Sermons on Empty Tomb Mesiyas:

Form Vs. Fire PRO Sermon

Contributed by Sermon Research Assistant on Oct 28, 2025

This sermon urges believers to move beyond empty words to genuine, costly obedience, allowing God to rekindle authentic faith and wholehearted devotion in their lives.

Welcome, dear friends. I’m so glad you’re here. Some of us walked in this morning with hearts blazing hot; others with barely a flicker. If faith were a fireplace, some of us are warming our hands, and others are cupping the last little coal, begging it to glow again. Life can be like that. A long ...read more

The Thirst-Quencher Series

Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 27, 2025

Jesus meets us in our deepest thirst, heals our shame, fills our emptiness with living water, and transforms us into storytellers of grace.

WHEN THE WELL FINALLY DRIES Most of us carry a thirst we don’t mention out loud. We keep going through the motions, juggle responsibilities, stay productive, and hope nobody notices the cracks in our souls. Sometimes we hide those cracks even from ourselves. This woman did. She kept walking to ...read more

After Easter Series

Contributed by Rev. Samuel Arimoro on Apr 22, 2025

The Contemporary Christ Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 29, 2021

If Jesus was still in the tomb, and not a living contemporary, then however, great a man and teacher He was, He is of no more value to us than any other dead man. Any religion will do if the best only gets you to the grave.

Seven Sundays To Easter: Mary Magdalene’s Undying Love For A Risen Savior Series

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Apr 1, 2021

John 20 records Mary Magdalene's journeys to the tomb where the body of Jesus was placed. She was the first person to see and speak with the Risen Lord Jesus, and showed Him her undying love.

Introduction: Mary Magdalene was one of the women who followed Jesus during His earthly ministry. Jesus had cast seven demons out of her at an earlier time (Luke 7-8:2) so no doubt she would be grateful for that miracle. She was there when the Lord’s body was laid in the tomb (Mark 15:40-47) and ...read more

More Than Hatch, Match, And Dispatch Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Nov 13, 2000

The church is for far more than empty ceremony on occasions demanded by tradition; it is the steward of new life, with a rich and full experience that employs the diversity of gifts God has given it.

Last week you seemed to get a big charge out of my little story about going to a wedding rehearsal and wasting time waiting for a key person to arrive. When I said that I didn’t know what we’d do on Sunday afternoon if he didn’t show up, you let out a belly laugh. You assumed I was talking about ...read more

Gonna Need A Bigger Cup

Contributed by G W Bill Elliott Jr on Nov 30, 2019

Typically, we stop pouring fluid as the container is filling to the rim. Too often, we tend to ease-up on God's calling on our lives because we sense we are filling up. He wants us to go get a bigger cup, through!

No, this is not a story about the whole ‘glass half full’, or ‘glass half empty’ debate. In fact, the late George Carlin once observed, “Maybe the glass is just twice as big as it needs to be!“… he then proceeded on a tirade of how we overthink, over-analyze, and certainly over-debate about such ...read more

Some Thoughts On The Lords Prayer

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 9, 2020

A Corporate, Intimate, Reverent Prayer.

SOME THOUGHTS ON THE LORD’S PRAYER. Matthew 6:7-15. In the expression, “When you (all) pray” (Matthew 6:7), Jesus assumes that His disciples (in all ages) WILL pray. A prayer-less Christian is like a man or a woman who does not speak to their nearest and dearest! Can you imagine it? ...read more

The Burial Of Jesus

Contributed by K. Edward Skidmore on Feb 10, 2020

John 19:31-42 deals with the transition from the cross to the tomb. Two groups are involved here: the Roman soldiers, and two friendly Jewish leaders who have come to believe in Jesus as the promised Messiah.

The Burial of Jesus: John 19:31-42 Intro: Everything about the arrest, trials, beatings, death, and burial of Jesus was a continuous departure from proper protocols and basic fairness. The only reason this worked is that Jesus permitted all of it to happen to him because he willingly laid down his ...read more
