How do we deal biblically with our pain and our grief? We asked this question several weeks ago as we began this short series on the biblical idea of lament. Is there a way to rightly give voice to your pain? Is there a path that gives you permission to wrestle with sorrow instead of rushing to its end?…

What events could cause a man to go to his death willingly, not just willingly buy joyfully. It is the events of the Gospel that can change a person to do this. It is the power of the Gospel that changes people inside and out. Such is the story of Ignatius. Ignatius was condemned to death because he…

THE CONFLICT BETWEEN THEM Was Martha’s frustration at Mary justified? At first, she probably tried to hint in a “subtle” way that she needed help, by making extra noise—maybe moving some pots and pans around with a little more vigor than the situation really required, and then by letting some utensils…

Remembrance As we gather this evening it is for the purpose to remember what Jesus Christ did… As we gather together we remember Him as we come to the Lord’s table, an sacrament instituted by the Lord Himself… The night that He would be betrayed… Jesus did something unique with His followers The Bread……

MARY MAGDALENE 9 Now when he rose early on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, from whom he had cast out seven demons. Mary Magdalene is one of the best-known and least-understood names in Scripture. Scripture deliberately draws a curtain of silence over much of her life and…

MARY’S RESPONSE OF WORSHIP Mary, filled with joy and bubbling over with praise, hurried to the hill country to visit her beloved relative, Elizabeth.

It is Easter Sunday! He is risen! Today is the day we celebrate the resurrection of Christ. January 1, 1863 was a history defining day in our country. We were entering our third year of the Civil War. President Lincoln then declared, through the Emancipation Proclamation, that all slaves held in the…

For the last several years I have gotten up super early on Easter to think about how many people so easily awake to forget about Jesus and what He has done for us. Our society has not helped with this over the years. It is so easy to put things on our schedule on Sunday’s or just to sleep in on a Sunday…

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

Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots. For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost. And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me…

Pre-service music Welcome Good evening. Welcome this gathering of Hope. We are gathered here tonight to remember what was done on the behalf of sinners so many years ago on a cross, on a hillside, in Israel. Jesus Christ, the Son of God, God in the flesh, willingly gave His life on the cross for our…

The Purpose Fascination - Discovery - Identity - Authenticity One day, Napoleon was speaking of the Divinity of Christ; when General Bertrand said:— “I can not conceive, sire, how a great man like you can believe that the Supreme Being ever exhibited himself to men under a human form, with a body, a…

DISCIPLESHIP Mary Magdalene joined the close circle of disciples who traveled with Jesus on His long journeys. Her deliverance from demons may have occurred relatively late in Christ’s Galilean ministry. Luke is the only one of the gospel writers who names her in any connection prior to the crucifixion.…

“Mothers the Closest to the Cross” Origins Origins of Mother's Day The custom of honoring mothers goes back at least as far as 17th-century England, which celebrated (and still celebrates) Mothering Sunday. Mother's Day in the United States has rots dating back to 1872 with Julia Ward Howe, a writer,…

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 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…

25 And that is what the soldiers did. Meanwhile, standing near the cross of Jesus were his mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. It is hard to imagine. Not really that hard - because we’ve walked this way quite often. But still quite hard. To imagine what it is…
