Hallelujah! Jesus is risen!
He is risen indeed!
Lord Jesus, we praise you for your unconditional love that led you to the cross for our sake. Your precious blood was shed for our sins to reconcile heaven and earth for all eternity. We praise you for faithfulness, we praise you for your grace, and we praise you for your victory over sin and death that gives us hope and eternal life both now and forevermore. May our lips continually declare your praises and your good news to every sinner that we are saved by your grace through faith!
Hallelujah! Jesus is risen!
He is risen indeed!

Jesus’ Last Words: “Into your hands I commit my spirit” Rev. Jeff Smith
Responding to the Word of God
Affirmation of Faith Apostles’ Creed Steve Marks
I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, And in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; he descended into hell; the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy catholic church; the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting. Amen.
