RESURRECTION SERVICE APRIL 21, 2019

Only the one service that day – 10:45 A.M.

(No Sunday School or Sunrise Service)

I would like to invite you to our Resurrection Service on April 21, 2019. We have a few special things planned, but it will be the unplanned things that will mark the day. For one thing, I believe you will be able to fully understand the meaning of the message and will see an immediate application to your life.

Sometimes the message gets lost in the event of a special church worship service like this. At my second Easter service, after I became a Christian, I was very happy to see one of my brothers there. I was excited that he might really understand the message.

The preacher did a sermon about hypocrisy on Easter, using Isaiah 1 as his text, hoping to get a few backsliders in church by guilt. He never got to the one passage that could have helped;
Isaiah 1:18.
” Come now, and let us reason together,” says the Lord, ” Though your sins are as scarlet, they will be white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they will be like wool.” I would have liked to have heard the truth of that verse, and God’s reasoning and actions to make it a reality for my brother and others.

The choir sang. Could not understand a word of it. I ask my brother later and he said as much. I ask if he understood the sermon and he said no. Now before you get your nickers in a twist, it was not just the lost condition of my kin, it was clearly all the lingo used that few can really explain. Wouldn’t you like, just once, for someone to stop and ask, right in the middle of a service, ” So what does that mean? I am not getting this at all !”

I am praying that this could be a service you could bring your friends to, and they say at the end,” I understood that, and I know what I need to do.”

I pray the unplanned things of God can be noticed, as they see your love for God shine through. What if we came with real expectation?

Jesus coming back from the dead into a new and different life is our only hope. I pray for everybody in our church family to come that day. Just a time to reflect upon the clearest historical event that rocked this world and made sense of it.

All the “ultimate meaning” questions are answered in that resurrection of Jesus Christ. Who am I? What am I here for? What is my final destiny? All these things and more are answered by the resurrection event. Come and find out the proof of the resurrection and the current experience of knowing Christ is alive and can live in you.

Lazy Birds

I don’t play any video games. It is probably a good thing to play some video -type games, but I just am not interested at this time. I do wish I had all those quarters back that we used as a family in the arcades at the mall. I had mastered “Tron.” My kids had mastered all the karate ones. My wife thought she could take it or leave it till “Mrs. Packman” and the mechanical “Whack-A-Mole” came out. By the way, a curse on whoever thinks that the screen version of “Whack-A-Mole” is worth playing!

I did like playing “Angry Birds” when that was around, and in the real world you do occasionally come across a disagreeable bird. However, I have yet to come across a lazy bird. I know there are the kind who steal food and a nesting place from others, but even that takes some effort, at least.

When I say lazy bird, get a picture of a robin standing up next to a streetlight, mid-day while others are working, beer in one hand, and a pack of cigs rolled up into one of the sleeves of his t-shirt. For you old dogs; (no pun intended) James Dean; with feathers.

I was in my office looking out the window one day. Wondering and praying with intense worry,(which means I was only talking to the ceiling) about how we were going to get through the next few months. A robin was working , right outside my window. He begins pulling a worm out of the ground. He was so close I stopped moving so as to not scare him away. I marveled at how busy he was! He was not lazy, and certainly not angry!

Yes, He was not lazy, but boy was he helpless to make those worms be right there, at the right time! It turned my thoughts from the hard- working bird to the provisions for the bird. No matter how active he was he could not supply food for himself. It helped answer a question for me.

How much do I do, and how much does God do?

This passage came to mind and it brought such peace over my soul, and has brought continued peace over my being ever since.

” For this reason I say to you, do not be worried about your life, as to what you will eat or what you will drink; nor for your body, as to what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?

Look at the birds of the air, that they do not plant, nor do they harvest, nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they?

And who of you by being worried can add a single hour to his life?

And why are you worried about clothing? Observe how the lilies of the field grow; they do not toil nor do they spin, yet I say to you that not even Solomon in all his glory clothed himself like one of these.

But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, will He not much more clothe you? You of little faith!

Do not worry then, saying, ‘ What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear for clothing?’

For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.

So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” Matthew 6: 25-33 JWP
