If you see or hear anything that is Biblically incorrect, we want to know about it so we can make the proper correction. We are only interested in the truth, being what the Bible makes us, and doing what it teaches us. Please be our guest at our next service. We would like to get with you and talk about some things the Bible teaches. If you are available to study, please contact John Isaac Edwards at (812) 320-4450 to arrange a home Bible study.

Breden Memorial United Methodist

 We have the privilege on Easter Sunday to celebrate the great day of the Christian year. You may ask why? God’s Word shares with us that it is the day that underscores for us the Resurrection of Jesus. If you don’t believe in that, what do you believe? What is there about you that gives you hope about life?

 I get excited with a few goose bumps about this day. This is a world filled with trouble and sorrow. Jesus made a profound statement about life that can help overcome your troubles and sorrows. He said: “Because I live you can live also.” That is tied in with some of the greatest hope we have for the living of these days.

 Our pastor will be speaking on Easter Sunday about: “Good News!” “Where?” The scripture selection is taken from Mark 16:1-20.

 Our Easter Worship will begin at 9:30 a.m. We will have special music by Sharon Clark and John Williams will provide instrumental music. Our childrens’ department will provide a presentation about Easter. There will not be any Sunday School today. Come! Let’s celebrate! It’s EASTER!

The mystery of the Christian faith is the outrageous free gift of salvation, offered by God’s own initiative and power. While we rationalize it, confuse it, obfuscate it, legalize it, and even obstruct it because of sin, in the incarnation, death, and resurrection of Christ, we are offered the deepest love of all, and our true humanity. The only rational response: receive this gift and share it with others. Come to go with us in this life of sharing receptivity. Let God love you back to life as it was meant to be.
