    Easter becomes an opportunity to imagine God would be present in our lives to roll away the stone from the graves in the darkest recesses of our souls.

    There is a sign in Theo & Stacy’s Greek Restaurant in Kalamazoo, Michigan, that says, “People who believe the dead never come back to life should be here at quitting time.” Let me tell you an Easter story: A long time ago a Frenchman incurred the displeasure of the emperor Napoleon. He was ...read more

    An interactive sermon on the theme of Christian giving

Another winner! And what a good passage to have on the day of a baptism! ...read more
