Good Morning Everyone,
Our theme for this month: “A Fresh Encounter”
Our Bible verse for today: “Why are you looking for the living among the dead?” asked the men. “He is not here, but He has been resurrected!” Luke 24:5-6 (HCSB)
Our thought for today: “The resurrection changes everything!”
That’s the title of the sermon at Oak Hill Baptist Church this Easter Sunday morning, “The Resurrection Changes Everything!” And it does! When Jesus defeated death and arose from the grave He ushered in a new era in human history. His resurrection from the dead, and then His ascension back into heaven, changed everything. Never before has it been possible for human beings to have such a close and intimate relationship with God. And never before has it been possible to have the hope, peace, and eternal security that faith in Jesus provides.
I’m not going to give away the points of the sermon here this morning but I will tell you that the resurrection changes everything in six important ways. I’ll explain tomorrow.
If you’re in the Crossville area then I invite you to join us. At 9:00 there will be an Easter Breakfast Brunch along with activities for the children, including an Easter egg hunt. At 10:00 we will enjoy the Easter Celebration Service, beginning with the baptism of a new believer; then lots of special Easter music; interpretive dance; a sermon revealing the six ways in which the resurrection changes everything; and we will conclude with a special event that will be revealed tomorrow.
If you’re not in the Crossville area then I encourage you to listen to the service online at www.oakhillbaptist.net. It will be recorded and will be available for you online just hours after the service concludes.
Our theme for this month has been “A Fresh Encounter”. We’ve been thoughtfully and prayerfully considering personal spiritual renewal and church-wide revival. That then has the potential to lead to spiritual awakening among non-Christians in our communities. Tomorrow, Easter Sunday morning at Oak Hill Baptist Church, could be your opportunity for a “Fresh Encounter” with God. I look forward to seeing you then.
God Bless,
Pastor Jim
