A Cunningly Devised Fable? Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 5, 2022

Easter: This message examines a common argument against the resurrection and looks at some simple proofs. We will come to realize that the resurrection did indeed happen, and that it is far from being a cunningly devised fable.

I wish to begin our message with a quote. Virginia, minister once stated, “We have closed our minds to such trivial considerations as the question of the resurrection of Christ. If you fundamentalists wish to believe that nonsense, we have no objections, but we have more important things to ...read more

It’s Friday, But Sunday’s Coming!

Contributed by John Gaston on Apr 21, 2019

I took S.M. Lockridge’s message, probably preached 70 years ago, and adapted it by making it into rhyming verse which increases it's power. You can add this at the end of your next Easter message for a powerful ending.

A. IT’S FRIDAY, BUT SUNDAY’S COMING 1. It’s Friday! Jesus is praying, Peter’s straying, Judas is betraying -- But Sunday’s comin.’ 2. It’s Friday. Pilate is judging, the council is fudging, the crowd’s are shouting, the disciples are pouting. Mary is crying & Peter’s denying. But they don’t ...read more

He's Alive Series

Contributed by Randall James on Apr 22, 2019

People have responded differently to the Resurrection. This message is about the doubters, memorialists, show-offs, superstitious, and the transformed.

I don’t have any Easter jokes for you today, but I did come across some Easter quotes that I think you’ll regret hearing. Al Jamal said: “My father was so cheap. Every Easter we’d wear the same clothes, but he’d take us to a different church.” Melanie White said these two things about Easter: ...read more

There Is Hope

Contributed by Christian Cheong on Apr 22, 2019

Ponder the various responses of the people who came to know of the empty tomb and the resurrection of Jesus.

Can this be real? That Jesus died and then came back to life? • What does it mean to us if He is dead? Does it really matter? The truth is, it matters. If Jesus claims to be God and comes from heaven, and He remains dead, then there is no hope for anyone. • Death ends everything. Death will be ...read more

Some People Can Be Bought

Contributed by Doug Fannon on Apr 30, 2019

Sunday after Easter. After the Resurrection, now what? Is possible for someone to witness it all yet be bought off to deny it all?

There is an unfortunate truth which abounds in our current culture, people would rather believe a lie, a boldface lie, than the truth, especially if the truth is inconvenient or the truth would cost us in any way, whether it would be money, or in our personal perception of freedoms. Jesus once ...read more

The Resurrection of Jesus Christ not only proves the truth of His words and promises, but also has the power to transform our lives, making us new creations and giving us hope for eternal life.

Today, we're going to talk about something super important, and I've got a cool object lesson to help us understand it better.
