Dear All,

Last Sunday, we began the quarter by looking at Jesus’ Triumphant Entry. This Easter Sunday, our topic this Sunday is: He is Risen

Key lessons should include that:

1.     Jesus’ death on the Cross, burial and resurrection are established facts in history which cannot be altered, amended. The evidence is overwhelming and has stood countless scrutiny and controversies through the centuries. We who hold to it stand on good authority

2.     The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the foundation of the Christian faith. Without it, our salvation through Jesus Christ is incomplete. Because He is Risen, those who have found the risen Christ have nothing to be afraid of – not of sin and its damning consequences and power, not of principalities and powers. Jesus, by His death and resurrection, has redeemed us from all of them and more

3.     He is risen” means that Jesus was raised from the dead, and now is with God in heaven. It means He has overcome death as those who believe in Him will have eternal life. We who have believed in Him can boldly GO and TELL

May God enable us to gain a deeper understanding of the riches of His blessings which are ours because of Jesus’ resurrection.

Happy Easter

Dear All,

Though this quarter’s theme focuses on Nehemiah. We begin with a look at Jesus’ last week on earth in human form as is fitting with the season of Easter. Our topic this Sunday is: The Triumphant Entry.

Key lessons should include:

1.     When I say, “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord,” I am voluntarily, and fully, embracing the coming of, and the presence of, Jesus Christ in my life. I am proclaiming Him as my LORD. I am inviting Jesus as Lord and for His will to be done in complete disregard of what I prefer or like. I am asking Him to do it His was. I am surrendering completely to HIM.

2.     God saved us through Christ in a way contrary to what humans would expect – in total humility. When I sing ‘Hossana in the highest’, I am committing to allowing God to run His world His way and saying that I will humbly follow HIS leading.

3.     God clearly told us who the Messiah is – Jesus Christ of Nazareth and how HE will save us. We may not like it, but we cannot change it. Ours is to truly cry for His salvation. Not like those who loudly cried hosanna and the next day ‘crucify Him’
