HE IS... (Easter 2010)

We had the most amazing Easter Service at Cross Point yesterday.  Our preacher's sermon was centered around Luke 24:13-35.  It was one of the best Easter sermons I had ever heard.  One thing that really caught my ear was a piece that Preacher Morton ended his sermon with that went so well with the following scripture...
