    Like the two disciples on the road to Emmaus we to can encounter Jesus when we least expect to and where we least expect to find Him.

    How should we pray? As Jesus taught His disciples, He also teaches us: 1. Pray with great determination (vs. 5-8) 2. Pray with great expectation (vs. 9-10) 3. Picture our Heavenly Father’s dedication (vs. 11-13) 4. Ponder God’s escalation (vs. 13)

     | 7,669 views

    This was done as a dramatic monologue, as if I were Mark; and costumed according to Mark 14:51-52! It makes use of one of Mark’s favorite words, "immediately", and argues that Jesus expects immediate response to His call.

    What’s happening? What’s going on here? I came as quickly as I could. If you linger, you will miss Him. He waits for no one. He acts immediately. He is the most urgent person I’ve ever known. He just does not wait for anything. He acts immediately. So, again, what’s happening here? What ...read more

    God’s mercy through Christ’s resurrection gives us living hope, transforming our weariness and shame into courage, renewal, and confident expectation for the future.

    There are mornings when hope feels like a whisper in the wind—soft, steady, surprising. You wake up with a to-do list longer than your energy and a heart that wonders, Will anything change? Then you catch a memory of God’s kindness—a prayer answered when you had no words left, a friend’s hand in ...read more

    Resurrection Unexpected

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Apr 1, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 6,922 views

    No one really expected the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Today we focus on the expectations of two of those who first saw Jesus: John and Mary. What they expected, and how Jesus actually met them, can help your relationship with Jesus too.

    No one saw it coming. No one. On the Sunday following the crucifixion of Jesus Christ no one really expected what happened (or at least it they didn’t fully comprehend it). They should have. Shortly after confirming to His men that He was the Messiah, Jesus said: Mark 8:31 “The Son of ...read more
