Pastor's Message
Did you complete an NCAA Basketball Tournament bracket this year?  March Madness is winding down to the Final Four teams.  After two more games, only one team will have defeated every other team they faced and win the Tournament.
 
On account of the corruption of our sin, we all face one common enemy, death.  The book of Revelation captures the entire message of the Bible, there is only One who faced death and won!  Jesus, the Living One, who was dead, lives!  When John stood before Jesus in all his majestic glory, John was so overcome by the holiness of the exalted Christ that he was struck down as dead.  By grace Jesus placed his right hand on John and tells him, "Fear not."  By grace John was raised up alive again.  By grace Jesus shares his victory with you.  Your battle over sin has been won!  Fear not, Jesus forgives you.  Fear not, Jesus holds the keys that will open the grave and make you alive again, forevermore.
