As we're leading up to Easter Sunday, our focus at Turning Point is taking advantage of a holiday, when people who may not go to church every Sunday will be looking for a place to attend on this particular Sunday, and inviting them to church. Not because they should. Not because it's this particular Sunday. But because it's an opportunity with better than average odds that they will come. And they might meet Jesus.
And Easter Sunday presents it's own unique opportunity, if we as Christians capitalize on it. It's like the most exciting day to celebrate as Christians. It's the day we celebrate that Jesus did what no other could do in their own power and that is RAISE FROM THE DEAD. He is alive. And that should be our day to show our joy that our God can conquer all, including death! So that means this should be the most exciting day for a visitor to come - it's a big party!
So keep these things on the forefront of your mind over the next two weeks. We'll be starting a new message series on Easter about Baggage. The new Creative team will be "theme-ing" out the church and auditorium. Everybody will be wearing some shade of pastel I'm sure. There might even be frilly dresses involved....but the focus will be on Jesus and those who might meet him for the first time.
