Scene 1. The journey through life can be a wild ride sometimes. We have our ups and downs. The fun times. The great memories. The times we would rather forget. And the times when we think all has been lost but somehow it turns out all right. That is the journey that the apostle Peter experienced as he…

Jesus Reveals Himself This sermon is a little different because we’re not identifying and focusing on a theme. We’re identifying and focusing in on a moment, or a series of moments, after the Resurrection. In the opening scene of John 20 , we get basically the same story as we read last week in Luke…

Poor Thomas gets a bad rap for his doubts. But I think that is a bit unfair. after all for many of us we often hear things and don’t believe them until we see it for ourselves. Mark 16:11 tells us that none of the men really believed the women when they told them that they had seen the risen Lord. John…

Look! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. For centuries Israel offered sacrifices to God for sin. Over and over, blood flowed, testifying that the penalty of sin was death. But over and over, a substitute stood in place of the sinner. Countless animals died under the priestly knife as…

Things aren’t always what they appear to be. And in life, some things are not what they seem to be. For example, we can make assumptions about things or people, and we steer clear of them because it seems like something we don’t like.

1 My brothers, show no partiality as you hold the faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory. 2 For if a man wearing a gold ring and fine clothing comes into your assembly, and a poor man in shabby clothing also comes in, 3 and if you pay attention to the one who wears the fine clothing and say,…

Gen 18.1 - 22.24 , 2 Kings 4:1-37 , Luke 17:28-37 Then the Lord appeared to him by the terebinth trees of Mamre, as he was sitting in the tent door in the heat of the day.

Private Appearances of Jesus In the Gospel of Mark , once the resurrection has happened, and the women go tell the disciples, who can’t fathom what’s going on, the gospel ends so abruptly that later editors added just a bit to explain Jesus’ continued work for and through the disciples.
