HEAR it on Sunday. USE it on Monday

Note_book_sunday_monday

This Sunday's message was about sacrifice. Pastor Greg asked the question why do we make sacrifices for God? As we enter this Holy Week - we know that we are able to make sacrifices because Christ made the ultimate sacrifice on our behalf.

If you missed Pastor Greg's message - you can listen to it here.

What will you do to make this Holy Week more meaningful? One idea is to check out Pastor Michael's daily devotionals this week.

Try reading through the Gospel accounts of Jesus betrayal and death - wait until Easter Sunday to read the resurrection story. Matthew 26:1-27:66, Mark 14:1-15:47, Luke 22:1-23:56, or John 18:1-19:42

If you want to try reading these stories side by side try this great website. Scroll down to find the story in one of the Gospels - then click on the little colored books to find that story in the other Gospels.

You might also consider picking up Max Lucado's book 3:16 - its a book that breaks down the most memorable verse in the Bible - John 3:16 - For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. In the book Lucado walks the reader through the amazing, eternal, and powerful promise that this verse holds.

Remember this week's worship services:
March 20, Maundy Thursday - 6:30 p.m.
March 21, Good Friday - 6:30 p.m.
March 23, Easter Sunday - 8:30, 9:45, and 11:00 a.m.
