Church Family,
This past Sunday, in observance of Easter, we looked at the account of Jesus’ resurrection in Matthew 28. This narrative clearly lays out for us how those who opposed Jesus sought to overcome him both by strength and by cunning. They posted a guard to secure the tomb, yet it still was empty on the third day. They then spread lies saying that the body had been stolen, not resurrected, but the true story still spreads like wildfire. It is no coincidence then that as the risen Jesus sends his disciples out into the world he does not tell them to lean on their own might or cunning. Instead, there is one singular truth that empowers them, and us now, in living out the great commission. God, the Living God, is with us always, to the end of the age.
Prospective Members Class
We are having a prospective members class on the afternoon of Saturday, May 3rd from 1:00 to 4:00. Attending this class is not any sort of a commitment, it is just an opportunity to learn the core convictions of Light in the Desert Church, including a particular belief in the biblical model of church membership. If you are interested in participating in this class and learning more about LitD, please sign up in the foyer.
Grace be with you,
Logan Murphy
Pastoral Intern
