I have grown up in an America of whose people are fiercely patriotic. A patriot is one who has an intense love and support for his or her country. Around the world, patriotism takes on many forms.

Prayer: “Lord Jesus, you are the resurrection and the life. We ask you to resurrect us now, today, and give us life where sin and darkness have set in.

Display God’s Power 16 For if the dead do not rise, then Christ is not risen. 17 And if Christ is not risen, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins! 18 Then also those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. 19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men the most…

the Church has a nature and a purpose. tangible illustration: grain of salt vs. shaker and KFC fries; app usage? intro me context So we’ve begun working our way through Jesus’ famous teachings in what’s often called “The Sermon on the Mount”, thinking about this as Jesus’ blueprint for his Kingdom of…

Easter Sunday celebrates the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is hard to determine which is more important: Easter or Christmas? Without one, the other is meaningless. Both are critical to the Christian faith. If Jesus was not born of a virgin, he was not the Son of God. That is an…

A pastor was visiting a home of one of the parishioners. At the house it seemed obvious that someone was at home, but no answer came to his repeated knocks at the door. Therefore, he took out a business card that had printed “ Revelation 3:20 ” on the back of it for just such an occasion, and stuck it…

INTRODUCTION AND SET-UP: THE MYTH OF PROGRESS this means: this is the position that we can save ourselves by ‘getting better’. fixing the ills of society, helping the pool, recycling....all kinds of things that are good things, but often they become the goal. good feelings and confidence are associated…

My good friend Hawk Wetherby who is with the Lord today once told me that today is Jesus’ getting up day. I love that statement. Jesus got up and got out of his grave and He is alive church. I love stories and movies about Hope. We live in a world where there are too many discouraging things and hope-defeating…

Paul has been addressing a hypothesis: Christ has not risen from the dead. That hypothesis leads to some difficult conclusions: Faith is vain or meaningless. See 1 Corinthians 15.14 14 And if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain. Faith is vain or meaningless.…

Some were teaching that there is no resurrection of the dead. Why is the resurrection important? In this world there is so much suffering. Sickness. Cancers. Aging. Vision Problems. Hearing problems. Weakness. Pain. Sorry. Conflicts. Wars. We need hope. We long for something beyond this suffering. That…

Our Scripture lesson this morning is from 1 Corinthians 15:12-28 : Now if Christ is proclaimed as raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?
