PASTOR’S THOUGHTS SENIOR PASTOR SAM VALVERDE
LET’S NOT LOSE THE OF IT ALL!

“And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.” I Timothy 3:16
I
t’s Easter again. I prefer the term Resurrection Day because it goes straight to the point of what it is we are celebrating. We celebrate the fact that Christ rose from the dead, powerful and victorious so that we could have eternal life! But, in a few months it will be Mother’s Day and Father’s Day and Thanksgiving. Before we know it will be Christmas again. With birthdays, anniversaries and graduations almost every month, our year can become a constants stream of celebrations. My concern is viewing Resurrection Sunday as just another day - maybe leave work a little early on Friday, prepare to receive company on Saturday, or do some shopping - go to breakfast on Sunday morning, attend church and then do something really fun like a dinner with friends. I don’t object to fun family activities, but I do warn that we should not, cannot lose the wonder of it all. - Jesus was manifest in the flesh: God took the form of a man to die, be buried and rise up again! - Jesus was justified in the Spirit: The Spirit descended on him at his baptism! - Jesus was seen of the angels: At his birth, at his temptation at his agony! - Jesus was preached unto the Gentiles: That’s us who were far from the promises of God! ...CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE
CONTINUATION OF “PASTOR’S THOUGHTS’
COLLEGE & CAREER / STUDENT MINISTRIES
- Jesus was believed on in the world: And all who believe become part God’s family! - Jesus was received in glory: He ascended to heaven to “go prepare a place for us!” Enjoy your days off, entertain company, prepare family dinners - celebrate but do not exclude Christ from it all, don’t lose the wonder of it all. Intertwine, interlace, include Christ in everything because he did it all for us!
Pastor Sam Valverde Let’s celebrate Christ together!
