Message:
Luke 24:13-35 “Tombs to Talks”
On
this second Sunday of Easter, we look at the place of the Empty Tomb in
Jerusalem’s Church of the Holy Sepulchre to the Talk on the Road to Emmaus. The
tomb is found empty and soon after Jesus appears to two disciples on a road
going toward the village of Emmaus. Jesus continues to appear to us on the many
roads of our lives, speaking life and hope.
Message: John 12: 12-19 “Palms”
On this Palm Sunday, Jesus makes a grand entrance as he comes riding into Jerusalem. His entrance is filled with meaning and understood properly, it is at odds with what the crowd wanted and expected. Even the disciples didn't understand the implications until after Jesus' resurrection. In the same way, our understanding and image of God continues to grow and be redefined as we grow in our relationship with Him. What are the old images of God that weren't accurate and perhaps continue to hinder you? How is your understanding of who God really is continuing to develop as you continue to get to know Him more?
Text: The Book of Esther
Main idea: God is always
writing a story in this world… often in unseen and unlikely ways. We
join His greater story as we courageously live into the role he has written for
us with integrity and grace.
Text: The Book of Ruth
Main idea: The story of Ruth
is the story of ALL of God’s people. It speaks to an extravagant and
beautiful redemption that invites those who are far away to join the story of
God’s family.
