Love that Ends Our Fears — EASTER, 2023

[God,] You don’t stay angry forever; You’re glad to have pity and pleased to be merciful.

Micah 7:18c-19a

The enormous love of God gives us the best gifts: freedom from fear forever!

That’s the reality that is our because Jesus is alive and His life means our life, our freedom, the death of all our fears – forever!

What a joyous day!!

CHRIST IS RISEN!! HE IS RISEN, INDEED!! ALLELUIA!!

Scriptures

  • Mark 16:1-8

“CHRIST IS RISEN! HE IS RISEN, INDEED! ALLELUIA!!”

This is the great shout for Easter; the highest day on the Church calendar!

On this day we celebrate the victory of Jesus over sin, death, and the power of the devil. All that He went through and endured is over and exultation and joy remain.

And for all who have faith in Jesus as their savior gain the same victories He won! Our sins are gone and forgiveness takes its place. Death is gone and everlasting life takes its place. Pain and anguish are bound to this life only and joy eternal awaits.

The resurrection of Jesus is the sole event to which all of history hinges. All of the old testament points to its coming and all since draws meaning in the light of it.

If Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins.

1 Corinthians 15:17

Without the resurrection everything else would be pointless and moot!

Come and be with us to celebrate this greatest day of the year and see how Jesus, though His resurrection, changes everything – for you!

Love So Humble in Obedience

Jesus riding into Jerusalem “triumphantly” on Palm Sunday must have been strange.

Yes, He was entering as King, but He was also entering knowing that before the week’s end, He would be abandoned, denied, suffer ruthlessly, and die horribly.

Of course, He would also share a Last Meal with His disciples, conquer sin, death, and the devil, but the bad coming would still have be endured; and that wasn’t something to look forward to.

Yet He did it.

Willingly. Humbly. Obediently. Lovingly.

His love for us was showing through His obedience to the Father’s will.

That’s just amazing!

“Enter, Lord Jesus, into our hearts and help us love so obediently as You did!”

Scriptures

  • John 12:12-19
  • Philippians 2:5-11

O LOVE, How Deep, How Broad, How High

Our sermon series for the Lenten season is, “O LOVE, How Deep, How Broad, How High.” It is based upon a series by the same name ©2021, by The Rev. Dr. Thomas Egger, president of Concordia Seminary, St. Louis (used with permission).

In this series we will explore the vastness of God’s love for His people, the lengths that He went through to assure our presence with Him eternally, and how that love affects us and our living.

I hope you’ll join us!
