We had incredible Easter services today. I don't have the final count but I'm almost certain that we had over 2200 people in attendance. That's 2200 people who heard about the difference that a relationship with Jesus Christ can make. The overflow in the Activity Center worked out great with the 9'x16' projection screen. A special thank you to Dan Kalan, Austin Spooner, Andrew Male and the many others who helped create space for one more person today!
Acts of Worship did a great piece about how our culture tries to avoid the cross. And Pastor Bob spoke on how at key times God seeks to break through our avoidance through:
- Awareness of nature
- Moral awakening
- Achieving success
- Experiencing pain
- Facing our own mortality
You can click on the picture above to see a slide show of the services today. Today we celebrate our risen Savior, thanking Him for His gracious gift of salvation. Today we celebrate the empty tomb and the power God has over death itself. Today we celebrate the cross.
Then Jesus said to his disciples, "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me." Matthew 16:24

Wow, word up on the service yesterday. I know of one pre Christian there (at least) who had to be just hit right between the heartbeats. Sarah, my 10 year old was so moved by the video. I love seeing God work in her life through NCBC. Have a great week.
