BECAUSE JESUS LIVES...
NOT ONLY IS OUR ETERNITY SECURE, BUT WE HAVE ABUNDANT BLESSINGS TO FACE LIFE HERE AND NOW.
It is easy to become so engrossed in the details of historical events—who, when, where—that we miss their significance. For example, consider World War II. There are many compelling stories. Lots of dates and data to remember. However, for a moment, set all that aside, and just imagine the Allies had lost. How would the world be different today? Would freedom exist in Europe? With historical events, you miss out if you focus only on the details: who, when, where. You also need to focus on what that historical event means. The Allies won. That means something!
In this season of Easter, it is good we review the details: who, when, where. That reminds us that the resurrection of Christ is not fairytale or fable. It is a historical event . . . THE historical event. However, we do ourselves a disservice if we simply recall the historic details of Easter without thinking long and hard about Easter’s significance. Jesus won. That means something! It is our privilege and pleasure to use the fifty days of Easter to discuss this fact: because he lives, not only is our eternity secure, but we have abundant resources to face the present.
Join us next week for our Easter series: BECAUSE HE LIVES

Good friday service of darkness 7 pm
On Good Friday we remember the crucifixion and death of our Lord both with sorrow and solemn joy. We look at Jesus on the cross, and there is sorrow. He is there because of us. He is there because he loves us that much, so much he gave us his last breath. Jesus took all our guilt into the tomb with him. It will stay there. He will not. That is why we can call this Friday good.

Easter worship 8:00 + 10:30 am
It is as simple as this. Because Jesus lives, we have a whole new identity: not sinners, but redeemed saints; not rebels, but God’s chosen nation; not doomed, but saved; not only servants, but sons and daughters of God Almighty; not losers, but victorious, because Christ gives us the victory. The living Lord has given us a whole new identity. It is all because of him. It is all because he lives.

Rocky Mountain Lutheran H.S.
Our Lutheran high school educates students not just for college acceptances, but for a meaningful life of learning and serving their Savior in whatever journey God has planned for them. From personal growth in faith huddles to the academic rigor of science courses, from developing skills in athletics to learning to serve each other despite our differences; we understand the challenges high school students face, and we value mentoring students throughout these sometimes rocky years.

Help our MLC student get funding
We have one student headed to Martin Luther College this fall! Every year, MLC matches every dollar raised up to $1000 per student. We are about halfway to getting our student this scholarship. Help us get our student fully funded to receive the extra (and much needed) financing! Please consider designating a special gift to help their studies to become future pastors and Christian education teachers! Congratulations Jake V! God bless your future studies and beyond!
