“Resurrection Revelations: The Lamb Who Reigns” |
|
When your life is less than ideal, you are going through tough times and sin continues to “rule” over you, how do you expect Jesus to act? Truth be told, all too often we expect Him to “rule” our lives with power. We expect Him to “reign” with might so that our suffering will end. But as we continue our Easter series “Resurrection Revelations”, we are given a vision of the heavenly choir praising Jesus: “Worthy is the Lamb who was slain!” Jesus shows His strength and power, but as the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the whole world. Because of His death on the cross and His glorious resurrection, Jesus reigns in lowliness and grace, revealing His salvation for the whole world. Even in the midst of sin and tough times, we can shout with praise because Jesus, the Lamb of God, rules over us with His love and mercy. |

-A faith paper
-Weekend Message Notes, "Central Thoughts", and more!
Everyone is invited to a reception between the 8:00 and 10:45am worship services to get to know our confirmands and their families. They will then be welcomed into communicant membership during the Rite of Confirmation at our 10:45am worship service. Pray, support and welcome our confirmands!
