He Lives!
We had a great Easter gathering on Sunday. There were some special activities and a video for the kids. Communion. Worship. Truly loved it. May we keep in mind what is of first importance: Jesus died for our sins, was buried and rose again. There are other things. We have beliefs about an assortment of doctrinal issues but with out the things of "first importance" every thing else is of no importance. And because Jesus has revealed himself to us, has poured grace out upon us, may we not live in vain. As empty vessels created to hold something great. May it push us to labor and toil on His behalf for his glory and his purposes.
This week we are back into Philippians. Looking forward to it.

Hello Sojourn Church,
You made your site simple yet elegant. The pictures are a nice touch. You may be surprised to know that Easter is a pagan fertility goddess. Halloween, Christmas, Easter and Lent are all dedicated to pagan deities! Not suitable days for Christians to celebrate!
I like to write articles about God and religion on my site. I want to help people to really get to know Jehovah God, especially in these troubled times. The Bible has an important message for us: "On that day of judgment," says the LORD, "I will punish the leaders... and all those following pagan customs." (Zephaniah 1:8) (NLT)
And yet, passing out candy at Halloween didn't give the devil possession of my soul and going to church doesn't make one a disciple of Jesus. Perhaps its more about the dedication of the individuals heart and less about what something started as hundreds of years ago. And nice soliticious plug for your site...
