There is a genuine problem in the life of the modern church: a lack of true discipleship. Discipleship means giving up everything to follow Jesus. There is a lot of talk about Jesus and a lot of energy doing stuff but not a lot of following Jesus Christ as Lord. Because if Jesus is not Lord of all, he…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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,…

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,…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

1 Now on the first day of the week Mary Magdalene came to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and saw that the stone had been taken away from the tomb. 2 So she ran and went to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved, and said to them, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb,…

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. 5 The light shines in the darkness,…

What a great day to be here with you today! This is the day we celebrate the day Jesus made all things new. Today we celebrate not a dead Savior, but a Risen, Reigning, King who has given us life. We celebrate His victory over death and because of that, our victory too. Jesus made many claims during…

Seek the risen Savior.

It could have *** IMAGE: stone rolled away Mary finds the stone rolled away Her thought is entirely reasonable: “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him.” It does not cross Mary’s mind that something else has happened, that no one has broken in but Jesus…
