This is the full Easter Sunday message for New Hope Chapel, delivered livestream April 12, 2020
Christ Is Risen, He Is Risen Indeed
Of the volumes of written material still around from that time period, no one, not even Josephus, tried to refute the eye-witness accounts of Jesusโ resurrection. The best they could come up with was to call it magic.
Please Remember Me
The rhythm and flow of the end of chapter 7 almost feels like the ebb and swell of waves. โThe waters swelled and increasedโฆโ in verse 17, and in 18, then 19, and again in 20. Can you feel the movement of the creaking boat, taking the swell aft, the water lapping and splashing, the keel groaning, the swell pushing up and up, then releasing leeward.
Mortal…Immortality
When a crisis or a tragedy rolls down like a flash flood in a wadi, and comes in pounding waves over my own family, tumbling us into heartache, trauma, and intense grief, I am so thankful the first thing we do is hold hands and start praying. God is with us, and His heart is no less broken than ours.
