Easter

We are fast approaching our most holy celebration, the celebration of the death, burial and resurrection of our Lord, Jesus Christ. For it is not Christmas that defines us as Christians, the birth of Christ is historical fact, it is our belief that He loved us enough to suffer the death of crucifixion for us and that He rose from the dead.

We believe in and accept the sacred Scriptures upon the subject of the resurrection and return of Christ at their face and full value.
Of the Resurrection, we believe that Christ rose bodily “The third day according to the Scripture” 1 Corinthians 15: 3-4;
that He ascended “to the right hand of the throne of God” and that He alone is our “merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God” Hebrews 8:1;
and “that this same Jesus which is taken up from you into heaven shall so come in like manner as ye have seen Him go into heaven,” bodily, personally, and visibly Acts 1:11;
that the ‘dead in Christ shall rise first” 1 Thessalonians 4:16; ‘
that the living saints “shall all be changed in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump” 1 Corinthians 15:51-53 ;
“that the Lord God shall give unto Him the throne of His father David” Luke 1:32;
and that “Christ shall reign a thousand years in righteousness until He hath put all enemies under His feet” Revelation 20:1-4. .

There is so much promise in our beliefs.
There is so much hope in our beliefs.
How wonderful to serve a God who has the capacity for so much love.

May God Forever Be a Blessing In Your Life!!!
