Pastor Jim’s Pen – Easter Sunday 2019

It is a great privilege and pleasure to welcome you to Faith Bible Church on this marvellous Easter Sunday morning. Every Sunday throughout the year Christians gather to celebrate the resurrection of our Lord. But this is a notable day as this is the time of year when that never to be repeated, glorious work of the cross was accomplished for you and me. And then, while his followers were in the depths of despair, feeling their world had suddenly imploded, the word was sounded “He is NOT HERE! He has RISEN!” The Apostle Paul in I Corinthians 15:23 spoke of Christ who was the “first fruit” from the grave. A tomb is the strangest place in the world to go looking for fruit. But God is the One who brings life out of death itself and beauty out of ashes. Death, the heretofore undefeated champion, was thrown down.

But the resurrection is not just some curious bit of dramatic ancient history. As Paul wrote in Romans 8:11 “If the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.” There is a direct line between what took place near 2,000 years ago and our lives today. Because He lives, we too have the confident and sure hope of life everlasting. The dream of heaven has become reality for all who trust in Jesus Christ.

Thank you for coming to share in the joy of this exciting day. If you are new or recently new to Faith Bible Church I trust you will sense a warm and genuine welcome here. If you are looking for a church home, why don’t you make Faith Bible Church the home you need for regular worship, fellowship and service. The Lord has done great things for us and continues to lead us along. It would be a delight to have you share in all of this.

Prior to our service there will be no prelude and we request that no talking take place in the sanctuary.

See hymnal readings #182, #297, and #137.

The Lord’s Supper
In this morning’s service, we will share in the Lord’s Supper. Participation is open to all who have confessed Jesus as Lord and who are seeking to faithfully and obediently walk as His disciple. As the servers pass the bread and the cups along the rows, please take a portion and hold onto it until all have been served. We will then eat the bread and drink the cup together and remember our Lord’s broken body and shed blood. If you are not a follower of Jesus Christ, please do not eat of the bread or drink the cup, but do stay with us as an observer.

Our service will proceed without announcements and with few service directions. Please keep this bulletin near at hand.

For the congregational hymns, please stand to sing when the introduction begins to play.
