Pastor's Heart
Spring is in the air. Flowers are blooming, trees are budding,
and birds are singing. As I think about spring time, I thank God for new
life and a fresh start. My prayer is that today would be the start of a
new day of a new life for you.
The Bible speaks of new life in 2 Corinthians 5:17, "Therefore if any
man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away;
behold all things are become new." It is when a life is in Christ that
it becomes new. It is the power and presence of Jesus Christ in the life
of an individual that makes all things new. Just as the sun begins to
shine producing life in the springtime, Jesus shines in our hearts
producing love, joy, peace, and a new life!
On this first Sunday of April may the light of God's Word shine upon
your heart that you might be strengthened and encouraged to grow in the
grace of Jesus Christ. One week from today, over two-thousand years ago,
the Light of the world, resurrected from the tomb and brought the hope
of eternal life to everyone.
Let me encourage you to come celebrate with us this risen Savior, Jesus
Christ. He is our hope, our help, and our healing.
