    Lillie Mae Scales Fontaine went through an open door on Easter Sunday morning. I cannot imagine a better time to die than that day, can you?

    The resurrection shows us the overwhelming grace of God and the overwhelming humaneness of man. The disciples were afraid and confused after the death of Jesus. Look deep in the tomb and see the reality of the resurrection and the response it requires

    Intro: I heard about a church organist who overslept one Easter morning. She said, "The service was scheduled for 6:30. At 6:31, the minister called to see if I was coming. Since I live near the church, I was at the organ by 6:45. Then, a year later on Easter morning my phone rang at 5:45. When I ...read more

    Christ Is Still Risen!

    Contributed by Jonathan Kruschel on Oct 12, 2020
     | 2,535 views

    How does Jesus take the sting out of death? Life is still hard and losing a loved one is sad. How does Easter help? No matter what you're going through Easter doesn't change. Christ is still and always will be risen from the dead!

    This Easter is unlike any that I’ve ever experienced and I’m guessing that I’m not alone in feeling that way. This is a rather strange Easter morning. The church is empty. Your normal family gatherings have likely been cancelled or postponed. You likely watching this worship service by ...read more

    Not even for an hour could the disciples stay awake and keep watch with Christ. What about us? How difficult is it for us to stay awake and alert to Christ’s commands?

    Not Even for an Hour? Matthew 26:36-56 Maundy Thursday 2008 It was the night before Easter 1994. I was a senior in college and at 8:00 p.m. I decided to make the 5 hour drive home to spend Easter with my family. Of course, I hadn’t packed or done any of that, so it was probably almost 9:00 ...read more

    Walking away from Jerusalem. The encouraging ministry of Christ to 2 disappointed believers on the first Easter Day. Has something caused you to walk away from God’s best in your life? How would you know if it had? Where is Christ in it all?

    Easter! What a message! Jesus died for our sins and rose again! Because of this we can now have forgiveness, victory and new life. Who needs forgiveness but the guilty? Who needs victory except the defeated? Who needs new life but those with broken lives? This is good news! But does it sound good ...read more

    It is great to celebrate easter but to fully appreciate the joy of the season it is important to understand why Jesus gave his life for us. The greatest miracle of all is the resurrection but how could be celebrate the resurrection without walking the way of the cross?

    All over the world Church attendance is high on Easter; people who are not normally seen in Church come to celebrate the Christian joy and the hope of resurrection.

    The resurrection of Jesus did not wait for the noise of the world—it happened quietly, powerfully, and full of promise... very early in the morning. (A Sunrise Sermon)

    ### **Introduction:** Good morning! Look around. We are standing in a place of graves. A place of sorrow. A place of mourning… And yet, here we are this morning, greeting the dawn. We are in a place of endings, but watching a beginning. Scripture tells us that very early in the morning, much ...read more

    Taking our teaching from Romans 6:4, we’ll be looking at the basis of our greeting one another during this time and what the resurrection proves and guarantees, and some of the evidence to prove the resurrection beyond a shadow of a doubt. Christ is Risen! He is Risen Indeed!

    A Resurrected Greeting Romans 6:4 America is one of the few countries where the customary greeting for Easter has absolutely no connection to the resurrection of Jesus Christ. What we hear is “Happy Easter.” But this is not how the church has greeted one another in times past. The early church ...read more
