Reflections from the weekend

Coming off of Easter weekend is a rush. We had our 5th Annual EggSmash, which is our Community Easter Event, on Saturday April 3, 2010. The event was held at the City Park in Royse City and once again the Lord gave us an opportunity to simply "love" on our community. You can watch the highlight video here

Our Easter service was awesome. Scott Finch did a great job of leading worship. I love it when God's people sing out to their Creator. We looked at James 4:13-17 and looked at submitting to God. We looked at James' caution against having an attitude of independence from God. We then looked at Jesus' submission in Gethsemane found in Luke 22: 39-46. Jesus was pressing on to the Cross. He was submissive to the Cross. There is no other way for men to be saved apart from the innocent substitutionary suffering of the Lord Jesus! Looking back at James' caution of independence from God. We read that our lives are but a vapor. We are His. We are not our own. Even knowing that we are not guaranteed tomorrow or event he rest of today, we should be spurred into action to do His will. Look at the words of Jesus in Gethsemane. Jesus prays, "Father, if You are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but Yours be done". If you missed the service you can watch it on GatewayTV
