During the current heat wave engulfing the state, I thought you might like to hear some "refreshing" news.
To date, 33 churches and one Baptist Home (Riverview Estates) are studying or have completed Bible studies in the book, "Jesus Christ from Cover to Cover," and the list continues to grow!

When the weather is very hot, we are advised to drink lots of water for our physical health--why not quench your spiritual thirst by joining the "Jesus Christ from Cover to Cover" journey and drink of the "Living Water"? (John 4:10)

The form to order the book may be downloaded from this web site by going to "About Us" and clicking on "Documents and Files" and "Jesus Christ from Cover to Cover."

 Stay centered in Christ!

I hope that you are still basking in the Easter (Resurrection Sunday) experience. Yes, Jesus is alive! 

During one of our Lord's appearances after His resurrection, He told the apostles to wait in Jerusalem for the gift from God:  baptism by the Holy Spirit.  What were the apostles to expect while they waited?  Jesus explained: 

                                                        "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you;
                                                         and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea
                                                         and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."   Acts 1:8 NIV

The power of the Holy Spirit which descended on those gathered on the day of Pentecost was what enabled those early believers to be Jesus' witnesses.  We are His witnesses today by the power of the Holy Spirit.  As we commemorate Pentecost Sunday on May 11, 2008, give praise to the Father for giving us Jesus, the Son, and for the gift of the Holy Spirit!

And as always, stay centered in Christ!

P.S. - The book, "Jesus Christ from Cover to Cover" authored by Rev. Dr. Lee B. Spitzer, will aid you in being Christ-centered.  The form to order the book may be downloaded from this web site by going to "About Us" and clicking on "Documents and Files" and "Jesus Christ from Cover to Cover."

On Palm Sunday, we will remember Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem as the crowds welcomed Him with praise and adoration:

                                                              "Hosanna to the Son of David!
                                             "Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!"
                                                                  "Hosanna in the highest!"
                                                                                                                     Matthew 21:9

By the end of the week, the mood of the crowds had changed and they cried out:

                                                                           "Crucify him!"
                                                                                                                    Matthew 27:22

Although Good Friday looked hopeless, on Easter Sunday morning, our Lord arose victorious!  Praise God for His matchless gift of Jesus, the Christ!

 Stay centered in Christ!
