Wednesday  Greetings Beloved: 
12:00 ­1:00 PM 
Easter Sunday is the holiest and happiest day in Christian worship, for it is the day that 
Noonday Bible Study   
  Jesus Christ rose from the dead—demonstrating the powerlessness of Satan over all areas 
6:30 PM Fellowship Meal  of life, including death itself.  No longer need we fear anything or anyone in this life or the 
7:00 PM Bible Study     next.  In Christ there is life, there is victory, there is opportunity, there is forgiveness, and 
  there is always the certainty that tomorrow can be better than yesterday. 
 
  So whatever you do, never allow the shackles of your past to imprison your future.  If 
  Christ can break the shackles of death itself, then certainly he can break through 
  whatever is holding you back.  Consider Ephesians 1:18: 
 
  I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know . . . 
Email  God’s incomparably great power for us who believe.  That power is like the working of 
info@  his mighty strength which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead. 
greaterfirstunited.com 
  This means that the same power that broke the shackles of death itself is dwelling in you.  
1409 Deep River Road  So this Easter Sunday, expect your breakthrough.  If not now, when?  If not here, where?  
High Point, NC 27265  If not you, who?  Simply believe.  Right now.  You’ll be glad you did.

To God Be the Glory!
