as we celebrated in a similar way. Nothing mystical. Just symbolism—but hopefully it will remind you of the great sacrifice of Jesus that set us free from sin and delivered us from hell. Listen and remember.
Love Feast—Testimonies
This service was a celebration—a Love Feast. A Love Feast is simply a fellowship meal which revolves around the Lord’s Supper—it is loosely based on how we believe Love Feasts were done in the first century church. The hope is that this will be a fresh way to worship God and build fellowship with God’s people and even minister to those outside our fellowship. We break from the routine on Love Feast days and on this day we listened to the stories of two of our families who are participating in foster care and have adopted several children. First you'll hear from Scott & Charity Harris, and then Jim & Madalon Vann. Enjoy.
