    The Carpenter's Cloth Series

    Contributed by Pat Cook on May 22, 2006
    based on 11 ratings
     | 11,510 views

    This is taken from Sigmund Brouwer’s wonderful book of the same name. This speaks of the cross being only part of God’s plan of salvation for us, the empty tomb being the other. Jesus the carpenter wants to complete His work in us.

    John 20:1-9 – The Carpenter’s Cloth Tonight I’m going to share a thought with you that I read several years ago, and it has blessed me ever since. In fact, likely, you remember it since I read it to you on my 1st Easter Sunday message in Doaktown and Blissfield. I hope that it encourages you ...read more

    Fools Rush In Series

    Contributed by Pat Cook on May 22, 2006
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,009 views

    This is about John beating Peter in a footrace to the empty tomb, but Peter going in first. t’s about Peter’s courage, and how we need to live courageous lives, following God’s plans for us.

    John 20:1-9 – Fools Rush In Today, as we are continuing our series called He is Risen Indeed, where we have been studying Jesus’ resurrection and what it means to us, we turn our attention to the men of the story. We have studied Jesus’ female disciples, but now we look for inspiration from ...read more

    Who Do You Look Like?

    based on 1 rating
     | 3,626 views

    We should look like Jesus - or atleast his brother. When the world looks at you, who do they think of?

    Who do you look like? John 20:19-31 I have heard it said that every body has a twin in this world. I remember hearing that in high school. I had never though of it much until someone pointed out somebody that thought could be my twin. Our high school has 1200 students and I was not exactly a ...read more

    Sight Unseen Series

    Contributed by Pat Cook on May 30, 2006
    based on 68 ratings
     | 33,846 views

    When the Risen Jesus told Mary Magdalene not to cling to Him, it was because Jesus wanted Mary to have a faith that went beyond the 5 senses. Jesus asks us to walk by faith, not by sight.

    John 20:10-18 – Sight Unseen Today I am preaching 2 different sermons on the same passage of Scripture. That’s really the power of the Bible – there is so much good stuff in there. Two different people can preach on the same passage and get 2 completely different sermons out of it. The same ...read more

    Distractions Series

    Contributed by Pat Cook on May 30, 2006
    based on 38 ratings
     | 13,573 views

    Three times people did not recognize the Risen Jesus. This looks at why. There were spiritual reasons, of course, but also real physical reasons too. This looks at what distracts us from seeing Jesus.

    John 20:10-18 – Distractions Today we are continuing our series called He is Risen Indeed, messages about Jesus rising from the dead and what that means for us some 1976 years later. Today we are in John 20:10-18. We are looking at the 1st appearance Jesus makes after rising from the grave. He ...read more

    Why Christ Must Rise From The Dead.

    Contributed by Simon Fisher on Jun 1, 2006
    based on 6 ratings
     | 8,273 views

    How Christ rising from the dead makes us certain of the love of an almighty and eternal God.

    For as yet they knew not the Scripture, that he must rise again from the dead. (Jn 20:9) So the disciples went to the tomb, Peter, and John, and Mary Magdelene, of whom John and Mary had seen Jesus die two days before, and they found that Jesus was not in the tomb. And when Mary waited in ...read more

    Behind Closed Doors Series

    Contributed by Pat Cook on Jun 9, 2006
    based on 11 ratings
     | 12,359 views

    This is about the disciples locking the doors because of fear; Jesus showed up, and they were afraid anyway. This deals with fear in our lives and overcoming it.

    John 20:19-20 – Behind Closed Doors Today we are continuing in our series on Jesus’ resurrection called He is Risen indeed. What did the resurrection mean to the original band of followers, and what does the resurrection mean for us nearly 2000 years later? The truth is, the resurrection has ...read more

    Easter Evening With Doubting Thomas

     | 8,665 views

    Doubting Thomas says it all.

    Hello, my name is Thomas. I want to tell you about an amazing time in my life. It was nothing short of a wild emotional roller coaster ride. I was up and down, and back up again. It all started while I was with Jesus while he was on earth. I was one of his twelve disciples. At first his ...read more

    A look at the big picture in terms of the role of the bible in preparing us for mission in today’s world

    Introduction I came across this illustration of the role of the bible and our role as the followers of Jesus (by N T Wright): Suppose someone discovered a play by say, Shakespeare – there were 4 acts but the 5th had been lost. The first four acts provide such a wealth of characterization and ...read more

    Was Jesus Really Married? Series

    Contributed by Keith Miller on Jul 6, 2006

     | 3,092 views

    This sermon addresses the question regarding the role and position of women in the early church. This sermon also addresses Dan Brown’s claim that Jesus was married to Marry Magdalene.

    Was Jesus Really Married? John 20:14-17 Introduction Permit me to begin with another quote from Dan Brown’s book, The Da Vinci Code: “The social decorum during that time virtually forbid a Jewish man to be unmarried. According to Jewish custom, celibacy was condemned, and the obligation for a ...read more

    We are frozen and dead until Jesus touches us and brings us life.

    Wake Me Up Inside how can you see into my eyes like open doors, leading you down into my core, where i’ve become so numb. without a soul, my spirit sleeping somewhere cold, until you find it there and lead it back home. wake me up inside, wake me up inside, call my name and save me from the ...read more

    The Kiss Of Life

    Contributed by Bruce Howell on Jul 19, 2006
    based on 18 ratings
     | 6,032 views

    The Bible provides at least 5 examples of when God breathed out His best on humanity. His kiss of life imparts purity and power.

    The Kiss of Life John 20:19-22 Several years ago, an article appeared in the newspapers, describing a series of events that were astonishing. It seems that several people were rescued from the jaws of death because someone performed mouth-to-mouth resuscitation on them, e.g., a boy who was ...read more

    Our faith must be an active faith. It must come alive to bring others to Christ.

    I FIND IT INTERESTING THAT THOMAS MISSED THE FIRST EASTER APPEARANCE OF JESUS. WHAT I FIND TO BE EVEN MORE INTRIGUING IS THE FACT THAT THE DISCIPLES ARE STILL HIDING BEHIND A LOCKED DOOR ONE WEEK FOLLOWING THEIR ENCOUNTER WITH THE RISNEN CHRIST. I THINK THOMAS GETS A BUM RAP AS THE “LONE” DISCIPLE ...read more
