So much better than coupons :)

Normally on Sunday mornings you would expect to find a long list of all of the coupons you could find in each of our 3 local papers. This morning there are no coupon inserts in any of the papers due to the Easter holiday. What I have to offer you this morning is SOO much better than coupon inserts, freebies, and even overages...this morning I offer you the hope and the salvation that comes through our RISEN Savior...Jesus Christ. Coupon friends Easter is so much more than candy, bunnies, and eggs. Our God sent his son Jesus to die on the cross to save us from all the evil and dirty sins of this world. He suffered and died on the cross so that we could have everlasting life and be forgiven of our sins. The great news is that this is not the end of the story! Death could not hold Jesus down, he overwhelmed the grave, and our God REINS! There is hope, forgiveness, love, grace, mercy, and eternal life that is only found through Jesus Christ. I leave you with the words of my favorite song this morning as you celebrate the resurrection of our savior and the hope that comes through his death:

Glorious Day
By: Casting Crowns

One day when Heaven was filled with His praises
One day when sin was as black as could be
Jesus came forth to be born of a virgin
Dwelt among men, my example is He
Word became flesh and the light shined among us
His glory revealed

Living, He loved me
Dying, He saved me
Buried, He carried my sins far away
Rising, He justified freely forever
One day He’s coming
Oh glorious day, oh glorious day

One day they led Him up Calvary’s mountain
One day they nailed Him to die on a tree
Suffering anguish, despised and rejected
Bearing our sins, my Redeemer is He
Hands that healed nations, stretched out on a tree
And took the nails for me

Living, He loved me
Dying, He saved me
Buried, He carried my sins far away
Rising, He justified freely forever
One day He’s coming
Oh glorious day, oh glorious day

One day the grave could conceal Him no longer
One day the stone rolled away from the door
Then He arose, over death He had conquered
Now He’s ascended, my Lord evermore
Death could not hold Him, the grave could not keep Him
From rising again

Living, He loved me
Dying, He saved me
Buried, He carried my sins far away
Rising, He justified freely forever
One day He’s coming
Oh glorious day, oh glorious day


One day the trumpet will sound for His coming
One day the skies with His glories will shine
Wonderful day, my Beloved One, bringing
My Savior, Jesus, is mine

Living, He loved me
Dying, He saved me
Buried, He carried my sins far away
Rising, He justified freely forever
One day He’s coming
Oh glorious day, oh glorious day

Happy Easter Everyone!
