A sermon about the Road to Emmaus and beyond.

The Road To Emmaus

Contributed by Michael Koplitz on May 5, 2021

What did the two men on the road to Emmaus think about the resurrection? They had the opportunity to meet the risen Christ. Is it not interesting that Luke has two unknown men meet the risen Christ first?

Easter Of Unending Joy

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Mar 15, 2022

Christ’s transfigured body is the template for our own, just as His resurrected body is.

Easter of Unending Joy In one of my favorite Lenten hymns, the congregation sings “O Lord, with us abide.” The final verse, then, prays “Abide with us so when this life of suffering is past, an Easter of unending joy we may attain at last.” That unending, joyful Easter is what we all aim for at ...read more

Take A Walk With Jesus

Contributed by Jonathan Kruschel on Oct 12, 2020

When we find ourselves confused, and struggling, doubting God’s power, questioning his goodness, wondering about his faithfulness or whatever else it might be, don’t walk away from Jesus. Walk with Jesus, just like Jesus did with those followers on the road to Emmaus on Easter afternoon.

“What do you want?” “I don’t know. What do you want?” “I’m not sure, what do you think?” “I don’t know. What do you think?” Sound familiar? Ever had a conversation like that when it comes to choosing a movie or a TV show or what to order for takeout – pizza, fish, Chinese, Mexican, Thai? “I ...read more

His Hidden Face Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 16, 2021

Jesus had the ability to hide Himself so His identity was not known. Mary Magdalene had the same problem. She was at the tomb of Jesus, and He spoke to her, but she did not know Him, for she thought He was the gardener.

He Is Risen!

Contributed by John Gaston on Mar 30, 2021

The resurrection of Jesus is much more than a resuscitation, it's the new creation beginning! Easter isn't just an event, it's a revelation: we need intimacy with Jesus to heal our emptiness. It will conquer our fears, remove our doubts, & forgive our failures.
