    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Mar 20, 2024
     | 1,497 views

    The world sometimes calls Christians “losers” and “suckers” for believing what we do; and for what we are. BUT THERE IS A RESURRECTION, so that the real losers are those who mock Christians and will lose everything. We look at the time after Calvary up to the Resurrection and what it all means.

    ALL IS OVERTURNED – THE POWER OF THE RESURRECTION – EASTER SUNDAY MESSAGE [A]. SHATTERED MINDS AND SOULS IN TURMOIL All is overturned. Let us consider the closing hours of what is called Good Friday. Those who had been at the cross had their lives shattered. They followed Jesus throughout ...read more

    You had just witnessed the brutal death of your personal companion and friend, then saw Him being carried off to be placed in His rocky tomb, and then comes the incredulous news from Mary Magdalene that Jesus’ body was no longer in the grave, would you have believed her?

    The Question I have for you today is, do we really Believe in the Resurrection of Jesus? • Put yourselves in the shoes of the disciples for a moment. • You had just witnessed the brutal death of your personal companion and friend, you literally saw him draw His last agonising breath, then saw Him ...read more

    We cannot imagine what Mary Magdalene must have felt that long ago Easter morning. But maybe we should try.

    They have taken him away. They have taken my Lord away. Why did they have to do it? Wasn't it enough to kill him? Why did they have to steal his body? He isn't any threat to them any more, if he ever was, and neither are we. Why couldn't they just leave us alone to tend his grave? ...read more

    He Calls You By Name

    Contributed by David Dunn on Dec 30, 2025

    John’s resurrection account reveals a quiet but profound truth: belonging comes before understanding. This message invites weary believers to release the pressure to prove their faith and rediscover a resurrection life rooted in being known, named, and kept—while still on the road.

    Introduction John tells us that Mary Magdalene came to the tomb early, while it was still dark. That detail matters. Not because it is poetic, but because it is honest. This is not the hour of confidence or clarity. This is the hour when grief wakes before reason does. The hour when the body ...read more

    If you feel like you are out of place, don't worry. That first Easter morning no one "got it." So if you don't get it, if you doubt, if you feel like this whole thing is crazy, you are in the right place. We don't have all the answers, we are just looking for them.

    Back when I was growing up, there was a pattern almost everyone followed, or at least we appeared to. We woke on Sunday, got into dress clothes, went to Sunday school and worship, and topped it off with a hearty lunch. Then, to further date myself, we would tune our black and white tv on to one ...read more

    A lot of grumpy bunkem occurs in outraged articles in the press about how our country isn't like what is was in the "good ol' Christian days" - but these grumpy ol' codgers have forgotten the truth and joy of the Easter message!

    What stories have you seen about Easter in the news? {take any suggestions} Two jumped out at me - and both of them were about Easter Eggs. In the first story a Doctor Andrew Kelso had written an article advising people not to scoff all their Easter Eggs in one go. There was an uproar. He can’t ...read more

    To know the real joy of the resurrection of Christ, move beyond just a peek at it. Ponder it. Perceive it. Then proclaim it to as many people as God gives opportunity.

    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. This is a good thing, and I am glad that all of you are here this morning, but there cannot be an Easter without a Good ...read more
