Reflections From Sunday Evening

The messengers of God pose the question to the women who come to the tomb seeking to care for the body of Jesus. "Why do you look for the living among the dead?" Our experience at church today would guarantee no one would mistake this place for a dead place. He is risen! No doubt the risen Lord Jesus was among us today. The Holy Spirit inspired worship. I now trust the Lord will continue bringing clarity and hope to each of us as we move forward. Easter has once again reminded us that our desire for something greater than death has arrived. Easter once again reminds us that good news prevails over bad news. Easter again reminds us that hope rises and nothing keeps us from the presence of God. We completed our series on "Hope Epidemic" and I truly believe there is a strong sense of hope rising. Now we move forward. Spend time with God until God's desires become your desires. As love increases the desires of our heart will become a mirror of God's heart. May your expectation of fulfillment be elevated. Hope is desire with expectation of fulfillment. Easter seals the hope and the sure expectation that God is at work in our lives, our church, our community and world. Go be a conveyor of hope. It's been a good day. I hope you've had a good day too. steve
