Hallelujah, He is Risen!!! Easter is the celebration of Christ's resurrection, a central foundation in Christianity. The resurrection demonstrated that He is God and that He has power over death and victory over sin. Praise God!
It was a blessing to be able to worship this morning. And, the message was on "No Fear". Once again, God has spoken to my theme this year, to not be afraid; for only through Christ, can we truly "be not afraid", to have the assurance that He loves us, and the hope that we will spend eternity with Him.
One of the highlights of this Easter weekend for m
e was the Steven Curtis Chapman and Michael W Smith United Tour. I have grown up listening to both artists and loving their music. What wonderful music ministries they have both had.
It was poignant to hear SCC talk about losing Maria; and it gave new meaning to the part in "
Blessed Be Your Name" where it says "
You give and take away; My heart will choose to say Lord, blessed be Your name"
It was beautiful when Steven sang "
I Will Be Here", while Michael played keyboards, and they had a cello and violin in the background.
One of the most worshipful moments was then Michael sang "
Deep in Love With You" from his newest album "
A New Hallelujah"
Also, it was fun to hear them sing each other's songs. It's amazing to think about how much great music they have both written and recorded!
If I were to choose, out of all the great parts of the concert, which was my favorite, it was when Michael played "
The Giving" from his "
Freedom" CD. I've always loved hearing the piano, and he is such a talented composer. I am inspired to practice playing that song now. One of the things that I wish I knew more of, are the stories behind the songs on that album. He did mention, though, that the album was the soundtrack of his life.
Well, I've been truly blessed this weekend, with a neat Good Friday service with communion, a great MWS & SCC concert, and Easter worship this morning at church. It was interesting though, that I was reminded to always be ready for His coming again; for I almost got into a car accident last night. We never know when it is our time to go. I just need to keep living my life for HIM!
