This coming Sunday celebrates what was the Triumphal Entry. As the nation heralded the coming of the Messiah the religious leaders told Jesus to command that He stop them from shouting and carrying on so. Jesus replied that if the crowds hushed their hosanah's, that the very rocks would cry out. Why is that? Because this was the fulfillment of a prophecy we find in Zechariah 9:9. It was a sign given to identify and authenticate that He was indeed that Messiah that would come. John the Baptist proclaimed Him to be the Son that takes away the sin of the world. The message of Easter is about the King of Kings who came to die as a sacrifice and payment for the sins of all humanity. His resurrection is the basis for our justifcation and redemption. This is why we sing and celebrate Easter.

April 10th From My Heart to Yours...
What a great day to worship the Lord. Too often we lose sight of the awe and wonder of worship. Consider that the God of all Creation become a man and died for you and me. He rose again, purchasing and procuring our salvation and redemption and is preparing a place for us in Heaven to be with Him. Now that is reason to Worship; that is reason to Praise!

We are preparing for Friend Day on April 17th. I hope that you are inviting all your family, friends, fellow students and coworkers to join us. Begin even now to pray that this outreach will result in people being saved and encouraged to serve the Lord.
