Dear RiverTown Family,
EASTER! The long awaited day is here.
EASTER! Hell shuddered and the world trembled – the day the living Savior stood the dumbfounded world on its ear!
EASTER! The day Christ moved out of His very temporary residence into the best and worst of palaces – the human heart.
Beyond the shroud, beyond the blood and bandages, beyond the spices and the close, dank air, HE STOOD! Alive once more, He stood—in six full weeks of sunlight. Then on to heaven He went, sending His spirit into our hearts, making us alive forever. Now the living Christ rules where the best flags wave, in the interior castles of our hearts, but… He IS Here!
This Easter Sunday morning at RiverTown Church we celebrate Easter by offering Two Powerful Services, Two Different Sermons, One Resurrected Saviour!
That’s right, this year God has given me one sermon for the 7am sunrise crowd and a different message for the 10am service. My job from Jesus as a pastor has always been to listen to God’s voice the best I can and deliver His message to the best of my ability. This year He has given me so much that I can’t fit it all fit in one sermon. So, pick the time and message that fits best for your family to receive God’s love and His word. For those of you who just can’t get enough you can take advantage of both service times and all the exciting festivities in between.
“FROM DARKNESS TO LIGHT!” – 7AM Sunrise Service Message.
He was seen by Peter and then by the Twelve. After that, he was seen by more than 500 of his followers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have died. Then he was seen by James and later by all the apostles. Last of all, as though I had been born at the wrong time, I also saw him. 1 Corinthians 15:5-8 (NLT)
This message will show you how the light of the resurrection of Jesus fills each life it touches – both then and now!
“ONE DROP OF BLOOD!” – 10AM Resurrection Service Message.
Just think how much more the blood of Christ will purify our consciences from sinful deeds so that we can worship the living God. For by the power of the eternal Spirit, Christ offered himself to God as a perfect sacrifice for our sins. For without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness. Hebrews 9:14, 22 (NLT)
This message will dramatically drive home the point of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and His resurrection. Jesus willingly poured out every drop of blood in His body to cleanse you and me of our sins forever.
