Easter Series

Contributed by Robert Butler on Mar 29, 2021

The truth is always the same: The only hope we have in this life stems from what God did for us. He came for you. He suffered for you. He Died for you. He rose for you. He moved heaven and earth for you.

“Lent is one of the oldest observations on the Christian calendar. Like all Christian holy days and holidays, it has changed over the years, but its purpose has always been the same: self-examination and penitence, demonstrated by self-denial, in preparation for Easter.

Seven Sundays To Easter: Mary Magdalene’s Undying Love For A Risen Savior Series

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Apr 1, 2021

John 20 records Mary Magdalene's journeys to the tomb where the body of Jesus was placed. She was the first person to see and speak with the Risen Lord Jesus, and showed Him her undying love.

Introduction: Mary Magdalene was one of the women who followed Jesus during His earthly ministry. Jesus had cast seven demons out of her at an earlier time (Luke 7-8:2) so no doubt she would be grateful for that miracle.

Then... Came Jesus

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Jan 28, 2022

Notice, our Bible tells us in verse 19, that the disciples were “assembled” behind closed doors.

Many folks believe it is possible the doors were locked since the reason they were shut up was because they feared for their lives. The Greek word used for “closed” here certainly indicates “secured” or “locked.” Since the Bible points out that they were behind closed doors at that particular ...read more

Easter 2016: Empty Promises

Contributed by Scott Bayles on Dec 22, 2020

On the first Easter Sunday, instead of promises full of emptiness, God gave us emptiness that is full of promise. There are at least three of them—an empty cross, empty clothes, and an empty cave. It is the very fact that each of these is empty that assures us that God’s promises are not.

Total Confusion Series

Contributed by Roberta Karchner on Apr 19, 2024

If you feel like you are out of place, don't worry. That first Easter morning no one "got it." So if you don't get it, if you doubt, if you feel like this whole thing is crazy, you are in the right place. We don't have all the answers, we are just looking for them.

Back when I was growing up, there was a pattern almost everyone followed, or at least we appeared to. We woke on Sunday, got into dress clothes, went to Sunday school and worship, and topped it off with a hearty lunch. Then, to further date myself, we would tune our black and white tv on to one ...read more
