Worship Music for Good Friday and Easter services, April 14th & 16th, 2017

"...the men said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here, but has risen." (Luke 24:5-6)


     We must always be very careful where we are seeking Jesus: among the dead or the living. Seeking Jesus among the dead means to relegate Him and His words to the ancient wisdom of a historical figure, beneficial but optional and largely irrelevant to the issues of modern living. 

     Seeking a living Jesus is an altogether different prospect -- one which acknowledges His mastery over death, His power over life, and His absolute authority over everything. A dead Jesus can be admired, quoted, and then easily cast aside, like an accessory to be worn when it matches your outfit that day. But a living Jesus is a Lord and King and demands our absolute devotion. Which one we seek at any given moment says far more about us than about Him.

Here are the songs we will sing together as a community of Christ-followers celebrating a living Jesus:
