I Have Seen The Lord!

In Sunday’s message Jeff Arthurs kicked off our new series:  “I Have Seen the Lord”.  The message series and title comes from Mary Magdalene’s Easter witness to the resurrection of Jesus Christ.  She had seen the Lord.  We have too.  We have seen the sheer power and unsuprassing goodness of Jesus Christ in our lives today.  So let’s share with one another what we have seen.

Share with your family.  Over the next month, I’m inviting families to take time around the dinner table to share where they have seen the Lord.  This is not just for parents.  Let your children participate as well.  But over the next month, let’s share in our families where we have seen the Lord.

Share with your small group.  Over the next month, I’m inviting small groups to take time in your group to share where you have seen the Lord.  Instead of sharing our every changing circumstances with our group (a good thing to do), let’s instead focus our attention on the power and goodness of Jesus Christ today.   But over the next month, let’s share in our small groups where we have seen the Lord.

Share with your church.  Over the next month, I’m inviting all of you to take time and write a blog to share with the entire community where you have seen the Lord.  We’d like to post several each day.  So please try and keep them relatively short (500 words or less).  Long blogs (and I certainly am guilty of this!) can be difficult for our readers.  But over the next month, let’s share with the whole church where we have seen the Lord.

He is Risen!  The power of the resurrection of Jesus Christ is alive and well in lives of the people in our church.  So let’s share our testimonies with one another.  Let’s encourage one another.  Let’s strengthen each other’s faith.  Let’s be an Easter people.  Let’s be a church where we celebrate the sheer power and unsurpassing goodness of Jesus Christ in our lives today.
