 Video:  "THE GREATEST LOVE: The Resurrected Life" - 4-4-21

As we worship together "from house to house," we celebrate Easter as the most important day of history.  All of creation history and redemptive history found fulfillment on this fateful occasion.  God was restoring His creation and redeeming His family.  For this, we celebrate.

If you cannot join us this Sunday, we invite you to sing along with the worship videos.  We encourage you to take the Lord’s Supper.  In this way, we can take communion together even though we are apart.  Pray for one another.  Watch my message "THE GREATEST LOVE: The Resurrected Life."  Respond to the invitation.  Enjoy the bonus video.

WORSHIP

COMMUNION

Read ‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭15:21-22‬ ‭NIV,‬‬ “For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man. For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive."  Here is a possible communion prayer to say before you take the bread and the juice, “Father, we praise you for the resurrection.  We have been set free from the penalty of death.  We have been made alive in Christ.  With our new life, we now humbly serve you.  In Jesus’ name, amen.”

Take the Lord's Supper.

PRAYER

Pray for the courage to share the hope of the resurrected life with someone who is hopeless and in despair.

MESSAGE

CHALLENGE

"Keep Kenwood Connected" has been a reminder to stay connected with your church family since January.  In February, we added "Connecting Others to Jesus" as a way to have a conversation with someone about Jesus.  This month we add "Share the Greatest Love."  The challenge this week is to share with someone else your hope of a resurrected life found in the resurrected Jesus which gives us anticipation for our new home in heaven.  Try to find someone who is in despair and hopeless.

INVITATION

It is our custom to offer an "invitation" following the preaching of the Word at Kenwood Church.  You may want to follow Jesus.  You may want to proclaim your faith.  You may want to repent (stop doing ungodly things and start doing Godly things).  Perhaps you want to be baptized for the forgiveness of your sins and receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.  Possibly, if you have already responded to God’s call in these way, you would like to become a member of Kenwood Church.  If you have been moved by the Holy Spirit to make a decision in your life, I encourage you to speak with me via phone (248-476-8222) or an email (toddlackie@kenwoodchurch.org).  I would be honored to speak with you about what God is doing in your life and try to connect you with a community of faith in your area.
