    Easter 2025

    Once again here we are gathered on this glorious Easter morning to celebrate. But this is not just a meal of remembrance and celebration of a one-time event as is the Passover of old.

    This morning. We come together to celebrate Easter. We believe in and celebrate the empty tomb – the resurrection of Jesus from the dead. However, His resurrection, this most wonderous of all miracles, and all these worship services would mean nothing for us without the reason of the resurrection. ...read more

    Easter Is Everything

    Because Easter is everything, Jesus must be everything to you.

    The word “everything” refers to “something that is extremely or most important.” If you believe someone or something is everything, you’re saying that person or that thing is most important in your life. Barry White made these words popular in a song from 1974: “My first, my last, my everything ...read more

    I don’t pretend to understand everything that happened to Jesus before His resurrection, I do know this: several hours after their respective deaths, Jesus escorted a pardoned criminal inside the very gates of paradise.

    Good morning to you and Happy Resurrection Day to you all! Easter is special day and we are so glad to have you join us. Most Sundays I am looking at nothing but a camera these days. But not this Sunday (show pics of people’s printed pics on the pews)! What a welcome sight. Many of you are new to ...read more

    Easter Is Dangerous!

    Contributed by Bramwell Hayes on Apr 13, 2006
    based on 8 ratings
     | 5,639 views

    Easter from the viewpoint of Caiaphas, demonstrating that it would be better for obstinant rebels if Christ had not been raised from the dead. The fact of Easter requires us to repent and turn to Christ

    Matthew 28:11-15 This is all most inconvenient, not to mention dangerous! I don’t know what the Romans will make of all this. They only put me in power as High Priest to keep the country in order and to stop things like this happening. If that Jesus had kept to carpentry none of this would have ...read more

    Easter - Ghosts

     | 4,402 views

    A message thinking about life, death, resurrection & ghosts because that lie the devil has used about Jesus not being really alive but just a ghost must be dispatched back to hell.

    Ghosts Luke 24:36b-48 Perhaps because we hear this Easter story so often we loose some of the power. We loose something of the sense of how fantastic & ridiculous an idea this truly is - Jesus dead now alive. How can that be because dead people stay dead, we all know that to be true don’t ...read more

    To follow the Good Shepherd is to experience the awe felt by the early church in Acts 2

    4 Easter A John 10:1-10 / Acts 2:42-47 21 April 2002 Sheep are an interesting lot. They are built close to the ground, think mostly about eating and often get themselves into trouble because they cannot see very far ahead and do not look much beyond the next mouthful.

    Many people are at home with no means of participating in Easter celebrations. Here is one way to have Easter at home, even alone, if needed.

    You in me and I in you. Jesus offers us the intimate connection with God -- the connection the whole world craves. It is our joy and opportunity to introduce the hungry world to Jesus who satisfies.

    6 Easter A John 14:15-21 5 May 2002 Rev. Roger Haugen “You in me – I in you”, repeat with me. (several times) This is Jesus message of good news for us today. “You in me – I in you.” No matter what the future holds, we will not be alone. “You in me – I in you”. We are the body of Christ, ...read more

    The Resurrection gives us hope for life after death, and for new life right now.

    Easter 2007 [Glen Presley poem] Matthew 28:1-10 On Friday Benjamin drew this picture of the cross with the devil saying “I can’t believe I won!” God says, “no you didn’t.” and the devil says “aw man!” What looks like a defeat for Jesus is not a defeat. By going to the cross, paying ...read more

     | 41,302 views

    To prepare for Easter we must not go straight to the cross and the resurrection but remember that the battle for Easter was fought and won in the Garden of Gethsemane

    Preparing for Easter (Matthew 26:36-46) If Easter were to have a logo – it would be most associated with bunny rabbits, and chocolate eggs, chocolate coins, in fact chocolate anything. And for many chocoholics after 4 months of famine since the Christmas gluttony, Easter comes as a welcome ...read more
