I Corinthians 15:17

Dear Friends,

What a glorious week in the history of mankind! We celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead! The entire story is a revelation of the heart and mind of God. The miraculous story of His Son coming to earth, His thirty three years of life, His death, His burial and then His resurrection form the rock solid foundation of, and for, living lives of faith in HIM!

When Paul wrote the statement in I Corinthians 15:17, "And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins," he was in the middle of his defense for the validity and authenticity of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Because Jesus was raised from the tomb of burial and death, our faith is NOT futile and because we have personally received HIM as Lord and Savior we are NOT still living in our sins!

The reality of the resurrection is why we carry this Good News about Jesus to all people- and especially right now to those people who have never heard about this Jesus- the One who is the Savior of all humanity...if they believe in HIM! But, before they can believe they must hear. That is our mission...our purpose...or goal...our vision!

Thank you for your prayers and your support as together we accomplish this global mission of "going into all the world and preaching the Gospel to all nations!"

Have a great celebration!
