Call to Worship - Dave Hunt
Christ is risen! He is risen, indeed!
The realization comes suddenly. It may rise as quietly as the sun creeping over the horizon, or it may explode like fireworks, painting the world with dazzle.
Like that we recognize the One who was dead, but now is alive. Alleluia!
The angel told the women that he had risen on that first day of the week..
And we know that he comes to life in us today.
Christ is Risen, Risen indeed!
We worship him today and always! Alleluia!
