The Resurrection The resurrection is essential doctrine ( 1Cor15:1-8 ) The resurrection proves Jesus claim to be the Son of God, the Christ ( Act2:32-36 ; Rom1:4 ) That His atoning work on the cross is finished and effective ( Rom4:24-25 ) That Jesus is both the Savior and the Sanctifier ( Rom6:4-10…

This Week’s Theme: He (Christ) Is Risen! Word of the Week is Resurrection: It is a rising again; chiefly, the revival of the dead of the human race, or their return from the grave, particularly at the general judgment. By the resurrection of Christ, we have the assurance of the future resurrection of…

Where is the hope It would seem to me that very few people have hope these days. For instance if I were to mention politics, I generally get a big groan, and regardless of whether you are on the more progressive side of politics, or the more conservative side, the thing that seems to unite everyone is…

Evening 31 March 24

Jesus has finished the Passover Meal with His disciples, and the Mount of Olives. The purpose was for prayer - Jesus prayed to God the Father for His Will to be done. The three closest disciples were to pray with Jesus; not for His deliverance but for their own sake. Time was drawing near, He was about…

It’s Easter and sometime people will say, how can you come up with a new Easter message every year. I mean it’s the same story… it doesn’t change. It’s kind of like all the different Titanic movies… in each one of them, the Titanic sinks. Easter is the same no matter how you tell the story but, I love…

Exegetical Point: Homiletic Point: Intro Kids, why was the book of John written? The author John had to go through a similar process to his readers. He had to see and hear and grow in understanding so the he would believe in Jesus as the Messiah. He wrote to help us believe, but today in our passage,…

John 20:1-18 JESUS: THE RESURRECTED REDEEMER Intro: Last Sunday we celebrated the greatest day in the history of the world. Today we celebrate the great truth that Jesus Christ, who was crucified on a Roman cross and died, arose from the dead just three days later! This one truth is what sets Christianity…

He is risen! Our entire faith rests on the fact that Jesus is alive. If he never came back to life, our faith is worthless, because there is no hope. We know that Jesus is who he said he is because he came back to life. Each of the Gospels records the amazing story of Jesus’ resurrection, well at least…

The gospel reading this evening assures us that Jesus lives! “Believe I live,” Jesus promises, “you will live also” ( John 14:19 ) — not just in a physical, earthly way, but in a higher, heavenly way. Yet, we live amid trial and tribulations in this place, so it begs the question, “HOW?” Well, first…

Easter. If it were not for this time of year, where we celebrate Jesus’ resurrection, what hope would we have? You see, the hope we have is grounded on the truth of the resurrection. 23 But the words “it was counted to him” were not written for his sake alone, 24 but for ours also. It will be counted…

Today I want to tell you a story. In fact, this is the way that Jesus used to teach his hearers a lesson, but he called His stories parables. Would you turn with me today to Luke Chapter 15. I want us to look at 3 stories but one in particular. Out of all the parables there are some that are very well…

It is Easter Sunday and a church member named Mary pulls into the church parking lot. There are a few cars already parked but most spaces are open. She remembers a time when you had to get to church extra early on Easter in order to find a parking space and this thought acts as a single cloud on an otherwise…

The Resurrection John 20:1–18 (ESV) Introduction The resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ was the divine affirmation of His atonement accomplished at the cross. When God raised Jesus from the dead, He declared that He had accepted Jesus’ sacrifice as payment in full for the sins of His people, completely…

Introduction Happy Resurrection Day! Today’s message is going to be centered around the Resurrection of Jesus. Let me say this: The Resurrection of Jesus is necessary to the Gospel of Jesus. It’s not enough that a man die for a cause. Martyrs die for causes - but it’s essential that the one who died…

HE IS RISEN! Good morning to all of you! I have some awesome news for you this morning, HE IS RISEN! (He is risen indeed!) I love that. Let’s try that one more time… HE IS RISEN! That is a greeting that has been in the church of Jesus Christ since the earliest days. It is based upon this verse in the…

One of my professors when I was in school always encouraged us to put ourselves in the story. What do you see? hear? smell? taste? feel? And its worth doing. Imagining what it would have been like to physically be there focuses our mindset to take in more of the details. To take note if you will, to…

Introduction It’s early this morning and I know that some of you, probably most of you, have been up since before dark. Now for some of you this is normal. The older you get it seems, the earlier you rise. But for anyone, no matter what time you get up, you will probably find that when you first open…

I’m going to start today with a question, not to answer out loud, but just to ponder internally: are you hungry? Not physically hungry I’m sure – you’re probably stuffed full of chocolate egg like me. But are you hungry for more of Jesus? On some level each of us are here, continue to be here in this…

John 20:1-18 and Luke 23:25-24:12 Scene 1. Jesus is Risen! It is the central truth of Christianity. Without it we have nothing. A cardinal fact and doctrine of the gospel is this. If Christ has not risen, our faith is in vain. The Apostle Paul understood this fact listen to his words in 1 Cor. 15:14-23…

In John’s narrative of the resurrection, it is remarkable in its sobriety, restraint, and indirectness. We do not receive an explanation of how or why the stone was removed. It is only implied, not explicitly stated, that the tomb was empty. There is no description of the resurrection itself. It was…

Intro: The Savior’s been crucified it is Friday night. His body has been prepped, He has been laid in the tomb, the tomb has been sealed, the guards have been posted is is Friday night. The disciples are scattered, the people afraid, the Pharisees hunting them down, its Friday night. Hope has been lost,…

Resurrection, New Creation The key event for Christians is the Resurrection of Jesus. That’s why Paul can proclaim in 1 Cor 15:17 “17 And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is worthless; you are still in your sins.” Jesus’ Resurrection is the key event that all of Christianity is built upon. In…

Are You The Real Deal? Or Are You Counting Cards? 1 Now Peter and John were going up to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour. This story would’ve spread among the early Christians as a separate story- one that begins to verify ALL that had been happening already. The early Christians were…
