One month from today and we will be officially celebrating Resurrection Sunday!  But we do not need to wait for a once-a-year celebration. We are celebrating and discovering "How the Resurrection Changes Everything" this Sunday. Come learn how "He is risen is just as He said"!

We welcome the children to join us for the first half hour of the worship service, so I want to remind families to please come early for check in so you don't miss what we have planned.

Tomorrow, Sunday February 28th, we start our study of the final chapter of what has been a journey of more than three years walking with the revelation of Jesus in the Gospel of Luke.

• The discovery of the empty tomb on the morning of the resurrection in Luke 24:1-12 sends people scrambling. What does this mean?
• The appearance of the risen Christ on the road to Emmaus in Luke 24:13-32 sets hearts on fire as He explains the necessity of His death, burial and resurrection to two of His disciples.
• The physical proof of His bodily resurrection and the corroborating testimony of the Scripture as they are taught by Christ Himself, open the minds of the apostles and prepare them for a life that is otherwise inexplicable.

If it were not for the resurrection of Jesus Christ, our calendar year, the day we gather for worship, our own freedoms from guilt and fear and our hopes for the future, would be radically different. This was the message of the early church and it is the message of the church today: We have a risen, living Savior who is the Appointed One to judge the living and the dead. He calls us to repentance for the forgiveness of sins (Luke 24:47) and offers the free gift of His deathless life through the indwelling Holy Spirit to those who are willing to turn from their sin and trust Him as their Lord and Savior.

Traditionally Christians gather to hear of Christ's Resurrection once a year. Yet the early church proclaimed it continually. They have no identity or life apart from the Risen Christ.

So join us for the important final messages of our series on Luke's Gospel.
