Divine Comedy - Easter Day

Contributed by Christopher Howitz on Apr 17, 2018

Jesus has the last laugh! In Jesus' resurrection, the Creator of the Universe gives His answer to the rejection of His Son at Calvary. In Christ, our lives no longer end in our funeral but rather in the Wedding of the Lamb.

Jokes can be pretty mean, and maybe April 1st, being April Fools Day in some parts, can be a pretty worrying time – you might be always looking over your shoulder, not sure if you’re going to get pranked before mid-day strikes. However, this April 1st, this April Fools Day, also happens to be ...read more

Easter 2016: Empty Promises

Contributed by Scott Bayles on Dec 22, 2020

On the first Easter Sunday, instead of promises full of emptiness, God gave us emptiness that is full of promise. There are at least three of them—an empty cross, empty clothes, and an empty cave. It is the very fact that each of these is empty that assures us that God’s promises are not.

EASTER: EMPTY PROMISES Scott Bayles, pastor Blooming Grove Christian Church: 3/27/2016 I just want to take a moment to thank everyone for choosing to spend Easter morning with us here at the Grove.

Then... Came Jesus

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Jan 28, 2022

Notice, our Bible tells us in verse 19, that the disciples were “assembled” behind closed doors.

Many folks believe it is possible the doors were locked since the reason they were shut up was because they feared for their lives. The Greek word used for “closed” here certainly indicates “secured” or “locked.” Since the Bible points out that they were behind closed doors at that particular ...read more

Running To Jesus

Contributed by Thomas Andrufski on Mar 17, 2021
