Easter Sunday

Let nothing be done out of selfish ambition, or vain conceit.

But in lowliness of mind, let each esteem others as better than himself.

Rom. 12


Create in me a clean heart, Oh God,

And renew a right spirit within me.

Cast me not away from your presence, Oh Lord,

And take not thy Holy Spirit from me.

Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation

And renew a right spirit within me


Melody, Regina, Esther, Dinah & April

Oh Lord, our Lord, How majestic is your name in all the earth!

Blessed is the man, who fears the Lord,

Who delights greatly in his commandments…


His descendants will be mighty on the earth.
The generation of the upright will be blessed.


Papa and Jodavid


Pastor Campbell preached on Luke 24: Rome could not hold back the Resurrection.


The Jews came to Pilate saying, "Now that deceiver said that he would die and rise again on the third day. His disciples will steal away the body and say He has risen from the dead. Now the last deception will be worse than the first."

Pilate told them, "You have a guard, go and make it as secure as you know how." The Jews set a guard of 16 men, setting a Roman seal on the mouth of the tomb.

The third day an Angel came, rolled back the stone breaking the seal. Jesus the Christ rose from the dead. The guards “shook and became like dead men.” The penalty for breaking a Roman seal is death, and only a person designated by Rome could legally break the seal.


Who appointed the angel? God did. He commands kings to “Kiss the Son.” Psalm 2 And he laughs at their plots to break His law.

Render to Caesar the things which are Caesar’s and to God the things which are God’s. God “broke” man’s law. Man proposes God disposes.

But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you,

He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life

to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.

Rom. 8:11
