Pastor Tim reflects on 9/11’s anniversary and then Greg helps us think about the final question in the New City Catechism (“What Hope Does Everlasting Life Hold for Us?”).
Pastor Tim helps us think about the next question in the New City Catechism (“Of What Advantage to Us is Christ’s Ascension?”).
Pastor Tim helps us think about the next question in the New City Catechism (“What does Christ’s resurrection mean for us?”).
The disciples at first saw an empty grave, but not a Risen King. We can find ourselves doing the same.
We live in a lost and wounded world, but what does that mean for us? As Christians, we should be known for our love. It’s time to shift our faith from an inward faith to an outward faith.
Do you believe the end is near? We are told to be prepared and to be patient. But in that patience, we also need to be urgent! Because the end is coming.
When Jesus comes again, what kind of body will rise up? God created all of heaven and earth, and He saw that it was good. That includes us! Even after sin and death entered the world, God made plans to transform us so we could reconcile with Him.
Jesus’ resurrection has massive implications for humanity. We have hope for today, tomorrow, and forever through his resurrection. All who have died in Christ will rise in Christ at his return.
Wouldn’t we all love a second chance? Jesus’ resurrection means that we have that second chance, third, or fourth. We are studying 1 Corinthians 15 and learning that the resurrection gospel is good news for anyone, any time, for any failure. That’s grace. And THAT is good news.
As we wrap up “alive,” we find that the resurrection speaks to more than just us having a body again: it speaks to restoration for the world.
