Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday Services:

Whatever way you choose to celebrate, may your Easter in Kansas City be filled with joy, laughter, and unforgettable moments, and above all, I pray you come to know the incredible Truth that makes this season so special:

There is a God. He is holy, good, and just. Only God is holy; He is totally pure and completely innocent of any wrongdoing. God created you on purpose. He loves you and wants you to know Him. However, because we all sin, we are each separated from God by that sin. Sin is anything that “misses the mark” of holiness. (Romans 3:23, John 3:16, Exodus 20:1-17, Matthew 22:37-39)

Friend, God loves you and cares for you. He paid everything to make a way for you to have a right relationship with Him, through the willing sacrifice of His Son, Jesus Christ. Jesus chose to come to earth as a man, lived a sinless life, and willingly laid down His life to pay the penalty for all sin, yours and mine, and for all people, for all time. He was crucified on the cross and died. Three days later, God resurrected Him to bodily life, and He is alive today in Heaven with God, and in all those who put their trust in Him. (2 Corinthians 5:21, 1 Peter 2:24, 1 John 3:16)

His costly sacrifice paid the price for our sins and made a way for us to become part of God’s family. He extends this gift of salvation to all who will repent of their sin and put their trust in Jesus and the work He did for us on the cross. This wonderful Good News is what I celebrate on Resurrection Sunday! If you have any questions, please reach out to me! I would love to hear from you.
