Living in Rejoicing
To live with an attitude of rejoicing, independent of life’s circumstances, is a mandate given to you as a believer. It is not an ‘add-on’ to your Christian experience but your main Christian experience. You rejoice because of who you are and what you have. You are one who has been chosen by God, born again and being sanctified by the Holy Spirit. What you have is an incredible inheritance—eternal life with Jesus—that is imperishable, undefiled, and will not fade. It is God’s will that you rejoice amidst trials and tribulations as “proof of your faith”.

The Hope of the Resurrection (1 Corinthians 15:58)
Our view of Christ's work and our work should reflect 1 Corinthians 15. The emphasis is on Christ's work: 1) Christ's resurrection motivates and empowers our work; 2) Christ's resurrection secures our resurrection; and 3) Christ's resurrection fuels hope for this life. Because of Christ's work, we can be steadfast, immovable, and abounding in the work the Lord has for us.

The Hope of Resurrection
Luke 20:27-40 As Luke comes to the end of his writing project, Jesus comes to the end of His life, and speaks of the end of the age. And it is as the "end" is beginning that we come to understand the vital place of hope in the life of those charged with extending the Kingdom authority of God through the gospel. For Christ-followers, "resurrection" is more than an event; it is the recognition that God wins in the end, and all creation is liberated from the chains and corruption of sin.

Living In Suffering
When you become a Christian, there is some ‘fine print’ that is easy to miss. It goes something like this: “God will teach you how to love each other and trust in him through suffering. This serves as proof of his judgment that he makes you worthy to be in his kingdom.” In 1 Thes. 1:1-5, Paul teaches that you are to persevere in loving one another and learn to trust in God through “persecutions and afflictions”. It is by design that you grow through the difficult experiences of your life. This is how God judges you worthy to be part of is kingdom.

Parable Of Absent From The Body

The Road to Emmaus (Luke 24:13-35)
The Road to Emmaus seemed to be the end of the road for the two disciples, but when Jesus revealed Himself to them, it became the beginning of a new road -- a new way. The Road to Emmaus begins with despair and ends with a revelation of Jesus. The Road TO Emmaus is a sunset; the Road FROM Emmaus gives purpose and a new vision of Jesus.

The Road to Emmaus
God's story is vast and spans throughout all of history. But using the interaction Jesus has on the Road to Emmaus, we see how Jesus interprets this whole story...all in light of himself. This sheds a new light on the life, death, and especially the resurrection of Christ, and what it means for our story.

Were Not Our Hearts Burning Within Us?
The account in Luke's Gospel of the two disciples who met Jesus on the road to Emmaus after His resurrection is one of the most intriguing in the New Testament. It gives us, in story form, very deep insight into how it is that we come to know the Lord's presence in our lives. Against the backdrop of God's first seeking us, it shows us how the Lord uses the rich interplay of emotions, Scripture, understanding and participation in a common meal with uncommon meaning to bring us into a life changing realization of God's grace in Christ. The two who met Him said to the others, "Were not our hearts burning within us while He talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?" As we open the Scriptures today it is with the prayer that the Lord will make our hearts burn as well and that the burning in our hearts will transform our lives.

The Rising Power: Forgiveness
In order for there to be resurrection power, there must be a death. Pastor Mark talks about how forgiveness comes through the power of death. With references to Lazarus, Adam and Eve, and blood, we dive into the process and power of God's Forgiveness.

What Is That To You? You Must Follow Me
Life is a search for a voice we can trust -- a single voice that puts all other voices into quiet perspective, a voice that settles the loudness around us and speaks peacefully yet clearly and confidently. A voice we can follow. (Joseph Stowell, Following Christ, p. 3) Throughout this series of messages on Following Jesus we've been hearing that one voice that claims to be the voice we should follow.

Living In Hope
Since Jesus did come the first time, he certainly will come a second time as he promised, so that he can resume a permanent personal relationship with you—in-person! Since he also claimed that he and the Father are one, his word is infallible and therefore reliable. The key is not when or how, but that he will return. Live each day looking up since he will return in the clouds just like he ascended to heaven in the clouds. Hold on to life loosely, have a positive attitude, live with confidence and purpose, and rise above the cares of this world.

Ressurection Power
Our salvation, our victory, our healing, our prosperity, our everything is in that crucifixion and resurrection. Because in that, the devil was defeated, Jesus triumphed over him, and we triumphed over him with Jesus. There’s enough power in the crucifixion to raise up any man. All can be saved through this power. Also, anything of God in our lives, any area of faith, can be resurrected through the power of God. There’s enough power in the crucifixion to remove anything that would keep us from God. There’s enough power in the resurrection to take us up and out of our situations and circumstances and put us over them all.

Luke 15.11-32: Resurrection (Easter)
Thank God for Easter. It is on this day we remember the resurrection of Jesus. He suffered and died on the cross on Friday and was in the grave for three days. On the third day He raised from the grave. Today we thank for God for the resurrection. We are all in need of resurrection. To be resurrected is to be raised up. It is to be taken from one reality to a new reality. It is to be changed from the earthly to the heavenly. It is to be raised from life to death. We are all in need of this. Do you believe this?

The Truth and Proof of the Resurrection
Jesus’ resurrection is the cornerstone of what we believe because it proves that Jesus’ sacrifice was acceptable to God, that He really is God’s Son, that we have been forgiven of all our sins, and that we have a future hope that is greater than anything we could have imagined. The power of the resurrection can only become a reality in our lives if we believe it’s true. It’s not just a good idea or a nice celebration, it is everything, but only if it’s true!

The Confrontation Of The Resurrection
In first Corinthians Paul is writing to a large Christian church in one of the greatest ancient cities in Greece and he has to confront their resistance to the reality of the resurrection with solid evidence and careful reasoning. Paul presents this evidence and makes arguments because, inspired by the Holy Spirit, he wants to persuade us of something very important.

My Lord and My God
The truth about God is found in the cross. Jesus said, “I am the truth”. His mission on earth was to die on the cross for our sin and rise again to conquer death. To understand the cross is to know God. You may not want to hear the truth about God, especially if things are going well for you. But this does not negate another fact—that you are a sinner and will eventually die. Only God can fix this and desires for you to know the truth about his death and resurrection. When Thomas finally understood, he proclaimed, “My Lord and My God.”
