Just In Time

Pray for Elijah

Resurrection Sunday is about celebrating the greatest day in all of history. The death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The One and Only True God.

He fed the 5000

He walked on water.

He raised the dead

He healed the leper, blind, and paralytic man.

He did all that and came back form the dead on the third day fulfilling hundred of prophecies foretold of hundreds of years prior.

Luke is written with the purpose of providing an orderly, historically verified account of Jesus’ life to strengthen faith, especially for a Gentile audience. That is where we will spend our time today.

Altar call - to live consciously and intentionally with Him in mind.

Two soldiers, one happily married with children, the other prodigal, Good friends. During the battle of Bastogne a grenade lands in the fox hole of the two friends. The married man moves quicker and jumps on the grenade instantly killing him.

The friend sends support to his friends widow. After the war, he moves close by to care for the widow and help the children now without a Father. He didn’t have to do anything of this. He did it in response to his friends laying down His life for Him.
