Christ has Risen (He has Risen Indeed)

So this is it. This is the most important day in the Christian calendar. This is the day we celebrate the risen Christ. This is exciting indeed. This is how Jesus defeated sin and death by dying and rising again on the third day.

Famous Scholar and Theologian, NT Wright says in his book, Surprised by Hope:

"We should be taking steps to celebrate Easter in creative new ways: in art, literature, children’s games, poetry, music, dance, festivals, bells, special concerts, anything that comes to mind. This is our greatest festival. Take Christmas away, and in biblical terms you lose two chapters at the front of Matthew and Luke, nothing else. Take Easter away, and you don’t have a New Testament; you don’t have a Christianity... This is our greatest day. We should put the flags out."

Today is the celebration. Today, it is exciting. Do you know what these are? ... to find out go to http://sheepspeaks.blogspot.ca/2012/04/mark-161-8-dead-or-alive-what-do-you.html

 

 

Sarah-Grace's Palm Sunday Message and Song (She wrote and shared both)

Sarah-Grace (age 9) researched, wrote, and preached this message on Palm Sunday. She also led us in a song that she wrote so that we would not soon forget about Jesus riding into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday.
