    Many think of the resurrection as an event from the past that just gives us a hope of the future. It is so much more than that, and it is relevant to us in our daily lives.

    It is amazing how the unpredictable can terrify us. When things seem to be unsure, or we can’t possibly explain something, fear seems to set in. Most parents know what it is like to be terrified. Our children can come out with some of the most alarming, humiliating, or shocking things, all done ...read more

    Ponder the evidences for the hope of immortality; pursue the Giver of immortality; personalize the hope of immortality.

    We’ve already spent four weeks looking at the passion or suffering of Jesus in preparation for Easter.

    The emotions felt by the disciples on the day before Easter mirror the way we react when we don’t understand what God is doing.

    What we celebrate today is the central, defining event of the Christian faith. On this day, for the last twenty centuries, Christians have gathered together all over the world, in remote villages and in crowded cities, in cathedrals and in rented schoolrooms, just as we are doing here this morning; ...read more

    There are two sides of the Easter story. The side of darkness and death and the side of resurrection and life.

    THE WRONG SIDE OF EASTER Mark 16:10 INTRO. Here are the followers of Jesus "weeping and mourning" but just fifty days later they would be in great joy, singing psalms and telling of their great experiences with Christ.
