“The Living Among The Dead”
Alleluia! Christ has risen! Yet, for the women discovering the empty tomb, they needed to be reminded that this was the plan all along: “Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here; He has risen!” As we once again celebrate our Lord’s resurrection, we find that our risen Lord is indeed among “the dead”: those dead in their sins and trespasses, needing their own resurrection. Having been raised to new life through faith in His words, we now find ourselves among “the dead”, seeking out those without life in Christ, sharing the Good News: “Alleluia! Christ has risen!”
Preacher: Senior Pastor Ben Roberts
Worship Leader: Associate Pastor Mark Stapleton

Old Testament Reading: Isaiah 65:17–25
Epistle: 1 Corinthians 15:19–26

Upcoming Message Series
Resurrection Revelations
Our Risen Lord Revealed From Now to Eternity
While our celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ happens on Easter, we still acknowledge that Jesus Christ is STILL “risen”, alive and well and “revealing” Himself to us even today. But if we wanted to see our risen Lord and Savior “revealed” in the world and our lives today, where would we look? The book of Revelation! Within this book, our risen Lord is described in various ways, each way not only describing who Jesus is, but how He is working in the present day until the day He comes again. In this Easter series, “Resurrection Revelations”, we will be looking at how Jesus is “revealed” in many and various ways as His glorious reign is worked out in our day-to-day lives and gives us hope for His coming.
Consider making a personal contribution to our Music Fund to support the music program at St. John’s. Donations to our Music Fund help support musicians for festive Worship Services like our Easter services. We thank you in advance for your generous support. -- Board of Worship
