We celebrated Easter yesterday. The day Christ rose from the dead. It's a day many of us walk around in awe and joy at just the thought of all he did for us on that cross, and what he overcame and took for us, when we didn't truly deserve it. To many it is considered a holy day. A day of remembrance, a day we step into Christ's love and celebrate. I'm here to challenge that idea. Yes it's the most important day to our faith. However truly that day made it possible for every day to now be holy. Rather then wait till next year to remember and celebrate. Let's carry that and start something new. Each day is holy for Christ is with us and the presence of God makes all it touches holy. Lets live our time going forward as if he is risen, he is with us. That gentle voice guiding our ways. The narrow path that leads to everlasting life. If u have truly accepted that and repented from your sins. Then he is with you. Don't let the world tell you anything different. Don't let the world tell you when u can celebrate the Risen Christ. For truly Easter day was a shift in the world in a way that changed the very direction of what is possible for us. Many of us here believe there is a plan In place. That Q is something special and that God is working. I will take that even further and say that Christ is what animates Q. The 10 people that know the full plan received it from Christ and have been hard at work playing their parts. Yet we all have parts. Only when u accept that Christ is truly with you, moment by moment. Guiding you, loving you, taking all your pains sorrows and sins. Ask him to help you better hear his voice and what role you can play in this plan. It's easy to think oh who am I, I'm only 1 person, I'm not good enough, why me. I encourage you to stop those ways of thinking. Ask not not you. Cause truly it's not about you. Many of the biblical people struggled with this same thought. Moses said but Lord I can't do that I stutter and am not good with speaking. God basically said it's not about u rather it's WHO I AM! Powerful stuff. Don't short the power of God. Keep turning to him day by day and dream and hope and pray BIG. I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH. I am here if anyone needs a fren to talk to or needs prayer

Yesterday we had 160 folks attend worship services. We average around 90 after Covid….before Covid, around 140. We are a small congregation in a small town.
It still saddens me that folks don’t show up each Lords day to worship, but “feel” compelled to once a year. I’m however extremely grateful for those taking the time to come. I DO chose to remain optimistic that somehow they might have a change of heart and begin to attend regularly.
This is why it's important for churches to have special services for holidays where more people "feel compelled" to attend. If it helps even one soul get saved or return to God, that is all the gain that we could ever hope for.
The fact that many don't attend church except on those days is tragic and unfortunate, but I understand. Humans are weak (myself included), it is what it is.
Rev.1:18 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.
My thought this morning is that Jesus Christ is risen and he does walk amongst us, when you encounter him you may not realize that it was him. Be kind and help others, he will be there for you.
Amen!
In my weakness, He is strong!
ALL WELL said, Ryan. - I can see.... so many things I have shared with you the past 2 years here, like "I am 1 (Beloved child of God). Thus I can Not do everything.
But this & that etc, whatever... I CAN BE + DO, by God's Grace I will Continue...." Amen
Absolutely! HE is RISEN EVERYDAY!! 🙌
IF [date] > 33AD, THEN [Jesus: Risen] = TRUE
