From the Pastor's Heart

Church Family, 

 

Romans 2:23 says, "You who boast in the law dishonor God by breaking the law." Here Paul was calling out the Jews who thought their heritage made them righteous and better than the Gentiles, which promptly and repeatedly shuts down. And this verse shows one simple reason why. To say it another way, Paul says, "who cares if you claim the law when all you do is go around breaking it!" And the fact is that we cannot boast in the law either, because we all break it. We are not perfect, thus, our boast is in the cross! 

 

As for announcements, this coming Sunday we will be observing the Lord's Supper during our morning worship. I want to encourage you to be there and be prepared. If you have little ones who are unable to partake in the elements, maybe take some time between now and Sunday to talk about the Lord's Supper as a family and explain it to them so they get it when they see it on Sunday. Remember, this ordinance is a gift God gave us, but like many things, we get out of it what we put into it. Let's cherish and honor the time this Sunday. 

 

Second, the church egg hunt is just around the corner! Don't forget to bring back any eggs that you may have filled with candy, and if you haven't grabbed any yet and you are able, then please grab some on Sunday! Also begin praying and inviting others to this event. This is a wonderful opportunity for us to share the gospel with many families this Easter season. 

 

Finally, like last year, our Easter services will be as follows: 7am Sunrise Service -- Breakfast in the FLC -- Easter Service at 9am. We will not have Sunday school or our regular service at 11am on Easter. So if you come to the sunrise service, plan to eat with us, and then you can hang around and fellowship before church at 9! I love every Sunday, but Easter Sunday is especially fun, and I'm looking forward to it. I hope you are as well. 

 

With that, I'll see you on Sunday!
