Series: Because He Lives

John 14:19
Intro/Attention
Happy Easter! We are so grateful that you are here today to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. We serve a risen Savior. He's alive! And we can have life today because Jesus conquered the grave.
I love Easter. All of you look so colorful in your Easter outfits. *I heard someone say that some folks are like Easter eggs-pretty and colorful on the outside but hard-boiled on the inside. I sure hope that's not you!*
