HCP - Ep. 95 - Under EASTER Pressure
It’s EASTER week! Praise God for the resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!! But how quickly does our celebration take on pressures we were never intended to carry? As pastors, we stress out this week probably more than any other in the year. Is the lawn perfect, is the choir ready, will I preach the greatest sermon of my life, will we reach all who are in need of the Gospel? Can we just stop you there and say - it’s not on your shoulders!! Only the Father can draw someone to Himself (Jn. 6:44) so how do we prepare for this Sunday with a healthy heart and soul, joy in our faith for the hope we have in the resurrected Jesus and celebrate God’s goodness with our immediate and church families? One this episode of the HCP, Larry and Drew talk about this very topic. Sadly we place SO much weight on one service or weekend, when our focus should be on our church family as disciple makers who share the hope of the resurrection every single day of the year!
Hope you can take a deep breath this week, and serve God’s family with joy and peace in who you are in Christ and let go of some of the stress we pile on ourselves that we could never carry if we wanted to.
We pray God blesses our services, but more importantly, that God would equip and send out His people to proclaim the resurrection of Jesus every day of the year!
