CALVARY CHURCH WEEKLY NEWS | |
|
|
A week from Sunday, we will be celebrating the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ from the dead. To His followers, He still says, “Fear not, I am the first and the last and the living one. I died, and behold I am alive forevermore, and have the keys of Death and Hades” (Revelation 1:17–18). The authentic Gospel of Jesus Christ emphasizes a personal and growing relationship with the living Lord Jesus. Our faith is not to be static and passive but rather dynamic and active. As I said during last Sunday’s message, faith is not only the means by which we enter into a living relationship with Christ; it is the way we live day by day — trusting and obeying our Savior.
It is humbling to see how the Lord works in many ways in and through the people of Calvary Church. I praise God for those who gave generously, cheerfully, and sacrificially last Sunday. Lord willing, I will announce the total commitments to the Reach Welcome Grow building expansion project on Sunday morning.
This Sunday (and the Sunday after Easter), we will focus on God’s teaching on marriage and family. Our enemy is assaulting our marriages, homes, and families, so it is imperative that we understand biblical teaching.
Thanks to Greg Armbrecht and our Media & Communications team for their creative work in preparing a new Calvary app. This is yet another way we reach out as lights in our dark world.
