Dear Pastor, are you teaching your congregation to trust in God or in you? Ultimately, Christ is their Shepherd, just as He is ours. It is Christ’s Church, not ours. Bless them by preparing them for the fact that you will not be their last pastor.

The “Alleluia” has been buried. But fear not, it will be resurrected again on Easter morning!
There is no Easter without Good Friday. There is no resurrection for us without Jesus’ death on the cross. There is no cross without an intentional Spirit-filled journey.
Long before you thought God was important, God thought you were important. Long before you ever heard the name of Jesus Christ, Christ had already committed to dying for you so that you could live a life truly worth living – a life lived in hope. May we truly glorify God in word and deed as we strive to help others realize this too.

Jesus is Truth. But we cannot fully experience the fullness of Truth if we only show up on Easter Sunday, dressed in our finest. We must first let Truth lead us on a journey with Him. For there is no power in resurrection without the wine, the bread, the cross and the tomb.
