Happy Easter Sunday!
The AOC Sunday Report can be downloaded RIGHT HERE!
With most search engines when enter EASTER, you get twenty pictures of rabbits and colored eggs for every one that has anything to do with the resurrection of our Lord and Savior. Intentional or not?
Bishop Jerry is on travel today to Statesville for both the Easter service and an ordination. So far we have not gotten his sermon, if we do there will be a re-issue of the report.
We have outstanding sermons today from Bishop Roy, as well as Revs Jack and Bryan. Each is quite different and quite good. Rev Jack brings the Propers together today. His sermon can be viewed on video HERE -> https://youtu.be/GdG2mkL2lrk
In the Collect, we acknowledge God sent His Son to be our Savior. Think about that, the Creator, Lord and Master of the Universe sent His only Son to not only live amongst us and minister and guide us, but to give His earthly life as a one time sacrifice for our sin that we might be accounted as perfect in our final accounting, the resurrection. In his Epistle, Paul reminds us if we claim to be with Christ and actually are, our actions must be, as a matter of necessity, congruent with His. The Gospel is the discovery of Jesus’ empty tomb. It all comes together, listen or read to understand how.
There are always a lot of people who need your prayer, today is no exception. Please take a bit of time to pray; start with Shamu, Tricia, Laurie and work out from there.
As we enter Easter tide, remember God, so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that all who believe in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. The most impressive thing of all to me is that that only begotten son, Jesus, the Christ of God, came into the world, knowing precisely how he would leave. And yet he came anyway.
Remember you cannot change the past, but you can change today and that will change tomorrow.
Godspeed,
