    A sermon for Easter.

    "Why Weep?" John 20:1-18 There are times in our lives so terrible, so painful and so difficult that weeping has a sort of "guttural sound" to it.

     | 4,207 views

    It's hard not to use superlatives when discussing the Easter story. In this story we see...1) the darkest hour in all scripture; 2) the biggest discovery in all scripture; and 3) the loveliest word in all scripture (for one of it's characters).

    Superlatives of the Easter Story Chuck Sligh April 20, 2014 (A PowerPoint presentation is available for this sermon upon request at chucksligh@hotmail.com).

    Mary discovers the empty tomb and runs to tell the disciples. Later, in her grief and confusion, she sees Jesus and hears him call her by name.

    John 20:1-18 “Seeing Jesus” INTRODUCTION Jesus has risen! Jesus is alive! These are the proclamations of Easter. They are the truth on which our Christian faith is based. These words are easy for us to say as we worship today. Yet, there are times in our lives when we find it ...read more

    Why Does The Resurrection Matter? Series

    Contributed by David Henderson on Apr 28, 2014
     | 7,061 views

    What is the difference in Buddhism, Islam, Judaism and Christianity? Simple. Of the four major religions today only one claims an empty tomb. The resurrection is the miracle that makes a difference between a religion that is dead and one that is alive.

    Why does the Resurrection matter? John 20:1-20 History records that Abraham who is known as the founder of the Jewish faith. 2000 years before the birth of Christ. His body remains in that tomb. History also records that in the year 483 BC that Buddha who about 80 at the time died from eating ...read more

    Easter Message

    How much evidence is necessary for belief? By any measure the evidence of the resurrection of Jesus is sufficient for belief. Why not take that step of faith?

    A young software engineer was asked by his manager Do you believe in the resurrection of the dead? . . . the day you took off to attend your grandfather’s funeral he stopped by to visit you. It seems to me most people here this morning are probably not interested in the evidence of the ...read more

    Easter isn't an event; it is an experience - of earthquakes, darkness and silence. Around you and within you. All working together for a glorious revelation.....

    EASTER: THE INVISIBLE HAND @ WORK Easter: The greatest, the grandest and perhaps the most glorious happening ever recorded in The Bible. And yet, every year, Easter comes and goes; passing by sometimes as an event, meditated on as an ideology and celebrated with much fanfare. However to a ...read more

    Living The Resurrection Life

    Contributed by Jon Lipka on Mar 4, 2012
     | 6,888 views

    Jesus came to this world to die, not to live, and in His death, He fulfilled every promise of God.

    In the darkest moments, God performs his greatest acts. Jesus was acclaimed “Son of David” on Palm Sunday. By Maundy Thursday, he was arrested in the Garden of Gethsemane and brought to trial before Annas and Caiaphas, Pontius Pilate and Herod. Friday he was condemned to death and was ...read more

    A teacher asked " What do you think were Jesus first words when He came out of that tomb?" A little girl shouted excitedly "I know,!" "Bethany what did he say." Extending her arms high into the air she said: "TA DA! Beloved TA DA Christ has risen!

    Unexpected Jesus

    Contributed by Theresa Ratliff on Mar 25, 2013
     | 4,330 views

    Do our expectations of who Jesus should be keep us from seeing who he really is?

    Maybe it’s just me, but there’s something about this story that has always bothered me. How on earth could Mary Magdeline, who has been one of Jesus’s closest friends, look right at him and doesn’t recognize him? Isn’t that like…the president of the George ...read more

    Easter Is Suppose To Hurt

     | 6,009 views

    This is a Easter sermon dealing with the pain of Good Friday its connection with the pain of Easter and the Joy of the Resurrected Christ.

    Easter moves us from Friday to Sunday, from death to new life. Friday, in Christian reckoning, is a null-point wherein the power of God is defeated by the empire of force. But the church has found in that Friday shut-down the transformative work of God. It is a Friday truth that suffering love ...read more
