Happy Easter Week

After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb. There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it. His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow. The guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men. The angel said to the women, ‘Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples: ‘He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.’ Now I have told you.’ (Matthew 28:1-7 NIV)

As we enter Easter weekend, there are thousands of churches all around the world that will be sharing this Easter message.

For many believers, this will be a familiar reminder that Jesus is alive and there is hope that far exceeds what this world can offer. Potentially, this will also be a message to those that are spiritually curious, and their eyes and ears may be opened for the first time, as they realize that God loves them, and Jesus is the Resurrection and the Life!

How You Can Pray

Would you take time this week to pray with us: For your church, your church staff and for all to be reminded of the hope that is found in Jesus? Would you also pray for God to use some of our new churches and staff as they bring this message of hope this weekend?
