 Welcome from Brown Chapel/Avant & Mt. Pleasant

Happy Easter!

Prayer: Rev. Pelton

Scripture: John 20:1-10 - The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre.2 Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him.3 Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came to the sepulchre.4 So they ran both together: and the other disciple did outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre.5 And he stooping down, and looking in, saw the linen clothes lying; yet went he not in.6 Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie,7 And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself.8 Then went in also that other disciple, which came first to the sepulchre, and he saw, and believed.9 For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead.10 Then the disciples went away again unto their own home.

Subject: The Reality of the Resurrection is Important: Because He Lives

• Jesus showed us who he is.
• Jesus paid for the sins that we have committed.
• God saw that Jesus had paid and God was satisfied.
• Resurrection was the receipt that all had been paid in full.
• The resurrection is just as powerful today as it was in the past.
• The resurrection means that we can face today with confident.
• We can face tomorrow with faith. Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things no seen. Hebrews 11:1
• We can face eternity with peace. God's peace surpasses all understanding. Philippians 4:7
• We Christians are only passing through to that eternal home.
• Jesus said, "I am the truth, the way, and the life. No one comes to the Father but by me." John 16:6
• John 14:27 - "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you; I do not give it to you as the world does. Do not let your hearts be troubled or lacking in courage.

What determines if Easter is in March or April? The simple answer is that the first Sunday after the full moon that occurs on or after the spring equinox. If the full moon falls on a Sunday then Easter is the Next Sunday.

April 17, 2022 - Easter Service

 Welcome from Brown Chapel/Avant & Mt. Pleasant

Happy Easter

Prayer: Rev. Pelton

Scripture: John 19:25-27 - Now standing beside Jesus' cross were his mother, his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.  So when Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing there, he said to his mother, he said to his disciple, "Look, here is your mother!" From that very time the disciple took her into his own home.  After this Jesus, realizing that by this time everything was completed, said (in order to fulfill the scripture), "I am thirsty!"

Subject: At The Foot Of The Cross

• What is happening at the foot of the cross?
• God broadens the family of God, that John was entrusted to see after Mary, the mother of Jesus.
• The loved ones of Jesus were at the feet of the cross.
• They were losing the physical presence of Jesus but Mary was gaining another son, John.
• At the foot of the cross we all become a part of the family of God.
• Let the redeemed of the Lord, say so. Psalm 107:2
• Love was expressed from Jesus to his mother and to John.
• Jesus has entrusted to us his love to love others. Because we are our brothers keepers.

 Happy Easter from Brown Chapel/Avant, Shiloh & Mt. Pleasant

Prayer & Message: Rev. I. Pelton

• Jesus knew that his time was near.
• Jesus prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane where he yielded to the Father saying, "Not my will but your will be done." 
• Jesus never defended himself to anyone as all turned away from him.
• Jesus was whipped, spit on, cursed. He was hung on the cross.
• He gave the ghost.
• BUT Jesus rose with all power. And because he lives......we can face our tomorrows.
