John 20:1-18

Rev. Charlie Phillips

As you prepare for Good Friday and Easter Sunday I want to encourage you to consecrate your heart by surrendering it.

We’re so prone in our lives to control as much as we possibly can. It’s the American way! It’s the air we breathe! And yet Holy Week reminds us that the greatest story of all—the story we are living in, the story that shapes us—is one in which we're simply not in control.

Would the disciples have allowed the crucifixion if they could have stopped it? Wouldn’t we, if we had been there, have unsheathed our swords to save our Savior? This is the messiah complex we’re all born into—a posture of self-reliance, self-righteousness, and subtle idolatry. And it's precisely this that our Savior came to free us from, if we will surrender.

Let’s surrender together.

Join us on Friday as we contemplate the agony of the crucifixion, and on Sunday as we celebrate the glory of the resurrection.

Luke 24:1-12

Rev. Charlie Phillips

I want to invite you all to two very different services in the life of our church this week. On Friday at 7pm we’ll gather for a contemplative service highlighting our Savior’s work on the cross. Come prepared to meditate on the deep love of our Father who would send his son to die in our place. Ask God to open your eyes to the deep, deep love of Jesus who would volunteer to take on God’s wrath for sinners like us. Then on Sunday we’ll gather at 11am for a loud celebration of Christ’s triumph over the grave! It’ll be a sweet time for our entire church family to sing and shout that death has been defeated…that nothing can hold us back from the love of God in Christ…that resurrection life is ours for the taking! See you soon!
