Easter Sunday is a jubilant celebration of the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. Kids and adults commemorate this special day, a new life for all of us. Jesus suffering and death is an eye opener for us to repent and be humble. The season of Lent is a season of contemplation. Jesus was judged, beaten, crucified, died on the cross and ressurected on Easter Sunday. May our hearts be filled with gladness and sanguineness as we welcome this special day.

Sermon #1: The Triumphal Entry
Kingdom: By definition it is (a) the eternal kingship of God and (b) the realm in which God's will is fulfilled. The first part of The Victorious King, The Triumphal Entry talks about Jesus as King, who He is and what He came to do. Meant to be preached on Palm Sunday to prepare ourselves for the Lenten season, this part teaches as on how we can honor Jesus as our King today.
The Victorious King is available at Mainstay Ministries.

A Reference to Japan's Quake
Was any reference made in your service last Sunday to the earthquake and tsunami in Japan? For example, did someone pray for those still looking for loved ones? Was an offering taken to help with the relief efforts? Was a phone link made with a missionary serving in that devastated nation?
I ask because all too often church services are like they take place in a world secluded from any outside influences. While in some people’s minds that could seem like a good thing, my feeling is that it gives the impression that the world of the church is too often unconnected to the one in which people live the major portion of their lives.
My concern is for the impression the church gives when it ignores events of great magnitude like this. Certainly what happened in Japan is of epic proportions and needs to be acknowledged. To totally overlook such devastation would be a sign of incredible provincialism.
Are we so trapped in our traditions that nothing can infringe on the way we normally do church? Maybe we feel that praying makes little differences when problems are this enormous. But can Christians in their services of the church act as though nothing all that extraordinary has happened?
We have now had a little more time to absorb the huge impact of this tragedy on the Japanese people. Let’s make sure that in our church services this coming weekend, what occurred is acknowledged and responded to in a way that is fitting for God’s people.

The Bible For Personal Revival
Some people attend church out of obligation. Others think that reading the Bible is just a ticket to another guilt trip. They haven’t yet learned how exciting and energizing Christian life can be—but they’re about to! This spiritual adventure Bible is designed to “wake up” sleepy Christians and help them catch a vision of what God wants to do in their lives.
But what makes the spiritual adventure Bible different from the other Bible? Author David Mains says, “We don’t need more technique. We need the presence of Jesus Christ.” This study Bible introduces readers to Jesus as a living person who has a lot to say about their everyday lives. It’s designed to spark revival—in individuals, in their churches, and in their communities.

Perilous Pursuits
If indeed we believe that a man's chief end is to glorify God and enjoy him forever, why, then are so many Christians consumed with glorifying themselves and seeking enjoyment apart from God?
This comprehensible, incredibly thought-provoking book by Joseph M. Stowell explains why the pursuit of significance apart from God is "perilous" at best as it help readers find their fullfillment in surrendering to and serving Christ.
