The resurrection of Jesus from the dead brought to an end the power of our common enemies — sin, death, and the devil. Life for the people of God should be pleasant, a mere step away from heaven.

1. Jesus seeks His fearful disciples, v. 19. The evening of this very eventful day, the first day of the week.

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.
