    Easter People

    Contributed by Jeffrey Dillinger on Apr 13, 2020
     | 4,332 views

    We are more than just Easter proclaimers, we are Easter people. Yes, it's important to share Jesus on social media, but it is more important to be people who live out the Easter story every day of our lives.

    Easter People (Rom. 6:1-4) Intro: A. There was a truth that was known, yet not believed. Jesus had been very clear to many that he would rise up from the dead on the third day. This truth was known to the religious leaders who hated Jesus so they went to Pilate with a request. Listen to ...read more

    Jesus doesn't just plant the seeds of the kingdom and then disappear. He sticks with us for the long haul. He nurtures the seeds of faith and helps us to grow.

    Don't you just love a baptism? You have the beautiful little baby, the parents and God parents making promises to both child and God. And you have the water and the word. God promising to adopt this child into his family and make him or her his own. There's a lot of stuff going on ...read more

    God gave the nation of Israel a sign of their commitment to him with circumcision. The people thought that the sign was their salvation. Not their relationship with God. Many who profess Christian faith do the same with baptism.

    Sign, Sign, Everywhere a Sign Genesis 17: 9-13 (NLT) Intro: Back in the seventies, there was a one hit wonder band called the five man electrical band. There one mega hit was called “Signs”. . The chorus went like this: . Signs, Signs, Everywhere there's signs. Blocking out the ...read more

    You have no need! Can you believe it?

    We can all get stuck on the side of the road in different ways at different times in our lives.

    The name, fame and shame of Bartimaeus. His name means Bar, meaning “the son of” Timaeus. Others point to the Aramaic or Hebrew word for "unclean" (‘bar-tem’), suggesting that BartimaeSus is "son of the unclean." In reality both names fit because Bartimaeus was a poor ...read more
