Peace In the Community Feedback

The initiative "Peace in the Community" concluded Easter Sunday, as we encouraged Peace members to take their small groups, board meetings, and other church-related activities out into the community for the month before Easter, inviting others around them to Peace's Holy week worship opportunities. We would like to hear stories of your experiences as you invited people to worship with us during Holy Week. We had many visitors on Sunday and some of them were here because you asked them. Your stories will encourage others to step out in faith and invite someone to church, so tell us about it!

How Valuable are You?

“You have been bought and paid for by Christ, so you belong to Him –
be free now from all these earthly prides and fears.” 1 Corinthians 7:23

How much do you think you’re worth? Not your net worth but your self worth. Don’t ever confuse your valuables with your value as a person. What determines value is what Someone is willing to pay for it. You have been bought and paid for by Christ. How much does that make you worth? The Bible says you belong to God. God exchanged His own Son for you! The cross proves your value. Jesus didn’t die for junk. You are incredibly valuable. Nobody has ever paid a greater price than God paid for you. Luther said it this way: “All this He does only out of fatherly, divine goodness and mercy, without any merit or worthiness in me. For all this it is my duty to thank and praise, serve and obey Him. This is most certainly true.”

Happy Easter,
