  • Mind Blown

    Resurrection Is Real!

    He is Risen. He is Risen Indeed! Those are such fun beautiful words. But even when we say those words, does the truth of Easter always sink into to our minds and hearts. This Easter season, may God bend our minds a bit with the truth of Easter!

    1) Jesus finished the work of healing His world on Good Friday. He rested on the Sabbath. Easter morning was the time for new life to begin!

    2) The empty tomb with an angel sitting in Jesus’ spot let the women dumbfounded. But Jesus had prepared them for this moment.
    3) We can see and hear what Jesus has done, and yet the truth of the event doesn’t sink in.
    4) But when we don’t go running out to Resurrection, Resurrection came to us!
    5) We live in a world where a man really died and then really rose, just like He said. Resurrection happened, is happening and will happen again!

  • Sometimes you have to get your hands a little dirty

    Overlooked & Underappreciated  

    In the Passion History & Easter events, the burial of Jesus is often overlooked and underappreciated. But this event is powerful and gives us the boldness to get our hands a little ditry!  

    1) The God who created the earth was buried in the womb of the earth. 

    2) When we witness a baptism we actually step into the tomb of Jesus and are connected with the body of Christ 

    3) In that tomb we find the fullness of God in Christ and Christ is given to us. The dead body lying there of Jesus is a testimony of God’s love 

    4) For Easter to mean anything, that death and burial needed to mean everything. 

    5) His death gives us courage to praise the God who laid down His life to give us life.

    Failure?

    The feeling of failure can be one of the worst feelings in the world. But this weekend, as we study Mark 15:33-41, when it looks like failure it turns out that God is up to something amazingly significant with our sermon theme "ELOI, not Elias!

  • Let Go

    Time to Let Go!

    When we look at Jesus on the cross we see more than just a dark scene of suffering. We see God giving us every reason to “Let Go” with Him.

    1) God doesn’t make us do things His way. He will let us go our own way if we choose and will let us experience the consequences that come along with it.

    2) The ultimate consequence of our going our own way was let go on Jesus instead of us.
    3) Jesus let go of His final breath because He had exhausted the power of sin and paid the debt that we owed.
    4) When Jesus let go of His life, everything that separated us from God was let go as well! He is now up close and personal with us!
    5) We get to let go of our doing things our own way, of thinking we know what we need and how God should work. We get to let go and let God do it His way!

  • Jesus Crucified

    The Center of Our Story

    What Jesus accomplished when He was crucified on the cross is at the center of all of history! 

    1) Jesus took head on the worst this world has to offer.

    2) We were created to be in the image of God but sin disassembled us.

    3) Jesus took on Himself the undoing of humanity that sin caused.

    4) Jesus’ greatest act of ruling occurred on that cross.

    5) By not saving Himself, He saved us!
