It's a Beautiful Life

I am so grateful it is spring and warmer weather is just on the horizon! Looking forward to the coming months, I am excited about what the season holds for our church and community. Just upon us is the Children’s Easter Celebration where we will host many community families and show them the love of Christ and exalt Him as our Risen savior, a God who is alive and active. Also in April, our spring blood drive will be another way we will engage our community while providing necessary resources to those in need throughout our state. In May, we have a yard/bake sale and carwash to support this year’s Jamaica mission team and we look forward to our special Memorial Day service. In June, school lets out, GAP will be in full swing for summer and VBS will enable us to serve and evangelize children within our church and in our community. With all hands on deck and in His strength, we will accomplish what the Lord has commissioned us to do. To serve alongside you all at Gospel is truly a blessing and I am grateful for the continued opportunity to do so.

With the Lord being who He is and giving all He gave and continues to give, life is absolutely beautiful! In Him do we live, move and have our being. Oswald Chambers highlights the beauty of our life lived in Christ’s so wonderfully in his devotional, My Utmost for His Highest, I would like to share it with you.

“Our Lord’s cross is the gateway into His life: His resurrection means that He has power now to convey His life to me. When I am born again from above, I receive from the risen Lord His very life.

Our Lord’s Resurrection destiny is to bring “many sons unto glory.” The fulfilling of His destiny gives Him the right to make us the sons and daughters of God. We are never in the relationship to God that the Son of God is in; but we are brought by the Son into the relation of sonship. When our Lord rose from the dead, He rose to an absolutely new life, to a life He did not live before He was incarnate. He rose to a life that had never been before; and His resurrection means for us that we are raised to His risen life, not to our old life. One day we shall have a body like unto His glorious body, but we can know now the efficacy of His resurrection and walk in a newness of life. “I would know Him in the power of His resurrection.”


“As thou hast given Him power over all flesh, that He should give eternal life to as many as Thou hast give Him.” “Holy Spirit” is the Eternal Life working in human beings here and now. The Holy Spirit is the Deity in proceeding power Who applies the Atonement to our experience. Thank God it is gloriously and majestically true that the Holy Ghost can work in us the very nature of Jesus if we will obey Him.”


Praise the Lord, He is the Resurrected King of Glory, I am His and He is mine! His life is living in us and producing the nature of Christ as we reverence Him in all things.
