What a weekend! It actually all started on Thursday with our Holy Thursday Service. It was so fresh seeing the history played out with live Disciples and Jesus sharing the Last Supper, as Steve shared the connection and significance of this Last Supper during Passover. It was an awesome way to kick off Easter weekend.
On Saturday was the Family pic-nic. So good to see families having fun together as the church. We had a great turnout and gave away 3 family trips to Disney World. So awesome!!!
We held three Easter services this weekend. The worship team consisted of two people involved in our Students Band. They did awesome. It was great connecting with families this weekend and being in the services with the adults. I missed teaching in Fusion today, but I value families being able to be together on Easter Sunday. Here is the outline from the Easter Message:
What it means to follow Jesus?
Follow His Example!
-who are you following?
-if you don’t decide someone will decide for you.
— James 13:17
— John 8:12
— Matt 7:24
-Two benefits of following Jesus:
— clarity
— stability
Accept His Grace!
– grace = god giving me what I need, instead of what I deserve
— Romans 5:17
— Romans 3:22
— Mark 10:15
Invest My Life in Him!
— Romans 6:13
— Matt 25:14-29
Trust His Wisdom and Strength
— Colossians 2:6
— Romans 8:28
— Philippians 4:13
– when you start worrying you stop trusting.
Hold on to His Promise!
— Hebrews 6:18
— Romans 8:38-39
— John 11:25-26
— 1 Peter 1:3-4
— Psalm 90:12
Hope you had a great Easter! My family sure did. We spent the day at friends house eating, laughing, playing guitar hero, jumping on the trampoline, and watching a little golf. Fun weekend for sure and great way to remember and celebrate all that Jesus has dome for us.
