I absolutely love being able to record video testimonies for our baptisms. I love hearing how God is changing lives, and this Easter there will be some powerful videos sharing how God is moving in our midst!
Some people find Jesus while growing up in a Christ-centered family environment. Some people come to Jesus after chasing the pleasures of the world. Sometimes people don’t hear about Jesus until they are in the deepest valley, which is often brought about by their own sin.
Regardless of the story of coming to know and trust Jesus as Lord and Savior, God truly turns graves into gardens. He turns the shame of our sin into the glory of boasting in Jesus.
While we were all once spiritually dead, He has made us alive in Christ!
Our newest song—“Graves Into Gardens”—is a declaration that nothing is better than God.
No one can turn seas into highways (Exodus 14) but God.
No one can turn bones into armies (Ezekiel 37) but our God.
Our God turns mourning into dancing (Psalm 30:11), gives beauty for ashes (Isaiah 61:3), and can satisfy our every desire (Psalm 34:10).
May we be a people that find our worth, our satisfaction, and our joy in Him! May the fading treasures of this world lose their appeal. May we never be afraid to confess our weaknesses, failures, and flaws to Jesus.
And may He continue to change our hearts for His glory!
I'm excited for some 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th graders to share some special music this Sunday! I’m also anticipating our Good Friday Service. And I can hardly wait to celebrate our risen Savior with you on April 4!
See you Sunday!
For His Glory,
Pastor Kyle
