The freedom we experience in this country isn't cheap. It was purchased with the lives of men and women who fought for it. We honor them today.⁠
⁠
There's no greater love than this: than a person laying down their life for others.

Not sure who needs to hear this today…
.
But God is with you and He is for you. He is working in ways we will never fully realize this side of eternity. He is protecting you, guiding you and loving you through every experience, through every mountain’s high and valley’s low..
.
Remember that today.

Pray for our team today as they plan, prepare and seek God for the year ahead at Colonial Woods. Proverbs 16:9 says, “The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.”
.
Lord, would you guide the steps and the plans for Colonial Woods Missionary Church? We pray you give our leaders wisdom beyond their human ability and that you would use each of us as your ambassadors in our church and in our community. In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.

We are the light of the world. The world should see us, and see Jesus through us. Let that light shine today!

Changed Lives. That's what we are all about here. Because once we decide to follow Jesus, we are a new creation. The old has gone and the new has come.

We plan to celebrate that truth at our next Night of Worship on June 1st at 6:00 PM at Colonial Woods Missionary Church. Not only will we worship through song, we will also worship through hearing testimonies and baptisms.

Join us at this incredible night!

Easter Weekend was such a special time as new friends and old gathered together to celebrate our risen Savior!

We are so thankful that because of the cross we have hope everyday. Thank you, Jesus, for your sacrifice and love!

What happened after Easter?

The resurrection wasn’t the end of the story—it was the beginning of everything being made new. But so often we pack up our celebration after Easter Sunday and miss some of the most stunning and hope-filled moments that followed. Here are a few you might not know:

✨The earth shook and tombs broke open—many holy people who had died were raised to life and appeared to many in Jerusalem (Matthew 27:52–53).

✨Jesus appeared to Mary Magdalene in the garden, calling her by name (John 20:11–18).

✨He walked with two disciples on the road to Emmaus, opening the Scriptures and revealing himself in the breaking of bread (Luke 24:13–35).

✨He stood in the middle of a locked room, offering peace to fearful disciples and showing them his scars (John 20:19–23).

✨He returned for Thomas, meeting him in his doubt and inviting him to believe (John 20:24–29).

✨He cooked breakfast on the shore, restoring Peter’s heart and calling him to feed His sheep (John 21:1–19).

✨He gave the Great Commission, sending his followers to make disciples of all nations (Matthew 28:18–20).

✨He ascended into heaven, promising the gift of the Spirit and his return (Acts 1:6–11).

The risen Christ was active. Present. Intentional. Healing wounds, calming fears, confirming faith, and commissioning his people.

This is why we don’t close our Bibles after Easter!

The empty tomb is a miracle worth celebrating—but it’s only the beginning of a story we’re invited to live into every day. God has done great things—and He is still at work.

Let this be our reminder: Easter is worth celebrating, but so is everything else God has done.

So let’s keep reading. Keep rejoicing. Keep returning to the Word that reveals the Risen One.

#HeIsRisen #AfterEaster #EasterIsJustTheBeginning #ScriptureIsAlive #FaithfulEveryDay

🌅 He Is Risen! He Is Risen Indeed! 🌅⁠
⁠
The grave is empty.⁠
The stone is rolled away.⁠
Death is defeated.⁠
Jesus is alive!⁠
⁠
"Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here; He has risen!"⁠
— Luke 24:5–6⁠
⁠
What began in sorrow now bursts into joy.⁠
What looked like the end was only the beginning.⁠
The Savior who was crucified has conquered the grave — forever!⁠
⁠
Because He lives, hope lives.⁠
Because He lives, we are forgiven.⁠
Because He lives, we have eternal life.⁠
⁠
Jesus, thank You for the victory of the resurrection! You are our Risen King, and we celebrate You today and always.⁠
⁠
#EasterSunday #HeIsRisen #EmptyTomb #RisenKing #ResurrectionPower #HopeLives #JesusIsAlive

🕯 Holy Saturday: The Silence Between 🕯⁠
⁠
The tomb is sealed.⁠
The world is quiet.⁠
Hope feels distant.⁠
Heaven is holding its breath.⁠
⁠
"They took the body of Jesus and wrapped it with spices in strips of linen... At the place where Jesus was crucified, there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb."⁠
— John 19:40–41⁠
⁠
Holy Saturday is the space in between —⁠
Between the cross and the resurrection,⁠
Between sorrow and joy,⁠
Between death and life.⁠
⁠
It’s the waiting.⁠
The wondering.⁠
The silence that still speaks.⁠
⁠
But even here, God is not absent.⁠
Even in the waiting, His promises remain.⁠
⁠
Lord, teach us to trust You in the in-between. When we can’t see the end, help us rest in Your faithfulness.⁠
⁠
#HolySaturday #Stillness #GodInTheWaiting #TheTombWasNotTheEnd #HolyWeek #HopeIsComing

