From Our Pastor

Easter Season Challenge

For I resolved to know nothing while I was with you except Jesus Christ and him crucified.  . . . My message and my preaching were not with wise and persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit's power, so that your faith might not rest on men's wisdom, but on God's power.

1 Corinthians 2:2-5  

People today long for experiences . . . whether to experience love, pleasure, adventure . . . or even thrills tinged with fear . . . But they want it to be "real." Well, God IS "real!" And Jesus IS ALIVE! Easter is our season . . . the reality of the Risen Christ is our central message!

We praise God for the new reports of His power being displayed in people’s lives every week. We also praise God for the exciting growth that our church has experienced over this past year. With that in mind, we are going to be sharing a message series: "Experiencing God at Easter."

We believe that God will do marvelous things if we will pray and open our lives to the transforming power of the Holy Spirit. I am inviting you to join me in fasting and prayer in the weeks leading up to our Easter services especially with the following emphases:

• For the God’s blessing on our Sunday services.
• For God’s direction for our Easter season services
• For our special Easter offering - directed towards renovations of the church building
• For God’s guidance in inviting friends and family to the Easter services
• For “the demonstration of the Spirit’s power” in these services – To be honest, this is my greatest desire. I covet a real move of God during the Easter services! Most people attending will have heard the Easter message before . . . but the power of the Holy Spirit is what gives it life! Let’s press in . . . in prayer, in praise, in passion, in commitment!
• For unbelievers to come to know Christ and believers to deepen their commitment

My day to fast is Thursday. Would you join me in prayer and fasting at least one meal/one day per week from now until Easter? Let’s see what new thing God will do!

Building His Kingdom together,

Pastor Greg
