God’s promise is that when we come to believe in Jesus Christ, and receive Him as our Saviour and Lord, we have new life! Just like Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead, so have we been raised spiritually to new life. Our upcoming water baptism service will be a celebration of this truth. It’s always thrilling to hear the life stories of people who have found new life in Christ!
But there is another part of our journey to abundant life that is illustrated in the story of how Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead. Lazarus came out of the tomb very much alive, but he was still wrapped in grave-clothes that needed to be removed. Those grave-clothes are symbolic of things that bind us and keep us from fully experiencing the freedom and abundant life that Jesus offers.
This weekend, discover what kinds of grave-clothes may be keeping you bound and how to be set free. It is the purpose for which Christ came and it’s His will for you to find your full freedom in Jesus’ name! We will be praying for people and helping them remove those old grave-clothes. So join us for this Sunday’s worship service and bring a friend with you who needs freedom in their life!
Every Blessing,
Pastor Barry Risto
