Good Friday Service

WHEN: Fri April 10th, 7:30pm
WHERE: ACC John Sung Bldg

Join us and the English congregation for "Portraits of the Passion" at 7:30pm in ACC's John Sung Bldg as we remember Jesus’ sacrifice for us on the cross. Please arrive on time.

In this week leading up to Easter Sunday, we encourage you to contemplate what Jesus' sacrifice means to you. Personally.  Christ came to serve and give his life as a ransom for many (Matt 20:28).  The death of the Son of Man was a ransom--a payment made to set you and me free from the deadly power of sin.  Our debt to God was infinite, and takes an eternity in hell to pay it off.  And when Jesus came, he overcame evil by doing what had to be done first--paying the debt--not by persuading people not to sin or to talk them out of sinning.  Only after Jesus paid our debt that we could not pay ourselves, can we enjoy being free and be declared righteous by faith. Knowing this, what does that mean to you? How is that reflected in your life?  (source: John Piper)

Easter service will be this Sunday, at 9:30am in the ACC Taylor gym.  What friends of yours can benefit from hearing about the amazing gift of life that Jesus Christ enables us to have?  As people are more willing to enter a church on Easter day, we challenge you to step out in faith and invite them!
