    Mary Magdalene’s world had collapsed on the crucifixion of Jesus and she came to the tomb Searching, Learning, Seeing and then Believing.

    The resurrection of Jesus demands a personal response. Pollsters take pleasure in getting the opinion of the general public, asking, "Do you believe that Jesus rose from the dead?" They are keen to tell us: what percentage believe he actually physically came to life again; how many say he didn’t ...read more

    The scars tell a story.

    What is the only man made thing in heaven? I believe it is the scars on the body of Jesus. What do those scars teach us? When one goes on vacation, they so often bring back a souvenir. When Jesus visited earth as the God-man, he brought back a souvenir, but it was not something cheap and ...read more

    A sermon presented in dramatic form as if being presented by the Apostle Thomas.

    I want to thank the pastor for inviting me to speak this Easter Sunday. I’ve been told a lot of people identify with me. Maybe after you hear my story you’ll identify with me also. Now I know there’s a derogatory nickname for me going around - "Doubting Thomas". Actually that really doesn’t fit ...read more

    Could it be that Jesus’ resurrections was meant to not only give hope to humanity but also to the rest of his creations?

    I want to begin this morning in John 20. John 20 is text that we most commonly read on Easter Sunday. It is John’s account of Jesus’ resurrection. In John chapter 20, we have Mary Magdalene going to the tomb where Jesus was buried early in the morning to anoint the dead body of Jesus with burial ...read more

    We’re in John Chapter 20 today - revisiting the story of ’doubting Thomas’. This is a familiar story. We have it read to us in church every year, though I’m not entirely sure why that is.

    Do we really want to "see Jesus" and experience His fire or are we going to settle for religious acts and pious practices.

    WHERE’S JESUS? On Easter Sunday morning Mary Magdalene exclaimed: "The Lord has been taken away and I do not know where they have put Him" (John 20:13). I can relate to Mary Magdalene. I don’t know about you, but I don’t hear much talk about Jesus anymore. You can attend Church for weeks at a ...read more
