I love Mitchell, Tommy, and Karis. They’re a special part of our congregation and they have a special place in my heart - I’m thankful that God has allowed us to minister to them and their families.

My kids love this, and even better, my wife (the mom of my kids) loves this. And yes, I am thankful for my Mom who loved me and taught me much about life! Happy Mother’s Day!

I grow disappointed with Christian music some times. It’s not the tunes, not the style, not the instruments, but the content. So much of music (new and old) fail to take me to the character and nature of God and leave me in places that center around myself.

On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb. They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them. In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, “Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: ‘The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.’
Let us give thanks together.
Have a joyful Resurrection Sunday!
