Still Waters, Right Paths

Sharing one’s Christian faith has never been easy, but in a country that feels increasingly hostile to Christian values, it seems more difficult than ever. Old evangelism principles seem...old, and outdated. What are we supposed to do? How are we supposed to do it? This series of sermons on evangelism offers insight into how we are to proclaim our faith.

When Jesus died his friends and followers had a natural reaction - they mourned. They had lost a friend, and even more, they had lost the person they found their hope in. But three days after Jesus' death, he rose again. His friends tears turned to laughter, their fears turned to excitement, and their sadness turned to happiness; they overflowed with joy. The good news is that Jesus' resurrection can make us overjoyed.

Good Friday is the day that the church remembers Jesus’ horrific death by torture and crucifixion.

Peace, joy, and hope seemingly disappeared...but not forever.

Palm Sunday is the day we celebrate Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem. However, Jesus’ entry into the city where he would die was not itself an event of pure celebration. Some cheered, but some feared and others jeered. So why do we celebrate?
