Sr. High Sunday School Class
We have welcomed Floyd Confere to our Sunday School class.
Movies showing the complex design of animals, often shown in humorous
ways, really get the point across that the Creator truly is the author of the
living. This fact re-enforces our belief
in the Biblical account of creation.
We are now focusing our attention on Easter, and the days leading up to
Resurrection Day.

2.

Library News/Book Review
No Wonder They Call Him Savior
by
Max Lucado
If someone asked you, “What makes Christianity different from any other
religion?”, how would you answer? If someone tells you, “I just want to know
what counts.”, what would your answer be?
This book gets to the heart of the matter…not religion, not philosophy,
not theology, but what really matters.
We can examine history, study theology, reflect on prophecies, but one
thing we cannot do is walk away from the cross being neutral.
As you read this book you will be reminded, page after page, that it is
no wonder they call Him Savior.
23
Minutes In Hell
by
Bill Wiese
This book is one man’s story about what he saw, heard, and felt in that
place of torment. His account of his
ordeal is so graphic that you think you can almost feel the torture, smell the
stench, and feel the hopelessness of the place called hell.
After 23 minutes Jesus brought him back to his human body. As Jesus was having a conversation with Bill,
He answered a multitude of questions for him, questions many, many people would
like to have answered for themselves.
Finally, Jesus said, ”Tell them I am coming
very, very soon.” Then Jesus said it
again: “TELL THEM I AM COMING VERY, VERY SOON!”
The reason for Easter is to make it possible for every person to avoid
hell. Ho wonder
they call Him Savior!

How crucial is the Resurrection?
|
|
We cherish the birth of Jesus, his wisdom,
his loving deeds, his courage in the face of a brutal death, but it is
Christ's resurrection which is absolutely crucial to Christian beliefs. |
“Serving
people who have wounded us is a challenge.
Jesus overcame that challenge on the night He was arrested, accused, and
sentenced to die. He had gathered with
His disciples to celebrate the Passover when He took a towel and a basin of
water and began to wash their feet. In
that group of 12 was Judas, a thief and generally disagreeable sort, whom Jesus
knew was about to betray him (John 13:1 – 6).
Judas left the meeting early to arrange the betrayal of Jesus, but not
before Jesus washed his feet, along with those of the faithful eleven who
remained.
The next time
God asks you to serve someone you would rather not, remember how Jesus washed
the feet of an unlovely man on the road to
David
