He is STILL Risen!

This morning I was reflecting on Easter and the Lenten season in general.  I not only thought about what it means to me personally, but what it means to the future of our Life Groups.  Many thought filled my mind, but one thing became very clear to me this year: The Easter message is the sole reason that we gather in Life Groups.  It's the sole reason that we do anything.  It all comes down to the Resurrection of Christ. It’s that simple. If it were not for this powerful fact, I would have no reason to write this blog and we would have no reason to lead Life Groups.  

As we move on from Easter Sunday, let us remember that that He is STILL risen!  The same Resurrection power that radically changed the world is still as strong today as it has ever been and will continue to transform our communities if we allow it.  If we hold this truth in our hearts and live it with all that we are, it will come through in our leadership and our groups will grow deeper spiritually and healthier.  We need to strive to make sure that this comes across to our Life Groups in all that we do.  Easter is over and now we have set the stage for what the Resurrection is all about. As we move forward, we have the perfect opportunity to build on what salvation in Christ really means.  We now have the basic foundation to reveal what the Kingdom of God is all about.  And we have the essential truth presented so that God's love and grace are manifested in reality.  He is STILL Risen!
