Church Life

April 22, 2007
GOD IS DELIGHTED THAT YOU HAVE COME TO WORSHIP HIM TODAY! Welcome. Today we will experience the great love which Jesus Christ our risen Savior has for us through His Word. God tells us “And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for Him who died for them and was raised again. 2 Cor. 5:15. Because Jesus lives, God makes it possible for us to really be alive and experience the full joy of life—living in fellowship with God.
