Awesome Easter Service- but shouldn't it be?

We had a great day yesterday as we celebrated the Resurrection of Jesus Christ! The highlights were:

1. The place was packed- thanks to the Vine members for bringing those guests!

2. The music was extraordinary as Brad and the team took us before the throne. Great song by Brad and Ali. They rocked!

3. Great audience participation as I had them stand and do the Twist complete with music- it was a point from a book 'The Twist- The Story of the Song and Dance that Changed the World.' It was good hearted and spirited fun. For many, it was the first time and probably last time they will dance in church!

4. The message on 'Changing Your World' struck a cord with all. The resurrection was the event that literally changed THE world!

5. God was glorified and souls were saved!

We had to move our picnic inside because of the weather, but that didn't stop us from eating, exciting fellowship, and having a great time together. Thank you Pat and your crew! Awesome!

Because He lives, we can face another tomorrow with victory!

I wasn't sure how Chubby Checker related to Easter until I read the title of the book.

Does that mean that Checker's sequel Twist song ("Let's Twist Again" or whatever) is representative of the Second Coming? :)

We didn't dance in our service, but our pastor had an excellent message (based on Isaiah) on our need for a Savior, and our inability to save ourselves.
