I am sure most of us think we are good citizens— good people doing good things. That we live right and treat others right. Yet, is that the same thing as living an upright life, a life that is in line with God’s word? Scripture reminds us to pursue righteousness. Righteousness is a long word that means to live rightly as God asks us to live. When a woman is healed after 16 years of being hunched over, her immediate action was to praise God! Our lives, how we live them ought to praise God through every aspect of them.
If you think back over your week, there probably was a time when you forgot something. Maybe it was you forgot to pick up something at the store. You forgot to say something to a friend or co-worker. Or even, you forgot a special day. Memorial Day is that day that reminds us to remember. Remember those who sacrificed their lives for our freedoms. We have a pattern of forgetfulness. Maybe its in how fast paced our lives have become but we not only forget the simple things we forget the all important spiritual things in our lives. This weekend, we will gather to remember and worship the God who remembers.
As fellow Christians we’re not supposed to wait to see what happens, we are to be what does happen. The tomb is empty, we’ve been told the good news that Jesus is alive and yet, we’re walking away. Until we come in direct contact with Jesus and have a conversation with Him do we truly recognize who He is through the Word of God and ultimately we have communion with Him. But it doesn’t end there. We are to be lit on fire with a passion so great that His story continues in and through our lives.
We begin our sermon series on LEAP with a look at what it means to Let go of the past. Letting go of the past is our first step in taking the LEAP toward the plan God has for us personally and as a Church.
This week, we continue by talking about what we believe and a look at the Apostle's Creed. Our focus today will be on the next two stanzas, “the communion of the saints and the forgiveness of sins.” These are two important beliefs of a follower of Jesus Christ because, in them, we find we are set free from the bondage of sin and enter a family that is as numerous as the stars.
He is Risen! He is Risen indeed! Join us as we celebrate the Savior! He rose so that we can be free from the wages of sin and death.

Join First Church This morning for worship. We hope you will be uplifted and encouraged about the wounds that we once had are no more through the cross of Jesus Christ. Today we address the wounds of adultery.
This is the next in the Series on By His Wounds We Are Healed sermons. We focus on the wounds of murder. Murder can mean more than what you think it might. Thank you for joining us for this service.
