Continuing Our Easter Journey

What an Awesome God that we have! As we continue to celebrate our Easter Season, we see all the wonderful things that God has done and is doing for each one of us.

How will we answer these questions...

• How has my faith grown through this wonderful season?
  
• How have I let these events touch my daily life?
  
• Am I doing anything differently or have I increased my prayer time or changed anything because of the events that I have just celebrated?
  

​If  the answer is no, then what difference is this season making in my faith journey?

We can do all the wonderful things that this season calls us to do and we can go to church every Sunday, but if  it isn’t strengthening our relationship with God then we missed the point. I have recently heard and agree with the fact that Christianity is not a religion to be studied but rather a relationship with Almighty God. We need to let God’s loving relationship with us be the strength that gets us through our life journey. It is a relationship that touches every part of our life and changes who we are and how we live our life. Our bond with God is leading us to become more Christ-like to help change the world around us, into the world that God meant it to be from the very beginning of time.

Jesus Christ came to earth to restore the relationship that we had with God from the beginning of time. He came to take away our sin and restore us to a right relationship  - one that shows us that we can walk in God’s presence and enjoy his company every minute of every day. It is what we were meant to do from the beginning.

So, how am I allowing that image of  Christ to grow in my life?

With the Lord’s richest blessings,
Rev. Stephen W. Barch