✝️ Good Friday: It Is Finished ✝️⁠
⁠
Today, we remember the darkest day...⁠
When Love was nailed to a cross.⁠
When the Lamb was slain.⁠
When the sky grew dark and the curtain tore.⁠
⁠
"But he was pierced for our transgressions,⁠
he was crushed for our iniquities;⁠
the punishment that brought us peace was on him,⁠
and by his wounds we are healed."⁠
— Isaiah 53:5⁠
⁠
At the cross, Jesus bore our sin, our shame, our judgment.⁠
And with His final breath, He declared:⁠
“It is finished.”⁠
— John 19:30⁠
⁠
Not a cry of defeat, but a declaration of victory.⁠
Sin defeated. Death broken. Love proven.⁠
⁠
Jesus, thank You. For every nail, every drop of blood, every moment of suffering… thank You. We will never be the same.⁠
⁠

🍷 Maundy Thursday: Love Poured Out 🍷⁠
⁠
Before the cross, there was a table.⁠
Before the pain, there was a promise.⁠
Before the crown of thorns, there was a towel in His hands.⁠
⁠
"A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another."⁠
— John 13:34⁠
⁠
On this sacred night, Jesus humbled Himself to serve.⁠
He broke the bread.⁠
He lifted the cup.⁠
He washed the feet of the very ones who would deny, betray, and abandon Him.⁠
⁠
And still, He loved.⁠
⁠
Tonight, we remember His words.⁠
His example.⁠
His sacrifice.⁠
⁠
Let us love as He loved—fully, freely, and forever.⁠
⁠
Jesus, teach us to serve. Help us love like You. Break our pride and fill us with grace.⁠
⁠
#MaundyThursday #HolyWeek #LastSupper #ServantKing #LoveLikeJesus #FootWashingFaith

We are looking forward to our Holy Week Wednesday Service tonight at 6:45 PM at Colonial Woods Missionary Church and we would love for you to join us!⁠
⁠
This is a service designed to focus on some of the hard things of Jesus' last week that led to the cross. While we look forward to celebrating Easter Sunday, we don't want to rush past the darkness of Jesus' sacrifice and death on the cross. It was His suffering that made a way for us to be forgiven and made right with God. ⁠
⁠
Join us for this special service as we reflect and remember the cross that made way for our spiritual freedom.

🕯 Wednesday of Holy Week: Betrayed with a Kiss 🕯⁠
⁠
While Jesus continued to teach and love, behind closed doors, a plan was forming.⁠
⁠
"Then one of the Twelve—the one called Judas Iscariot—went to the chief priests and asked, 'What are you willing to give me if I deliver him over to you?' So they counted out for him thirty pieces of silver."⁠
— Matthew 26:14–15⁠
⁠
A friend turned traitor. A heart hardened. A Savior unwavering.⁠
⁠
Today reminds us that even in the shadows of betrayal, Jesus chose love, mercy, and the cross. He knew what was coming—and He went to the cross anyway.⁠
⁠
Let’s pause and ask:⁠
💔 Is there any area of my life where I’m trading intimacy with Jesus for something far less valuable?⁠
🙏 Am I walking closely with Him, or keeping Him at a distance?⁠
⁠
Lord, help us stay close, even when it’s hard. Keep our hearts loyal and our love pure.⁠
⁠

Join us at Colonial Woods Missionary Church on Wednesday, 04-16-25 at 6:45pm for a service that focuses on the weight of Jesus love for us.

📖 Tuesday of Holy Week: Truth in the Temple 📖⁠
⁠
On this day, Jesus taught with unmatched authority in the temple courts. He answered hard questions, exposed hypocrisy, and spoke powerful parables — calling hearts to repentance and truth.⁠
⁠
"Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away."⁠
— Matthew 24:35⁠
⁠
Even as the cross drew near, Jesus stood firm, teaching truth with love and conviction.⁠
⁠
As we reflect today, may we ask:⁠
👉 Am I living by His truth, or by the comfort of convenience?⁠
👉 What is Jesus teaching me today that I need to take to heart?⁠
⁠
Jesus, give us hearts to receive Your truth, courage to walk in it, and grace to share it.⁠
⁠
#HolyWeek #TuesdayTeaching #WordsOfJesus #FaithOverFear #TruthThatLasts

🕊 Monday of Holy Week: A Righteous Zeal 🕊⁠
⁠
“My house shall be called a house of prayer, but you make it a den of robbers.” — Matthew 21:13⁠
⁠
On this day, Jesus entered the temple and drove out those who had turned a sacred space into a marketplace. His actions were bold, passionate, and purposeful—showing us that true worship matters to God.⁠
⁠
Jesus wasn’t just flipping tables—He was restoring reverence.⁠
⁠
As we walk through Holy Week, may we also examine the temples of our hearts. What needs to be cleared out so that we can make space for His presence?⁠
⁠
Lord, cleanse us. Refine us. Make us holy.⁠

🌿 Hosanna in the Highest! 🌿⁠
⁠
Today we remember the triumphant entry of Jesus into Jerusalem — the beginning of His journey to the cross.⁠
⁠
"They took palm branches and went out to meet him, shouting, 'Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Blessed is the king of Israel!'"⁠
— John 12:13 (NIV)⁠
⁠
Riding humbly on a donkey, Jesus fulfilled the prophecy:⁠
"See, your king comes to you, righteous and victorious, lowly and riding on a donkey."⁠
— Zechariah 9:9⁠
⁠
The crowds welcomed Him as King, not yet knowing the crown He would wear would be made of thorns. 💔⁠
⁠
As we wave our palms today, may we open our hearts to the Savior who brings peace, not as the world gives, but as only He can. 🙏⁠
