From the Pastor

HE IS RISEN!
HE IS RISEN INDEED!

It’s a brief and simple statement, but it is the centrality of who we are as Christians. Paraphrasing Paul…if there was no resurrection of Jesus, then there is no point to being a Christian. Christians are a people of resurrection. Muhammad, Buddha, and other religious founders did not come back from being dead. Jesus’ death and resurrection happened because of God’s love for the world (John 3:16).

The old gospel song, “He Lives” says it best. “He walks with me, and talks with me , along life’s narrow way.” My belief in a risen Savior is not a theory or debatable idea, but a reality of experience and relationship. The last part of the chorus says, “you ask me how I know He Lives, He Lives within my heart.”

Does Jesus live in your heart?
If not ask Him in to your heart and life.

HE IS RISEN!
HE IS RISEN INDEED!

In Christ’s Love,
Reverend Ted A. Hartley
