Four Things The Empty Tomb Tells Us

Contributed by John Gaston on Apr 21, 2019

The empty tomb is a living witness. It tells us that Death is no longer to be feared, that Sin has been conquered, that a New Life is available, and that Immortality is possible.

FOUR THINGS THE EMPTY TOMB TELLS US Luke 24:1-6; 36-47 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. It was Easter. A Sunday School teacher had just finished telling her third graders about how Jesus was crucified and placed in a tomb with a great stone sealing the opening. 2. Then, wanting to share the ...read more

"Two Forgetful Followers”

Contributed by Dave Mcfadden on Apr 24, 2019

An annotated outline of a sermon about the two disciples on the road to Emmaus.

Jesus had been raised from the dead. Here we read about one of His post resurrection appearances. Unaware Jesus had risen, all these two disciples knew was He had been crucified, His tomb was found empty and they were despondent. Though Jesus promised His disciples He would be raised from the dead ...read more

What Will I Do With Jesus? Series

Contributed by Charles Mallory on Apr 25, 2019

In Matthew 27:22, Pilate asked, "What then shall I do with Jesus who is called the Christ?" We are asked that same question and must make a decision about what we will do with Jesus Christ.

YOU MAY HAVE HEARD THE SAYING THAT AN OPTIMIST DELIGHTFULLY SEES THE GLASS AS HALF-FULL WHILE THE PESSIMIST CAN ONLY BEAR TO SEE THE GLASS AS HALF-EMPTY. IT IS ALL DETERMINED BY HOW YOU CHOOSE TO LOOK AT THE GLASS. THE SAME IS TRUE IN REGARDS TO THE LORDSHIP OF JESUS CHRIST. HOW YOU LOOK AT AND ...read more

Walking With The Resurrected Jesus

Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Apr 29, 2019

When Jesus resurrected the first person he appeared to was Mary Magdalene. We might be familiar with that and the appearance to his disciples, but there was another one between Mary and the Apostles. Let's look at Jesus' encounter with the two on the road to Emmaus.

WALKING WITH THE RESURRECTED JESUS Luke 24:13-35 When Jesus resurrected the first person he appeared to was Mary Magdalene, who thought he was the gardener at first.

A Living Hope For The Hopeless Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on May 12, 2019

When Jesus rose from the dead, Thomas got a 5 minute show and tell. By contrast, the 2 men on the road to Emmaus received a 3 hour dissertation. Why the difference? Perhaps Jesus spent more time with these hopeless men, to show us how to have a living Hope in a hopeless world.

OPEN: A preacher told of going through his father’s effects after his dad died, and among the things he found was father’s 7th grade report card. Back in the Fall of 1941 this 7th grade report card showed the grading scale on the back of it. There was A, B, C, D, F, and something he’d never seen ...read more

Hearts On Fire

Contributed by Paul Robinson on Jan 7, 2023

What does it mean to be on fire for God, and how can we get on fire? The two men on the road to Emmaus give us the answer.

Several weeks ago I was convicted about the fact that my spiritual life had become stale and cold. I was reading my Bible, but I wasn’t getting anything out of it. God wasn’t answering my prayers. My interests were more on myself than anything else. It seemed that my desire for God had been stolen ...read more

The Resurrection Of Jesus Christ And Why It Matters

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jan 9, 2023

In his first letter to the church at Corinth, the apostle Paul had to address their chaotic and ungodly practices. He confronted and corrected them as to how a true church should model itself on the foundation of the Lord Jesus Christ, including a reminder about the resurrection and its importance.

As the days draw closer to the return of our Great God and Savior Jesus Christ (Luke 21:28; Titus 2:13), the enemies of the LORD, both human and demonic, are doing their best to turn people away from the truth of the Scriptures and that there is no salvation for anyone except through Him ...read more

The Resurrection Of Jesus Christ: A Refresher Course In Evidence

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jan 10, 2023

The Scriptures tell of the event of the resurrection of Jesus Christ as being an undeniable historical fact with eyewitness and secondary evidence to back it that would be admissible in any objective court of law. This is no case of wishful thinking, but the conclusion of a promise kept.

If we were to present the case for the resurrection of Jesus Christ in a court of law, we would have to first refute the notion or belief that this was nothing more than "faith" on the part of the apostles and all who have followed Him throughout history. I have pointed out in a recent ...read more

Do We Have A Case Of Heartburn?

Contributed by Chris Swanson on Jan 12, 2023

This is the story of the two men that were going back to Emmaus and what happened to them on their journey. They almost missed something because they were centered around their own personal issues.

In verses 13-16: The two men walking toward Emmaus were so caught up in themselves and their own problems that they did not see Jesus or even recognize Him. Undoubtedly, they had heard His preaching, the various parables, and what He was teaching about Himself. It was as if they were not looking ...read more

Heading Home From Jerusalem Series

Contributed by Roberta Karchner on Apr 19, 2024

The concept (Bright Sunday) is that Jesus was having fun showing up for the disciples, here as they headed home, he walked with them, and they recognized him in the breaking of the bread.

Today is Bright Sunday. Easter is a Holy Day, a day when everyone comes to church. Today is the day when the Christian believers come back to celebrate, because we are now in Easter Tide – the time between the Resurrection and when Jesus Ascended into heaven. After the Ascension, we have ...read more

The Journey To Emmaus

Contributed by Revd Dr Ruwan Palapathwala on Dec 16, 2024

The risen Christ is with us always. He walks with us on every road. He is with us at the heights of joy and celebration and in the pits of terror and despair. He is always with us, but we do not recognise him. Nevertheless, he journeys with us to the end of our lives.

The gospel reading we just read about Jesus' journey to Emmaus with two persons is one of my favourite resurrection stories and possibly my favourite from the Gospel of Luke. Over the twenty-six years of my ministry, among many other texts in the Gospels, this is one of the most-loved stories I ...read more

Giving To Others Series

Contributed by Derek Geldart on Jan 21, 2024

What would it take to convince you to make time to serve the Lord? What would it take to get you to reprioritize your goals and dreams to no longer be inwardly focused but other focused? In other words what would it take to get you to share the same comfort you have received from Christ with others?
