Ephesians 2:8-10
Happy Easter to all of you! Welcome to Easter Sunday including those of you online.
Easter is a time when God's people celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. As much as you may admire Abraham Lincoln, your parents, or MLK, JR., there are not even two people who gather every Sunday to celebrate him. But over hundred millions of people will gather together to celebrate Jesus today.
Why does Easter matter?
I want everyone to have the ''Communication Card'' near you. You'll find one in the pew in front of you. Please keep that handy. I'll share with you some instructions about this a little later in the service.

Programming Note: All throughout this morning's message, the passage will appear here next to me so you can see exactly what the Bible says. If you're having trouble seeing this screen then you'll see the same thing on the screens above as well.
1.1 What is Grace?
If you really going to understand what's the big deal about Easter, then you're going to need to understand the word grace. Grace isn't just the name of a woman in your family and grace isn't just a wa ...
