    The Power Of Easter Hope

    Contributed by Scott Spencer on Apr 5, 2015
     | 16,432 views

    Faith, hope and love are all tied to the resurrection of Christ, which we celebrate at Easter.

    The Power of Easter Hope Last week we covered how Easter impacts your faith and we looked at the inspired writings of Paul to the church at Corinth. Incidentally, Paul is known as "The Apostle of Faith." So it was fitting that we read a Bible passage written by him when talking about Easter ...read more

    Easter 2: Easter makes a difference. It changes cold, hard, self-centered people into a community that cares for one another. It gives boldness to weak hearts. It gives hope to suffering spirits. It provides a perspective.

    Christ is Risen! He is risen, indeed – Alleluia! Life in the time of Jesus was hard – maybe even mean. There are plenty of examples of this. Justice was often quick and oftentimes harsh. Look at what happened to Jesus! He was celebrating Passover with his disciples on Thursday night, and by ...read more

    I believe the life of Enoch is a type of the Second Coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. Please note the characteristics of the man named Enoch. We will see there are several similarities with his day, time and life as compared with our day, time and lives.

    He is not here. He is risen! Awesome!

    Easter, Easter, We’re All Raised Up Today, as we all know, is Easter. For a lot of people, Easter is just another holiday, a 3-day weekend of fun and no work.

    Two disciples left Jerusalem, sad, but met a Special Person as they walked towards Emmaus, about seven miles away. This Special Person was the Risen Lord, Jesus Himself!

    (Full disclosure, Sermon Central has accepted and posted a message of mine on this text called “After Easter: On the Road to Emmaus” but this is a different message, not merely a copy and paste of the original message.)

    Some men have read into the second coming texts, distinctions that show the difference between the rapture and what they call the "revelation." The Bible knows no such distinctions.

    6. SUPPOSED DISTINCTIONS It is disappointing to read the works of men that are normally trustworthy in their treatment of Scripture, when it comes to their promotion of a pre-tribulation rapture. Consider our brother Dave Hunt, no lightweight in the Word. Over and over his publications define ...read more

    There have been numerous teaching surges of the "Rapture" and what happens at the return of Jesus over the last 50+ years that have brought confusion and fear.

    Most often, the teaching of a Pre/Mid tribulation ‘Rapture’ re-appears during times of world crisis, social upheaval, pandemics, war, rumors of war, etc., to help bring focus on the soon-coming return of Jesus, who will stop it all and set up His Kingdom on Earth for 1,000 years.

    How do you think it must have taken Saul by surprise to think that he was doing the Lord a favor persecuting Christians when he got chastised by the Lord Jesus Christ?

    Vetting S(P)aul Text: Acts 9: 1 -15 Act 9:1-15  Meanwhile Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest  (2)  and asked him for letters to the synagogues at Damascus, so that if he found any who belonged to the Way, men or women, ...read more

    "Many people have doubts about the Rapture of the Church. They wonder if it will happen or if it's just a hoax. Some may even be hesitant to believe in it altogether. Many resources are available that provide evidence and support for my belief in the pre-tribulation Rapture."
