Firsts in scripture seem to get our attention, i.e. First man and woman created - First sin - First man called by God (Abraham) - First prophet (Moses) - Israel's First king (Saul). This Sunday it's the First sermon preached in the newly established church on the day of Pentecost. (Acts 2)
As would be expected, Peter lays the foundation for this new church when he declared to his audience, "repent and be baptized everyone of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins." (Acts 2:38) Paul later affirmed this when he said, "no one can lay any other foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ."
Join us Sunday as we go back to our foundation and appreciate again the new thing brought in by the Holy Spirit that took God's people into "A New Day."

This Sunday in our New Life series, we will spend time meditating on Jesus’ powerful conversation with Nicodemus and what it truly means to be “born again.” We will explore the beauty of being born of water and Spirit—not merely improved outwardly, but completely transformed through Christ into a new life. We will see how baptism points to death, cleansing, resurrection, and a completely new identity in Christ. As Sunday approaches, take time to consider: are you simply familiar with Jesus, or have you truly been made new by Him?
Dock Choir will be sharing with us on Sunday.

We continue the new life theme of our current series this Sunday in what I call "New Life - Family Analogy." The family is so basic it seems like all the rest of life somehow flows out of it! I suppose that's why they say, "as goes the family, so goes our culture." Think about it, what would be the glue that could possibly hold a culture together apart from family? And yes, why would it be otherwise when the all-knowing and gracious God who desires for us the very best, first created the individual family and then gave us the instruction manual (the Bible) to go along with it!
And, so significant to the life of our families are our mothers. This Sunday is Mother’s Day - God bless all of you who have brought so much of who God is into our families. It's no coincidence that the one He intended to be the most intimate with our children He made sure they had a heart to do so!
Happy Mother’s Day!!

This Sunday, we begin our new series New Life by wrestling with a sobering truth from Ephesians 2:1–10—we are not merely struggling apart from Christ, but spiritually dead. Yet into that reality comes one of the most hope-filled turns in Scripture: “But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy…” We will explore what it truly means to be made alive with Christ, not only for the future, but for how we live right now. This passage reminds us that salvation is entirely God’s work, yet it leads to a transformed life of purpose and obedience. As we prepare for Sunday, consider this: are you still holding onto an old identity, or are you walking in the new life God has already given you?

Spring is here and you can’t miss it! All throughout the northern hemisphere of planet earth, the natural world is daily revealing the evidence of new life—budding trees, blossoming flowers, busy and buzzing bees. But these natural testimonies and the new natural life they point to desperately pale in comparison to an infinitely greater springtime. Christ has risen and has become the firstfruits of God’s New Creation! We ourselves (together with every man, woman, and child alive today) are living in the spiritual springtime of God’s grace—all around are evidence of God’s reviving, restoring, and regenerating work in the world. As you go about your week, pause and consider this: how is my life showing the world that spring has sprung?

This week is Celebrate Recovery Sunday! Celebrate Recovery is a Christ-centered, 12-step recovery group that we have hosted at Franconia for 20 years! Every year we are given the opportunity to share with our congregation what God is doing through our CR ministry. This Sunday, we want to encourage our congregation to consider God's amazing grace in our lives, and the fact that He's not finished with us yet! Sunday morning we will hear a few testimonies from our CR group of God's grace and how the CR ministry has helped encourage each on their journey. Please be in prayer for those sharing- that the Lord will direct their hearts and minds as they prepare to give testimony to God's work in their lives.

The first encounter of the resurrected Christ with humanity is tone setting. There are so many facets to resurrection that the gospels emphasize, but honing on this first interaction we see a God who is deeply loving of His people. Although Mary weeps in the garden the story is one of joy, truth, and mission.

The early church was a suffering church. The first three hundred years of Christian worship was shaped by the reality of persecution. In 313, the Emperor declared that Christians must be tolerated. Believers took advantage of their new freedom and soon after would be found waving palm branches through the streets of Jerusalem, reenacting Jesus’ triumphal entry into the city. Wearing no royal robe or crown, our humble Prophet-King was lauded by the same crowds who soon would cry out for His crucifixion. But this isn’t the only portrait of triumph drawn on the pages of the New Testament. Come and celebrate our King as we anticipate the lonely road of His (and our) victory.

This Sunday we are taking a look at another key teaching from Jesus before He went to the cross. A teaching that comes to us in a parable which calls us to stay prepared. What does preparation look like in your daily life? How do you prepare for normal day to day activities? Now apply your faith to this. Through the parable of the ten virgins, we see the danger of a careless faith that professes belief yet disregards true spiritual preparation. But there is also hope, hope for those who wait on the lord and stay prepared!

We have been declaring during this season that because he lives, we can trust his authority, bear fruit, love others and this Sunday live with integrity and freedom. But let me add just one more - it is also because he did not leave us as orphans ( Jn 14:18) as he promised when he ascended, but as the father sent the Son, so the Holy Spirit came to give us power to become the children of God.
This Sunday, "because he lives, we can live with integrity and freedom." Jesus, in Luke's gospel forcefully called out those who pitifully lacked integrity and then Jesus words again in John's gospel declares there is freedom for all of us who were slaves to sin.
Pray that God's Spirit will set free all who need to know God's glorious freedom!
