For his Easter message, Pastor Barry talks about Jesus on the cross, and WHAT He did for us. But not only what He did, but WHY He did it. He became our Savior, He gave us a life-line back to Himself, because we were heading to hell. Thank God Jesus is ALIVE!

When you serve God you need to keep 2 things in mind. Guard your motivation, why you do what you do. But know your incentive, the reward you get for obeying and serving the Lord. God is a rewarder, and your reward is waiting.

On the path that God has called you to run your life, there are many places of reward. And God wants to show us that He is a rewarder, and the fact we are rewarded is what motivates us to to serve God fully,

When Jesus called Simon Peter, he asked him leave everything and follow Him. And instantly he left his fishing company and huge catch of fish, to follow Jesus anywhere. Peter was a guy who did everything at 100%. That is the kind of person Jesus is looking for, and loves to use for His Kingdom. Let's be that kind of person - be willing to do whatever He asks of you! !

In ancient Jewish custom, leprosy was considered a curse from God for the sins you had committed, and they were unclean. But there was a man with leprosy, who had an encounter with Jesus, and it changed his life. Jesus went against the Jewish Law and touch this man who had not been touched for years. Thanks to the Love of Jesus, he was restored and could come back to his normal life. Jesus is all we need, He is our fulfiller.

Jesus was being set up by the Pharisees to perform a miracle (to work) on the Sabbath day. Jesus meets a man in the temple with a deformed hand, and He heals this man. But He did it to show everyone there He is God, and He can do whatever He wants.

Jesus chose to use an adulterous woman, who was divorced 5 times, and because of her a whole town was changed as many believe in Jesus as the Messiah. Divorce has affected many, and it hurts everyone involved in it. That is why God hates divorce. But unlike what many churches teach, divorce doesn't disqualify you to be used by God, or for ministry. Jesus was clear what God's plan was for marriage, and that should be our goal!

The woman Jesus met at the well in the heat of the day, shows us how no matter how we try to distract Jesus from touching our lives, if we keep listening to Him, He will change us in every way. This outcast lady is now used by God to bring a city to Jesus, to believe in Him as the Savior of the World.
