As we approach the celebration of the Resur-rection of Jesus we also enter a new sermonseries on the family. Beginning on April 1,Palm Sunday, we will take a look at “AMother’s Struggle” from the life of Mary, themother of Jesus. All mothers struggle fromtime to time in raising their children andmany lessons can be learned from Mary. OnResurrection Sunday, April 8, we will look at“A Father’s Love” from the standpoint of theFather in Heaven, God Himself. God’s love forus far exceeds the love of any earthly father
but there are some similarities. We will exam-ine those and apply them to our lives and seethat the Father’s love for us was expressed inHis Son and the sacrifice made for us to haveeternal life. Be sure and invite someone tocome with you to hear these two messages.They will be life changers. Fred
