SCRIPTURESCRIPTURE Matthew 28:1-9 (NKJV)

He Is Risen

28 Now after the Sabbath, as the first day of the week

began to dawn, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary

came to see the tomb. 2 And behold, there was a great

earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from

heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the

door,[a] and sat on it. 3 His countenance was like

lightning, and his clothing as white as snow. 4 And the

guards shook for fear of him, and became like deadmen. 5 But the angel answered and said to the women, “Do

not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was

crucified. 6 He is not here; for He is risen, as He said.

Come, see the place where the Lord lay. 7 And go quickly

and tell His disciples that He is risen from the dead,

and indeed He is going before you into Galilee; there

you will see Him. Behold, I have told you.” 8 So they went out quickly from the tomb with fear and

great joy, and ran to bring His disciples word.

The Women Worship the Risen Lord 9 And as they went to tell His disciples,[b] behold, Jesus

met them, saying, “Rejoice!” So they came and held

Him by the feet and worshiped Him.

ALL: Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.

LEAD ME TO CALVARYLEAD ME TO CALVARY

King of my life I crown Thee now - Thine shall the glory be;

Lest I forget Thy thorn-crowned brow, Lead me to Calvary.

Chorus:

Lest I forget Gethsemane, Lest I forget Thine agony, Lest I forget Thy love for me, Lead me to Calvary.

Show me the tomb where Thou wast laid,

Tenderly mourned and wept; Angels in robes of light arrayed

Guarded Thee whilst Thou slept.

Let me like Mary, thru the gloom, Come with a gift to Thee;

Show to me now the empty tomb - Lead me to Calvary.

May I be willing, Lord, to bear

Daily my cross for Thee; Even Thy cup of grief to share -

Thou hast borne all for me.

Special Giving Above Tithe and Offering

“The tenth shall be holy unto the Lord.” Leviticus 27:32

Every Christian should strive to learn how to be a cheerful giver. When we give what does it actually mean? It simply means we, cheerfully give to God our tithes and offerings. Tithing honors God. Are you giving the Lord His tithes or your tips? The word tithe means to give back to God one tenth of your earnings for the support of the ministry, the expenses of the church, the relief of the poor and the spread of the Gospel throughout the world.

If you earn

You owe the Lord
