Re-Discovering The Resurrection

Contributed by Tom Fuller on Apr 9, 2007

Emotions ran high for those who witnessed the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. How those emotions changed and what changed them made the difference between faith and disbelief.

For many of us, when I say the word "Easter" or "Resurrection Sunday" or even "Third Day" it brings things to mind. If you are a Christian you may think of the empty tomb, or of the angels and Jesus’ visit to the disciples. If you are not a Christian you might think of the Easter Bunny or "maybe I ...read more

On this resurrection Sunday I want to speak about the story of the resurrection, the sign of the resurrection and sharing the message of the resurrection of Jesus. (NB - NOTE TO THE PREACHER - I began my talk by asking people about their favourite books and stories, and asking them to tell us if ...read more

Angel Gear

Contributed by Tony Grant on Nov 10, 2005
