Cool River Easter Recap

Well they say that Easter is kinda like the Super Bowl for church. And they're right. It's a huge day in the life of the church.

I've always tried to fight against the "special Sunday" mentality but you know...it's real. More people come to church on Easter than any other Sunday. It's a big deal.

It is no doubt a special day and I get hyped up and emotional about it from a personal standpoint. But from a church standpoint I always find myself wishing everyone would want to party like it's Easter every Sunday of the year. You know what I'm sayin'?

Either way, though, I believe with all my heart that we should definitely be ready to take full advantage of the opportunity that we are given by God on this special day.

OK...so with all that off my chest....let me just say that Easter at Cool River was AWESOME.

• Worship was inspiring and the team was ON! There was a lot of energy and passion!
  

• Communion (Lord's Supper) was extremely meaningful. It was awesome to see the people participate. I was an emotional wreck through this for myself and the church. I couldn't hold back the tears.
  

• I felt free and alive during my message. I talked about the factors that led me to surrender my life and follow Jesus as my King. (The message should be up here in a day or two.)
  

• The auditorium was packed. It's always fun to keep setting out more and more chairs. (I admit it. I liked it! Probably too much.)
  

It was a really great day with a bunch of really great people and I feel blessed to have been a part of it.

My prayers:

• That Jesus was honored by our worship.

• That communion brought genuine reflection to hearts and helped people truly remember the sacrifice that was made for them

• That my story resonated with many and that every single person took their next step in their Journey with Jesus.

• That every person in that room yesterday will be moved to party like it's Easter and follow Jesus as their King every Sunday they gather in worship, every day they live and every breath they take.

How was Easter Sunday for you? Let's keep celebrating!
