At Anchor
Good Wednesday to you,
He Is Risen! He Is Risen Indeed!
The Church gathered together was most certainly a wonderful celebration—when I say Church, you know I mean God’s people all around the world—because there is only one Church! What a joy it was to hear other worshiping communities celebrating the Resurrection of our Lord and Savior.
It started with a promise to a man named Abraham. "I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you…all the peoples on earth will be blessed through you." With Abraham, God broke the cycle, changing the trajectory of history, and on Easter Sunday that promise came to fulfillment. It is finished!
The Resurrection changed everything. The Resurrection affirms and confirms who Jesus is as the final sacrifice for our sins. We have this hope as an anchor for our souls, firm and secure. Jesus entered the inner sanctuary behind the curtain on our behalf. He became the High Priest in the order of Melchizedek. Through Jesus' life, death, and resurrection we cling to God’s immutable character and our hope is anchored.
As many of you already know, San Diego County is officially in Tier 2: Orange. What does this mean for us? It means an increased attendance capacity from 25% to 50%. We will continue to livestream and provide outdoor seating—all are welcome to worship in the way they are most comfortable.
This Sunday we will celebrate communion and continue our journey through Hebrews, looking specifically at chapter 7 verses 1-10. Communion elements will be made available for anyone who would like to participate. However, you are welcome to bring your own.
Lastly, a special thank you to Kimberlee, the praise team, musicians, and all those who volunteered to make Easter special. From the lilies, to the beautiful cross outside the sanctuary decorated with flowers, to the trumpets—it was a glorious day. To God be all honor and glory!
He Is Risen! He Is Risen Indeed!
Grace and peace,
Pastor David
