What kind of Easter do you want?

April 9, 2010

Easter lasts for six weeks in the Christian calendar and our goal this year is to focus as intensely on Jesus’ resurrection and what that means for our community in Hollywood as we focused on Lent - our journey with Jesus to the cross. During Lent we spent almost 6 weeks asking ourselves, “What am I laying down for the sake of my walk with God? How is God pruning from my life things that are in the way?”

Now we turn our attention to a slightly different question: What is God birthing in my life? What new thing does God want to do in me and through me?” I hope you will carefully consider these questions. This is the heart of the gospel! This is the question which, I think, will open the door to “what’s next” for us in Hollywood.

To help us on this journey we’ll be doing a short series of messages in worship from the book of Revelation. This week I’ll be giving a message from Revelation 1:1-8. I encourage you to read it a few times before you come to church and allow God to begin speaking to you about it.

With you in seeing resurrection in our world,
