The Greatest Day in History!

The day Jesus rose from the dead is without a doubt the greatest day in the history of the world. This momentous event accomplished at least these four things:

1. Validated every word Jesus spoke about Himself, the Father and the whole of Scripture – as in His earthly ministry Jesus referenced virtually every major theme and person of the Bible including creation, Adam, the flood, Abraham, Moses, David, Jonah and much more.
2. Broke the hold Satan had on this world and restored authority to Jesus.
3. Secured the forgiveness of sins for all who would place their faith in Him.
4. Overcame the power of death and became the first-fruits of the resurrection; insuring that all who believe in Him would one day share in a bodily resurrection.

See why I call this the greatest day in the history of the world?

And since Easter is the greatest day in history, we are going to do our best this Sunday to celebrate it in the best way we possibly can. First, we are going to glorify God in song with some of the best music you will find anywhere. Second, we are going to proclaim God’s Word and seek to understand how Jesus really was guilty of the crime for which He was tried, convicted and executed (this is a teaser regarding the theme of Sunday’s sermon). Third, we are going to give people the opportunity to place their faith in the risen Lord.

In addition to these very serious matters, our kids, after hearing an age-appropriate message about the resurrection, will get to join in an Easter egg hunt and take home a bag full of Easter eggs filled with candy. You won’t want to miss this great day, nor do you want miss out on the opportunity to invite someone to church for this very special day.

Please note the special service times for Easter Sunday:

8:30 AM, 10:00 AM and 11:30 AM

I look forward to seeing you this Sunday at The Bridge!

Sprucing up at The Bridge!

April 6, 2017 We want to get our church grounds looking as nice as possible for Easter, so this Saturday at 9 AM we will be spreading mulch in the parking islands and planter areas. Remember two years ago when we endeavored to clean out the parking lot islands and it took about eight Saturdays, a backhoe, a wood chipper and a lot of hard work? This won’t be like that. Because of all the hard work, some of us did then (yes, I was there – a time or two!) – this will only require 15-20 people, some rakes, shovels and wheel barrows if you have one and just a few hours. Saturday is supposed to be a beautiful day, so come out and enjoy some fun in the sun! If you have any questions, you can contact Chris Mitchell at 859-653-3173 or by email at chris.mitchell@thebridgenky.com. 6,000 Easter Eggs are Ready! Because of the great response to our request for candy for the Easter egg hunt and some very fast workers after the first service this past Sunday, we now have 6,000 Easter eggs ready for our Easter egg hunt on Easter Sunday. The Easter egg hunt will take place during each of the three services with three different age groups that will include Pre-school through 5th grade. Let’s not miss this opportunity to invite family and friends to what will be a fun and exciting Easter. If you have already bought Easter candy and you don’t want to eat it all yourself, you may still bring it in and we will make sure kids leave with plenty of candy. Easter Service Times will be 8:30, 10:00 and 11:30 AM If you are able, try to come to the 8:30 or 11:30 AM service as I believe the 10 AM service will be the most heavily attended. Please be praying that God will open hearts to the gospel! See you Sunday! Bo
