[2421.22 --> 2422.22] Christ is risen. |
[2422.22 --> 2423.22] Christ is risen. |
[2423.22 --> 2424.22] Let's pray together. |
[2424.22 --> 2426.22] Christ is risen. |

[2436.22 --> 2438.22] Let's pray together. |
[2438.22 --> 2442.22] Father in heaven, we are thankful that we can gather here today. |
[2442.22 --> 2444.22] Because today is a special day. |
[2444.22 --> 2447.22] A day when we can joyfully celebrate that Jesus is risen. |
[2447.22 --> 2451.80] Father today not only do we celebrate but we remember |
[2451.80 --> 2458.52] We remember that while we were still sinners broken and unworthy having turned our backs on you and your love |
[2458.52 --> 2461.98] You sent your son to save us to die on the cross |
[2461.98 --> 2470.48] On Good Friday we recognize that Jesus your son did not deserve to die but took on our punishment instead |
[2470.48 --> 2474.54] Today we remember and celebrate the fact that Jesus has risen |
[2474.54 --> 2480.86] You have saved us from our sin and brokenness and prepared the way through death and out the other side |
[2480.86 --> 2488.44] We are now able to follow Jesus through death and to eternal life in perfect relationship with you |
[2488.44 --> 2489.50] Thank you |
[2489.50 --> 2497.80] Though we are now freed from the enslavement of sin we so often relapse into the our old ways of sinfulness |
[2497.80 --> 2504.80] We forget about you God caught up in our routines in and in the patterns of the world |
[2504.80 --> 2509.08] We keep drifting farther and farther from the path you have set out for us |
[2509.08 --> 2515.84] Although you have sent your Holy Spirit to help us we so often are too arrogant to accept that help |
[2515.84 --> 2518.10] Forgive us for these shortcomings |
[2518.10 --> 2527.54] But today is a day of celebration for you Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior have brought healing and hope to every single one of us |
[2527.54 --> 2531.80] And |
[2531.80 --> 2533.52] We |
[2533.52 --> 2536.76] Pour out our praise to you Jesus our Lord and King |
[2536.76 --> 2540.14] This gospel is truly good news |
[2540.14 --> 2544.28] Therefore we gladly offer ourselves as your hands and feet |
[2544.28 --> 2547.32] Give us the strength to |
[2547.32 --> 2555.22] Do what is right and plant the seeds of the gospel in the hearts of all those we meet may our joy and love stand out |
[2555.96 --> 2560.32] Among our peers this week as a beacon pointing to the way of life that you offer us |
[2560.74 --> 2566.56] Give us the strength to be bold and strong in your love and grace as we navigate our lives this week |
[2567.90 --> 2573.78] We know that there are many people who are struggling in our community Lord and we lift up those who are sick or injured |
[2574.28 --> 2579.74] Specifically we lift up Dave and Lois Clausen is Dave has received a pacemaker |
[2579.74 --> 2581.96] But there have been some complications |
[2582.52 --> 2587.96] We pray that these complications would be resolved and Dave would be able to return home |
[2588.52 --> 2593.80] We also pray for John Vandergraaf as he's undergoing tests for health issues |
[2594.14 --> 2599.04] We pray for healing for all these people in our community and comfort for them and their families |
[2599.84 --> 2601.84] Amen |
[2604.28 --> 2620.74] You know last year during Easter I lost my voice because we had two services lots of singing and I said to myself |
[2620.74 --> 2625.08] I'm not going to do that this year and here I am losing my voice and I haven't even finished the sermon yet |
[2625.08 --> 2626.40] And it's not even a short sermon |
[2626.40 --> 2627.74] So you're in trouble |
[2627.74 --> 2629.40] Or I'm in trouble |
[2629.40 --> 2632.48] I want to say thank you to all of our musicians |
[2632.48 --> 2633.78] What a gift |
[2633.78 --> 2638.98] It's very hard not to sing when we're led by these strings and I'm very grateful for the gift of music in our church |
[2638.98 --> 2641.48] If you're new to our church, my name is Dave |
[2641.48 --> 2647.32] I'm one of the pastors here on staff and it's a privilege to have you here to celebrate what we believe is the most important event in history |
[2647.32 --> 2651.38] The event that changes the course of history and that's the resurrection of Jesus Christ |
[2651.38 --> 2655.88] A number of weeks ago we began a sermon series called the good fight |
[2655.88 --> 2661.00] And we focused on Ephesians 2 and at that time if you remember back six weeks ago |
[2661.00 --> 2665.22] We said to everyone make a challenge to memorize Ephesians chapter 2 |
[2665.22 --> 2670.76] And we invited our kids into it and I have I'm going to invite a woman named Rita Lago up to the stage |
[2670.76 --> 2675.76] Because she has bravely said that she will recite Ephesians 2 this morning with us |
[2675.76 --> 2678.64] And we're going to be very generous if there's any moments where she doesn't remember it |
[2678.64 --> 2682.34] So here she is Rita's going to recite it and we're going to hear God's word together |
[2682.34 --> 2690.58] We realize that she can cheat by looking at that screen over there but she's not going to |
[2690.58 --> 2700.52] I know so yeah we received that email around February and it says as a challenge for Lent |
[2700.52 --> 2705.98] Go ahead and memorize these verses and I looked at it and I'm like are you crazy? |
[2705.98 --> 2712.60] That's a lot the only thing I know about this passage is that for I am saved by grace |
[2712.60 --> 2719.28] But then four weeks ago this was in the insert the bulletin insert |
[2719.28 --> 2723.22] And it was broken down into four weeks |
[2723.22 --> 2726.32] And I said well maybe I can do it |
[2726.32 --> 2730.98] And I've tried and each night I memorized it |
[2730.98 --> 2736.54] And it became a source of like laughter in the house with my husband trying to you know spot check me |
[2736.54 --> 2742.12] But the more I spend time memorizing the words |
[2742.12 --> 2747.60] The more I realize that I am meditating on these words in a very different way |
[2747.60 --> 2752.26] It's really different when you're reading off of the Bible |
[2752.26 --> 2757.98] As opposed to pulling it out of your memory and really putting it in your heart |
[2757.98 --> 2764.82] And so Thursday Dave caught wind that I've memorized it |
[2764.82 --> 2766.84] Don't tell Jonathan anything |
[2766.84 --> 2770.04] Or else you'll be called to be up here |
[2770.04 --> 2772.76] But I am doing it for the Lord |
[2772.76 --> 2777.40] So bear with me and I will do it with my eyes closed |
[2777.40 --> 2780.98] As for you |
[2780.98 --> 2784.28] You were dead in your transgressions and sins |
[2784.28 --> 2786.54] In which you used to live |
[2786.54 --> 2790.18] When you followed the ways of this world |
[2790.18 --> 2793.50] And of the ruler of the kingdom of the air |
[2793.50 --> 2798.36] The spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient |
[2798.36 --> 2803.10] All of us also lived among them at one time |
[2803.10 --> 2806.02] Gratifying the cravings of our flesh |
[2806.02 --> 2809.60] And following its desires and thoughts |
[2809.60 --> 2811.42] Like the rest |
[2811.42 --> 2814.66] We were by nature deserving of wrath |
[2814.66 --> 2816.72] But God |
[2816.72 --> 2819.78] But because of his great love for us |
[2819.78 --> 2822.20] God who is rich in mercy |
