I’m still thinking about Easter. Although the recognized holiday has now come and gone … I am still pondering the power of Easter. You see … Easter was never meant to be acknowledged on only one day of the church calendar every year. Easter is a way of life … it is an eternal promise … it is the

You can have hope, joy, and peace in the middle of your Tuesday doldrums or Thursday despair because Jesus is our risen Savior.
For if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ has not been raised either. 1 Corinthians 15:13 (NLT)
What's your favorite part of the Easter story this year? I have a few. The ripped veil giving us access to God. The loving words of Jesus o...

He is risen! Hallelujah! Although we celebrate our risen Lord every Sunday, there is something special about celebrating on Easter. It’s the perfect time to sing songs about the resurrection of our Lord. My favorite Easter hymn comes from the pen of Charles Wesley in 1739, Christ the Lord is Risen Today. This hymn summarizes the Easter story in such a beautiful poetic verse.Christ the Lord is risen today, Alleluia!Sons of men and angels say, Alleluia!Raise your joys and triumphs high, Alleluia!S
He is Risen indeed! They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. (Luke 24:2-3) Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrectio…

Well, so much for the best-laid plans. I had wanted to write a post at least twice a month. But my last post was back in January! Even I was surprised. I can’t help but wonder, where did the time go? What have I been so busy doing? I won't say things have been easy, but it seems like all that has ha
Yesterday, we experienced the Garden of Gethsemane, where Jesus pleaded with the God to remove his cup of wrath. Christ submitted to the will of the Father.Today, Good Friday, is when Christ was crucified. He experienced the very thing he pleaded for God to remove not even 24 hours earlier. The cross is where Christ experienced the wrath of an all-powerful God and fully atoned for our sins. He took it all. He drank every last drop. Nothing was left.One aspect of the Crucifixion of Christ that ha
By Elizabeth Prata Can you imagine the pit of despair the Disciples felt on Good Friday? To them it was a hellish and confusing Friday. They were confused, they scattered, Peter even denied Jesus. …
Pastor Greg Laurie addresses common questions relating to Good Friday... Why is Good Friday called good? Why did Jesus have to die? And more.
Maundy Thursday is the least well-known of the Holy Week services. It is a celebration of the Last Supper, Communion, and the Passover meal that Jesus and his disciples were sharing together on the night before he died. Now, you may be asking why it is called Mandy Thursday. It’s kind of an interesting story. Maundy comes from the Latin from the Vulgate translation of John 13:34, where Jesus says, "A new commandment I give to you," and the word for commandment is the Latin word mandatum. So, ove
On Thursday of Holy Week, Jesus shared a meal with his disciples known as the Last Supper. During this meal, Jesus implemented the practice of taking Communion and demonstrated his sacrificial love by washing the feet of his disciples. But the most substantial portion of the Last Supper that has been recorded for us is Jesus’ teaching to his disciples following the dinner. This teaching is known as Jesus’ Upper Room Discourse, and it is found in John 13:31-16:33. This teaching can be seen as Jes
I like to remind (or encourage) you to do a post-Easter review of your Easter weekend. It’s one of the best ways to improve for next year.
I saw a staggering thing in John 13 this week. It comes after the footwashing, and after Judas went out. And it was night.
