look to the cross

What a great service Sunday morning!! to hear the story of God at work in the lives of his people.

As we lead up to Easter - are you setting your eyes on the cross? what Jesus achieved on the cross is what makes it possible for us to be able to testify to a changed life. This week will you fix your eyes on on the Cross and reflect on the things that Christ did there.

This weekend we celebrate the darkest and lightest times on the christian calendar.

Good Friday - where Christ our Savior suffers the torment of hell in our place.

Easter Sunday - the beginning of a victorious life as Jesus conquers death and Satan.

As we finish of our series on Spiritual Warfare - Easter is the most appropriate place to conclude. In light of Easter our position has been assured.

"death has been swallowed up in Victory"

where O death is your victory? where o death is your sting? 1 Cor 15

In light of this Paul says, "stand firm, let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the lord, because you know that your labour in the Lord is not in vain"

Though the war has been won - we must still battle the skirmishes with a defeated enemy

Hebrews 2:14-15 "Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might destroy him who holds the power of death - that is, the devil - and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death"

So Be bold, Be strong, Be alert and stand firm - as we long for the return of our Lord!!
