Christ is RISEN!!! Is it not amazing that we serve a King who is no longer dead? As I was reading my Bible I came across a very simple verse, Ephesians 5:1, which says, "Therefore, be imitators of God, as beloved children." This verse has been on my mind for weeks now. I can not seem to get passed it. Which is ok. Sometimes the Lord is really trying to get your attention on some verses. Since Easter has just happened, how can you and I be imitators of God? What does that look like for you and I?
1) He Sacrificed his position
2) He Surrendered his power
3) He Served his people
What are ways that you can sacrifice your position? Or what are ways you can humble yourself? What are ways that you can give up your power? What are ways you can serve others? Christ did all of this on the Cross and he completed it through His resurrection.
Let's go into this spring/summer season being imitators of Christ!
VBS practice is up and running. We had our first practice and it went very well. The Students were eager to jump right in and serve. It is great to see their attitudes and the fun they bring to the event. Please be praying for this event.
Remember in May we will not be doing evening youth activities. We will still have practices for VBS but no evening youth activities. We want to give our leaders a break.
With that please have an awesome April!
Praying for you,
-P. Shawn
