It was gloomy and rainy when I got up this morning, but now the sun is shining brightly and it’s a beautiful day.  It paints a picture for me of what it must have been like for the friends and family of Jesus when they discovered that He was alive.  He is alive, and that is what we will be celebrating this Sunday.

We talk a lot about how Jesus died for our sins.  Well we should, because without that sacrifice we are lost.  But it is equally true that without the resurrection we are still lost.  Without the resurrection, His death was a pointless tragedy, depriving the world of the greatest treasure it has ever known.  Without the resurrection, our faith is just one more myth.  But Jesus did rise, and we have every reason to believe it.  Our text will be from the book of 1 Corinthians, Chapter 15.  I will read just a few verses, but the rest provides context.

I hope you will join us as we celebrate together.  There will not be a meal this year, but we will have a communion service.  Don’t miss this opportunity to bring along someone who might not come on any other day.  He is risen indeed!

Love y’all,

Larry
