The Royal Wedding

I’ll probably have to turn in my “Man Card” to the nearest authority for admitting this but yeah….I watched part of the Royal Wedding this morning.  It was a huge historical and cultural event rife with all the pageantry the English Royals can muster.  You can check out other websites for reactions to the wedding dress, William’s choice of uniform and the roster of royal friends who made up the cavalry because I have no intention in weighing in on any of that.  I did, however, have one thought and it here it is.  This wedding was fantastic, but it cannot even begin to compare in elegance or significance to mine, or to yours if you belong to Jesus.  One day He’s coming back and on that day those who belong to Him will meet Him as His pure and spotless bride.  Check out Revelation 21 for yourself.  England does it well, but Heaven throws a wedding that’s out of this world and I’m looking forward to being a part of it!

Easter Week

Today, Palm Sunday, marks one of the most significant weeks in the whole year for a Christian. This is the week we remember Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem as the promised Messiah. It’s the week we remember the growing opposition of the religious leaders and their plots against Him. It’s this week we remember Jesus celebrating Passover with His disciples and leaving us a meal by which to remember Him. It’s this week we remember His arrest, His trials, the punishment He endured, and the death He died in our place – for our sins. And it’s this week we celebrate the fact that death could not defeat Jesus, the grave could not hold Him and on the third day He burst out if the tomb bringing forgiveness and life to all who would accept Him.

This is a HUGE week and at 3 Strands we’d love to have you join us to remember and celebrate what Jesus has done. There are tons of opportunities this week including events for kids Wednesday and Saturday, a Passover Meal Thursday Evening, and worship Sunday morning at 10:30am.

See the calendar for more information and make plans to join us this week as we remember and celebrate what Jesus has done for us.

He is Risen!

New Website Launch!

Hi – and thanks for visiting our new Three Strands website!  We have updated the site to make it easier to find everything you need in one place: from Mike’s sermons to a new interactive calendar.  We’re glad you could join us!  We hope to make the site even more interactive through your participation in our Prayer Forum.  After all, that’s the purpose of the church, right? – to lift one another up to the Father for wisdom and strength as we walk together on this journey!   Feel free to explore…and let us know if you have any feedback (you can email us at 3strandsinfo@gmail.com).  We’d like to keep improving the site in the coming months.

“My response is to get down on my knees before the Father, this magnificent Father who parcels out all heaven and earth. I ask him to strengthen you by his Spirit…that Christ will live in you as you open the door and invite him in.”  ~Eph 3:14-17
