**Action Steps to Celebrating The King

Step 1: Celebrate the Eternal King: Daniel 7:14 - "He was given authority, honor, and sovereignty over all the nations of the world, so that people of every race and nation and language would obey him. His rule is eternal—it will never end. His kingdom will never be destroyed.”
​
Step 2: Our Sacrificial King: Revelation 19: 12-13 - "His eyes were like flames of fire, and on his head were many crowns. A name was written on him that no one understood except himself. He wore a robe dipped in blood, and his title was the Word of God.”

Step 3: Our King Is Alive: Acts 2:31 - "David was looking into the future and speaking of the Messiah’s resurrection. He was saying that God would not leave him among the dead or allow his body to rot in the grave.”

** Pastor Mike will  NOT likely be in the office on any specific day this week. This week will still include therapy, more doctors appointments, and work to be done for Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter Sunday. It will be full. 

** Last Sunday Worship Night - If you were not able to be there last night, you missed a movement of the Holy Spirit. We learned about what Holy Week is all about, and we let the Holy Spirit cleanse us and heal us. I pray that you will be ready for April 26th which will take place at Cornerstone Fellowship of DeGraff.
