    There’s a time, for all of us, I think when we believe…but we don’t have the foggiest idea what that means. That must be a little like what the first disciples of Jesus Christ felt.

    Luke 24:13-35 “The Eyes Have It!!!” By: Ken Sauer, Pastor of East Ridge United Methodist Church, Chattanooga, TN I remember a time, long ago and far away… …on a distant planet… …no… …that’s not right… I remember a time when I was asked by the associate pastor of my church to read the ...read more

    Peter And Easter

    Contributed by James Hickman on Mar 19, 2016
     | 7,295 views

    How did Peter greet the first Easter? His failure before the crucifixion may have kept him from fully appreciating what Easter meant. Using the clues given in the gospels and elsewhere, the sermon discusses how Jesus dealt with Peter's failure and fear.

    Peter and Easter Luke 24:12 Though the women told and retold the story of their experience at the empty tomb, the Eleven and the other disciples didn't believe them. It was just too incredible. Yet, Peter seems to have decided something must have happened at the tomb and determined to find out ...read more

    The New Passover Series

    Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Apr 15, 2025
     | 925 views

    The Twelve along with Jesus joined them in an upper room to celebrate the final Passover and inaugurate the first Communion. Depicted in Mark 14:17-26, in two ways we see that the New Passover began with 1) The Final Passover (Mark 14:17–21) and concludes with 2) The First Communion (Mark 14:22–26)

    Mark 14:17–26. 17And when it was evening, he came with the twelve. 18And as they were reclining at table and eating, Jesus said, “Truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me, one who is eating with me.” 19They began to be sorrowful and to say to him one after another, “Is it I?” 20He said to ...read more
