“Resurrection Revelations:
The Lord Who Comes
The Christian lives with this hope: one day, Jesus will come again. All sin, sorrow, sadness and death will be gone forever. What a day to look forward to! But another day rolls around…another round of sin, sorrow, sadness and death…and it seems like that “Day” will never come! As we finish our Easter series, “Resurrection Revelations”, we hear the promises of our risen Lord: “Behold, I am coming soon…” “Surely I am coming soon.” Even though it seems that His coming again is anything but “soon”, we can trust that Jesus keeps His promises. We know this because He is the crucified and risen One! And He keeps our faith strong when He comes among us in our baptisms, in His Word, in His supper, in His people. Assured of His love, we can truly pray: “Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!”
Preacher: Senior Pastor Ben Roberts

GOD CREATES A BEAUTIFUL GARDEN ! 
Hop aboard our Bible Time Machine and travel back hundreds of years to see the beautiful garden God created long ago. God gave all the creatures he had made a special place to live, the Garden of Eden. Close your eyes and imagine this wonderful garden where everything was perfect, just as God planned it. We'll go exploring in Sunday School and learn more about God's creation!
