Easter: The Weekend That Rocked the World

An incredible Easter celebration is almost here. Have you invited someone to come with you yet? At our Easter services, many people have opened their lives to Christ because YOU invited them! Don't miss this special once-a-year opportunity to invite someone! People are more likely to be open to your invitation at Easter than at any other time. Invite your family, friends, co-workers, and community. On Easter Sunday, April 8th, we will have 5 identical services: 8 AM, 9:30 AM, and 11 AM in the Worship Center and at 9:30 AM and 11 AM in the Chapel.

I look forward to sharing an inspiring Easter message, which will highlight the power of God to impact our lives. The timeless message of the cross demonstrates how God gives us a chance to start over and enjoy a new relationship with Him.

Eggstravaganza

Kids of all ages and their families are invited to join us for our annual candy-filled egg hunt on the day before Easter, Saturday, April 7th! At 10 AM our doors will open for two and a half hours of adventure, beginning with a fun-filled 20-minute Easter program where we share the Easter message and hand out prizes galore! From there we will head out with our families to explore the various age-appropriate egg hunts and activities, collecting eggs as we go! Since MOST of the activities are indoors, the hunt is sure to be on—rain or shine! There will be inflatables, pony rides, free cotton candy and popcorn, and a chance to win a number of amazing prizes, including a Wii! Bring your camera, because the Easter Bunny will be joining us! This is a free event, with the option to purchase fresh coffee or food at the espresso stand or cafe. So hop on over and be sure to invite your friends.

Making Wise Decisions: Finding God's Will

• Who should I marry?

• What job should I take?

• Should we sell our house, buy this house, or relocate?

• Should I start a new career?

• Is this a wise investment?

• How do I handle this situation with my kids?

• What move should I make regarding my marriage?

• What should I do about what my doctor said?

• How are we going to address this financial need?

• What am I going to do with my life?

• I need to deal with this problem, but how?

One of the questions I'm frequently asked about is how to make wise decisions. How can I know God's will? What is the right thing to do in this situation? Does God care? Is He there? What decision will be best for me? What choice will most please God? Some decisions are very obvious and easy, but some are extremely confusing and overwhelming. These tough decisions are the ones I want us to address beginning April 15. Together we'll walk through God's Word looking for "fog lights" to help us find our way. Here are a few topics we will tackle:

• What does the Bible say about finding God's will?

• In what ways is God's will like a map or a compass?

• What are the road signs I should follow as I try to find my way?

• What is the difference between God's perfect will and permissive will?

• What are the key principles to making wise decisions?

• What does wisdom have to do with it, anyway?

James says, "If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously" (James 1:5). And a wise teacher once said, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him and he will make your paths straight" (Proverbs 3:5-6). The Bible has a lot to say about this topic, and I'm looking forward to sharing some of it with you.

See you Sunday,

Pastor Rob
