Easter–Celebrating the Gift.

Our Easter Cross at FBC.

Easter at First Baptist Church was an awesome time of celebrating the risen Lord. I do believe this Easter has been more meaningful and real to me than any other year. Is it because I'm growing up? I'm not sure. Whatever the case is, this Easter was just great! God is so good. We really don't deserve the gift which God has given us.

Maundy Thursday–a time of reflection.

It's here. This is the time of the year where we celebrate Jesus' resurrection from the dead. This past Maundy Thursday service was very moving and helped us to truly concentrate for 35 minutes of our busy lives on what Jesus did for us. There is some sort of connection with God which occurs when we spend time with Him. I guess that is no revelation, but to have it occur sure reminds us of how much we do need to spend time with Him. 

The service is available on DVD if you missed it. I would advise you to get a copy from the church office. Our lives are too full of situations and issues which pull us away from God, this service sure helped me to draw closer to Him. That is what true worship is. It's not about preferences in music or in oratorial style. It's about focusing on God and His presence. 

I hope your Easter Sunday is a great time of worship and celebration. God is great and He loves us! Amazing love!
