The Road To Easter Runs Through A Cemetery

Contributed by Mari Larson on Apr 23, 2014

Good Friday was a necessary part of the Easter journey. The sermon shares a Leonard Sweet story about bell-ringing. (Each person who came to worship received a bell as they entered.)

They thought it was over. Jesus was dead and buried. The religious folks sighed with satisfaction. His followers wept in grief. But they were wrong! They were all wrong! From this side of Easter, we can call Friday “Good” because we know that it was not over, all had not been ...read more

Contributed by David Henderson on May 25, 2011

In this message we look at the fear of death and how to overcome it. We must come to grips with what the resurrection has actually done for our faith. It is amazing!

Allow God To Deal With The Boulders In Your Life....he Loves You

Contributed by Richard Schwedes on Jul 11, 2009

We all face obstacles (boulders) in our life. Sometimes these boulders become bigger than they actually are. This Easter Sermon encourages us to allow Jesus to be the one who deals with the boulders in our life.

Or perhaps a new boyfriend or girl friend? New things bring changes to our lives. And Christ’s resurrection changes things, ...read more
