Through the months of April and May, we invite children, ages 5-12 to join us following our praise and worship to take a look at the life of Joseph, from his childhood days with his family in the land of Canaan, through his eventual service in Potiphar’s house and imprisonment in the land of Egypt.
Happy and blessed birthdays go to Michael Cummings(4-14), Pete Anthony Talamantez(5-3) and to our Nursery worker, Rose Roach(5-17).

“The Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many” (Matthew 28:20). Without contradiction, we can say that Chirst came to earth to die. From the beginning of His minsitry, Jesus informed His disciples to take up their cross and follow Him. He told them that unless they ate His flesh and drank His blood, they had no life in themselves.
Moses’ revelation of the blood is described in Exodus 12: “When I see the blood, I will pass over you” (v. 13). The blood of an innocent, meek lamb would substitute for an entire household. Like that lamb Christ was a gentle, humble servant who never sought the glory and exaltation for which the disciples were constantly striving.
The firstborn of Israel deserved death just as much as Pharaoh’s own firstborn did. Instead, the blood of the lamb ransomed, it paid for, bought back, their lives. This is Christianity’s focus: we deserve to die, and Christ died in our place-the “just for the unjust” (1st Peter 3:18). Brothers and sisters rejoice today in the power of the blood of Jesus who ransomed you from death.
