EASTER SERVICE – April 4, 2021
WELCOME and INTRO
READING
“I believe in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into Hell. On the 3rd day he arose again from the dead, he ascended into heaven where he is seated at the right hand of God the Father, Almighty, from there he will come to judge the living and the dead.”
From Matthew 28, John 21, and Acts 1: “After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, May Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb. There was a violent earthquake, for an angle of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled the stone and sat upon it. (Victory!). His appearance was like lightning, his clothes white as snow. The angel said, “Do not be afraid, for I know you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said.”
He is risen! He is risen indeed!
The woman run to go tell the other disciples, afraid, yet filled with Joy! Along the way, they meet Jesus… Again, he says, “Don’t be afraid. Go and tell the others the good news.” Jesus also appears to two men on the road to Emmaus, who were talking about the tragic events of the weekend. And when Jesus breaks bread with them, they recognize him! Jesus then appears to the 11 disciples and says, “Peace be with you!” And he eats with them. They exclaim, “My Lord, and my God!” After all this, Jesus meets them on the shore a bit later while they are fishing, no fish, “Caste the net on the other side.” Jesus calls out. And they catch a spectacular net full of fish. “My Lord, and my God.”
“Follow me! Feed my sheep! Go, tell the world about me.”
When Luke begins writing about the early church, he says, that Jesus birth, life, death, and resurrection is only the beginning. After Jesus resurrection, he presented himself to them and gave many convincing proofs that he was alive. He appeared to them for 40 days, teaching them about the Kingdom of God before he ascended into heaven, before their very eyes.
He is risen! He is risen indeed!
SONG: Christ the Lord is Risen Today
Christ the Lord is ris’n today, Alleluia
Sons of men and angels say, Alleluia
Raise your joys and triumphs high, Alleluia
Sing, ye heav’ns, and earth, reply, Alleluia
Lives again our glorious King, Alleluia
Where, O death, is now thy sting? Alleluia
Dying once he all did save, Alleluia
Where thy victory, O grave? Alleluia
Love’s redeeming work is done, Alleluia
Fought the fight, the battle won, Alleluia
Death in vain forbids His rise, Alleluia
Christ hath opened paradise, Alleluia
Soar we now where Christ hath led, Alleluia
Foll’wing our exalted Head, Alleluia
Made like Him, like Him we rise, Alleluia
Ours the cross, the grave, the skies, Alleluia
Hail the Lord of earth and heaven, Alleluia
Praise to Thee by both be given, Alleluia
Thee we greet triumphant now, Alleluia
Hail the Resurrection, thou, Alleluia
SONG: In Christ Alone
In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This Cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My comforter, my all in all
Here in the love of Christ I stand
In Christ alone who took on flesh
Fulness of God in helpless babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones he came to save
Till on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was sa – tis – fied
For every sin on him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live
No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the pow’r of Christ in me
From life’s first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my des-ti-ny
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from his hand
Till he returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I’ll stand
PRAYER
MESSAGE: The Centrality of Christ: Persevere! Hebrews 10:19-25
SONG: How Deep the Father’s Love For Us
How deep the Father’s love for us
How vast beyond all measure
That He should give His only Son
To make a wretch His treasure
How great the pain of searing loss
The Father turns His face away
As wounds which mar the Chosen One
Bring many sons to glory
Behold the man upon a cross
My sin upon His shoulders
Ashamed I hear my mocking voice
Call out among the scoffers
It was my sin that held Him there
Until it was accomplished
His dying breath has brought me life
I know that it is finished
I will not boast in anything
No gifts, no power, no wisdom
But I will boast in Jesus Christ
His death and resurrection
Why should I gain from His reward
I cannot give an answer
But this I know with all my heart
His wounds have paid my ransom
BLESSING
