Pastor Don focuses on the words Jesus said to his disciples as he was preparing to leave them. What can we learn from this farewell address?

What did Jesus mean when he called himself the gate? How do we recognize the voice of the Good Shepherd when we are surrounded by other false voices leading us astray?

God created our earth, and has made us stewards of the planet. We are called to be "Earthkeepers" and take good care of his creation.

The resurrected Jesus returned not with a brand new body, but with scars on his hands, feet and side. When we find new life in Jesus, God doesn't erase our scars either. Our scars and wounds are what allow us to reach others and offer them healing.

Pastor Don shares a simple announcement. Last night, sometime before dawn, God raised Jesus of Nazareth from the dead.

The crowds were cheering, but Jesus understood the what was happening differently than they did. He seemed to be the only one who knew what was coming.

When Jesus said the words, "It is finished," it was not a statement of defeat. Instead it was a declaration of accomplishment. He did what he came to do.

On the cross, Jesus committed his spirit into God's hands. These "Words that Matter" show the complete trust Jesus had in God even at the moment of his death.

There are some of the most heartbreaking and difficult words said on the cross. Did God really forsake Jesus? Did Jesus question his faith? What can we learn from this anguished cry to the Lord?

Jesus gave John and Mary to each other at the cross forming a new family. At the cross he gives us to each other forming a new family we call church.
