  14. The Christian life isn't difficult – it is impossible. If we don’t know that, we will try to do things ourselves. Faith is not necessary when we think we can do it ourselves. Faith comes along when we realize that we cannot do it on our own. Joseph Garlington

  15. The resurrection is God’s way of capturing our attention ... • .... as the living God in omnipotent action

  16. We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives. The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.  For in him all things were created: He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. But now he has reconciled you by Christ’s physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation. Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of your evil behaviour. the mystery that has been kept hidden for ages ... ...is now revealed.

  17. The Resurrection demonstrates that the divine energy of ‘in the beginning’, pulled Christ out of death, and is now available in the ever-present to give you new life. 

  18. Happy Easter Enjoy celebrating the day Contemplate the history Wonder at the mystery Long for eternity But live in the reality of the risen Christ who is one with the omnipotent God who has power to give you new life today
