Send us Fan Mail Welcome to part 2 of this third message in the series, “Because He Lives: The Aftermath of Jesus’ Resurrection.” Today, we are talking about the relationship between baptism and the resurrection. The water we use in a baptistery simply helps us portray a profound truth: because Jesus is alive, everything in my life is made new.

Send us Fan Mail Scriptural Baptism is a special and significant event in the life of every believer. We invite our family and friends to see it. We give new Bibles and certificates to the baptizee . But in reality, that water baptism is just a picture, a symbol of what is going on on the inside of me, a portrayal of the resurrection of Jesus. My pastor used to say, “Baptism is an outward symbol o...

Send us Fan Mail Sunday School or Life Groups or Bible Study Groups, whatever an individual church may call these kinds of gatherings need to be healthy and effective and growing. The principles that we find in the account of Jesus and the two disciples on the Road to Emmaus are the very principles needed to make a Sunday School class what it ought to be.

Send us Fan Mail On the afternoon and evening of that first Resurrection Day, the glorified Jesus mysteriously met with two unnamed disciples as they made their way down the road toward Emmaus. The conversation that ensued is remarkable. The whole situation is strangely much like modern-day Sunday School or Bible Study Groups. Maybe our Sunday School classes should be more like this Sunday School...

Send us Fan Mail Welcome to part 2 of this second message in the series, “Because He Lives: The Aftermath of Jesus’ Resurrection.” Today, we are talking about what the Bible says about, what I would call, a Resurrection Revolution. In other words, the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead changes everything in your life. We’ve talked about some of those radical changes in part 1, now let’s fi...

Send us Fan Mail Philippians 3 is such a beautiful chapter, and in it Paul gives the evaluation of his life a three-count. Three times in that passage, he says that he counts, and each of those times he is taking what the world counts as an asset and he counts it as a loss. Do you ever find that your priorities and the things you value in this life don’t really match up with what the world is tryi...

Send us Fan Mail Welcome to part 2 of this first message in the series, “Because He Lives: The Aftermath of Jesus’ Resurrection.” We are talking about what the Bible says about Our Glorified Bodies. The Bible is clear that we will have glorified, resurrection bodies fit for eternity. But what will they be like? How can I possibly understand this concept that is so strange? The Bible encourages us...

Send us Fan Mail  Sometimes we think of Easter Sunday as the end. We’ve worked hard to get our facilities dressed up, to reach out to potential church-guests, to put together a great worship service, even to get a new set of clothes laid out. And then, whew, it’s over. No, it’s just beginning. Because of Jesus’ resurrection, it changes life both now and forever for us. Today, in this new series, “...

Send us Fan Mail When the women returned from Jesus’ empty tomb to report what they had heard and seen to the apostles, they were dismissed. The Bible distinctly says that those men didn’t believe them. When Peter preached after seeing the empty tomb and later even seeing and interacting with Jesus Himself, many people still didn’t believe him. The question becomes, What do you believe about Resur...

Send us Fan Mail The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the most pivotal moment in the history of the world. Because of His resurrection, everything changed for eternity. Yet some are unwilling to believe. They offer ridiculous theories, but the simple truth of the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus can change your life forever. Consider the proofs that Luke offers to the Reality of Resurrectio...

Send us Fan Mail No other event in the history of mankind has ever been so definitive and so divisive as is the Death, Burial, and Resurrection of Jesus Christ. He changed everything. And He continues to change everything through that one event. In Luke’s Gospel we see this change taking place. What a difference just a few hours make.

Send us Fan Mail I remember that Jesus said that no one would take His life from Him, rather He would lay it down and He would take it back up again. When I see so many prophesies being fulfilled in just a few short hours on Crucifixion Day, I realize that this was no accident. God had been orchestrating this for centuries. And when the Day came, Jesus was obedient unto death, even the death on a...

Send us Fan Mail American civics is in shambles; it’s broken. Every branch of government – from the executive to the legislative to the judicial – it’s all a mess. Maybe the saddest part is that this is nothing new. The Roman government that ruled the days of Jesus were corrupt and underhanded. How they handled Jesus and His prosecution tells that story. After He endured 3 illegal trials from the...

Send us Fan Mail Sometimes we use the term clown court to describe proceedings that are so out of whack that it’s impossible to find true justice. If ever there was a picture of that, it’s these so-called trials that Jesus endures from the time of His arrest til His crucifixion. And of all things, it is spear-headed by the religious establishment of His day, the very people who claimed to be await...

Send us Fan Mail  Some things in life are better caught than taught. Pray is one of those. Don’t get me wrong, we do need to study and learn about prayer and how to pray. But the best way to learn is to do. Sometimes we talk all around prayer but never get around to actually praying. So, maybe you want to begin by listening to someone you know who knows how to pray – listen to them and learn from...

Send us Fan Mail Jesus’ prayer life is well documented in the Gospels, from Him praying at His baptism to Him praying on the cross. Prayer was a priority for Jesus. It wasn’t His last resort, rather it was His first response. Were our prayer lives as prioritized, we too would see greater power to endure the things we suffer in this life. Let’s learn from Jesus’ prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane c...

Send us Fan Mail  The Bible says that right now, Jesus Christ is seated at the right hand of the Father, and He is continually making intercession for you, the saints of the Lord. He is praying for you. He sees what you’re going through; He sees the temptations facing you; and He is praying for you. What a beautiful verse when Jesus tells Peter, “Satan has asked for you that he might sift you as w...

Send us Fan Mail  Failure is awful. So much so, that some people hate failure to a greater degree than they love winning. For them, being cheated out of twenty dollars at a store is worse than finding a twenty-dollar bill in a parking lot. But the truth is that we do fail. Sometimes often, and sometimes big. The good news is that you can be forgiven and restored. God still loves you, and God can s...

Send us Fan Mail In the Wild West, at a quick-draw duel, one gunslinger might be said that he “got the drop” on the other one. That phrase has come to mean when one person has an advantage over another, or even when one person takes advantage of an unsuspecting other. If you think that Judas “got the drop” on Jesus and betrayed Him while His guard was down, you’d be mistaken. Jesus allowed it beca...

Send us Fan Mail What do you think about when you hear the name Benedict Arnold? Betrayal, right? Being a traitor. What do you think about when you hear the name Judas? The same. He will forever be known as a traitor, the one who betrayed Jesus. On the day before His crucifixion, a diabolical plan was set in motion against Jesus.

Send us Fan Mail Love is a sure theme in John’s First Epistle. He mentions love by name 46 times in this little letter. And although it is usually positive and encouraging and uplifting, he does use the word love negatively, saying that we should not love the world nor the things in the world. He even says that you can be sure that the person who loves the world doesn’t have the love of the Father...
