Why Does Easter Matter

Contributed by Jay Robison on Feb 24, 2009

What difference does Easter make? The sermon looks at "explanations" for Jesus’ death on the cross. But Easter matters because we all have baggage in life, we will die one day, and we need help.

And They Said Nothing To Anyone

Contributed by Alvin Hathaway, Sr. on Mar 22, 2009

Your past, your problem or perception should never hinder you from telling the story of God loves and Jesus’ saving power.

“You Tell the Story” Mark 16:1-8 “…And they said nothing to anyone…” I call the Markian version of the gospel the realist version. Mark appears to recognize the frailty of the human spirit. You may remember when we preached when you need a second touch from Mark 8; Jesus needed to touch the man ...read more

Easter Day

Contributed by Joseph Neil Adams on Feb 22, 2008

Mark’s original ending has been seen as controversial yet it is so powerful & real & full of challenge.

The Easter resurrection story in Mark offers us a different slant in a way on old story. It offers us an ending where the feeling is not spontaneous joy & praise, but fear & confusion & doubt. It is a ending that has troubled the Church for generations, indeed it made the people who put together ...read more

Contributed by Donna Muise on Apr 18, 2007

God will roll away the stones in our lives just as he did for the women; we just have to ask.
