Just wanted to touch base with you on this Resurrection Sunday evening (and Monday). I used the following “ditty” near the end of my message and wanted to pass it on to you. I’m sure you have heard it, but it won’t hurt to relay it again;

It has been said that a man can live about forty days without food, about three days without water, about eight minutes without air…but not one second without hope.

The whole Easter story is a story of hope. You see, if all we live for is this life, then there is no hope. Whether we literally feel life isn’t worth it or if we think we have it made, they are both devoid of hope.

I Corinthians 15 says, “Death has been swallowed up in victory.” That is our hope, an endless hope.

So…how was your Resurrection Day gathering? Anything exciting to share? We met at the Tivoli theater for one service and had a really good crowd. The music was good. The fellowship was good. The sermon was dubious. 🙂 (It was also not recorded so you will be unable to check it out). 🙁
