Resurrection power!

He has risen indeed!

“But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man. For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.” – 1 Corinthians 15:20-22.

I love this time of the year when the global church is celebrating the death, burial and resurrection of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. It’s good to be reminded of the amazing truth that Jesus is alive, and because He is alive, we too have the promise of resurrection. As the apostle Paul tells the church in Corinth, if Christ is not raised then our faith is futile and in vain; but he emphatically states that Jesus was indeed raised from the dead. So, our faith is not in vain, but is alive because He is alive. Hallelujah!

And it is because of this good news, this gospel – “For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas, and then to the Twelve.” – 1 Corinthians 15:3-5 – that we are so excited every week to be sharing the truth of Jesus with young people in Llandudno and beyond.

The world might be in lockdown due to Covid-19, but the gospel of Jesus certainly isn’t in lockdown.

So, last night we had another brilliant Redefine session online, meeting with young people via the wonders of modern technology. We continued to look at the gospel of Mark, specifically Mark 1:16-20. We looked at Jesus calling His first disciples; Peter, Andrew, James & John. As we studied this passage we asked ourselves the following questions – Who does this passage reveal Jesus to be? What did Jesus come to do? and What about Jesus, made these 4 young men leave everything immediately? (Read the passage yourself and answer the questions)

We also had a time for worship and prayer. It was great.

This isn’t the only event we are hosting for young people during the lockdown. We also have a Thursday night and Friday night Instagram event for young people, and our very own Vlog callled RE:TV.

So just as we serve a living Saviour, the work of Llandudno Youth for Christ is very much alive and kicking. If you want to and are able to support us in this vital outreach, we would be so grateful. One-off gifts are wonderful but monthly commitments help even more. Could you prayerfully consider partnering with us at this time. We are not being held back during this crisis and we’d love to move forward with you! Please go to https://www.give.net/20105661

You can also support us by praying for the young people that come to our events, that they would realise how much they are loved by God, and how much blessing they have in Jesus, our risen Saviour.

Be blessed!
