Cross Purposes - Change (An Easter Message)

Pastor Wayne Braun's message on Easter Sunday was entitled, "Cross Purposes - Change" based on Mark 16: 2 - 8.   Some truths about change: change can be hard.  Change is also inevitable.  The changes God made that Easter morning are what enables us to live in this ever-changing world with faith, hope, and purpose.  At its heart Easter changes the one unchanging fact of life - Death.  By changing death, Christ's resurrection changed everything.  Christ's resurrection changes grief to hope.  "Jesus died and rose again and so God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in Him."  1 Thessalonians 4:14  Christ's resurrection changes how we live each day - from living in the moment to living with eternal purpose.
