How Are You Celebrating Resurrection Sunday? (I’m Overwhelmed with Gratefulness)

I hope that you all will enjoy a Spirit-filled Easter service.

This beautiful poster is displayed on the wall of the Abundant Grace Community Church, our church home in Smithville, Texas.

I feel a warm, uplifting sense of joy when I reflect on what Easter means to people around the world. On this special day, billions turn their thoughts to Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior.

While many attend church today out of tradition or obligation rather than genuine desire, Easter presents a unique opportunity. It’s the perfect moment for preachers to share the Good News in a way that touches hearts and invites people into a personal relationship with Christ, opening the door to salvation.

It’s all about a relationship, not a religion.

When your life is drastically and miraculously changed due to the decision to give the care of it over to the One who knows best, you can’t help but tell others about it. You want everyone you know and care about to experience the peace, joy, and comfort that can only be found in Christ.

I’ll keep today’s newsletter short and sweet. Have a blessed Easter. Enjoy your church, friends, family, and most of all, your Savior. If you don’t know Him, a simple prayer will change your life forever.

**A Prayer to Invite Jesus Into Your Heart**

Dear Jesus,

I come to You with an open heart.

Please forgive me for all my sins—those I know and those I don’t.

I believe You died for me and rose again to give me new life.

I invite You into my life to be my Lord and Savior.

Help me follow You, grow in Your love, and live in Your peace every day.

Thank You for loving me unconditionally and never leaving me.

Amen.
