The Three Sure Witnesses

Contributed by Roger Hasselquist on Sep 30, 2024

And what is it that we can know for sure? I John 5:5 proclaims that “Jesus is the Son of God.” And the reason we can know this for sure is that there are multiple witnesses that point to the same fact. And they are in agreement with each other.

What Jesus’ Resurrection Means For Us

Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Mar 28, 2026

Although the title is, 'What Jesus’ resurrection means for us', the talk realizes that this is the wrong question. Jesus' resurrection is about Jesus, about him receiving a kingdom, and about God vindicating him and showing him to be Lord, Christ, and Son of God. And THAT affects us.

Today, it’s Palm Sunday. So, it would be normal for me to talk about Palm Sunday! Next Sunday, it will be Easter Sunday. We’ll come together and praise God for Jesus’ resurrection. We’ll celebrate!
