"When the Risen King Speaks Your Name"

John 20:1-18

Rev. Charlie Phillips

As you prepare for Good Friday and Easter Sunday I want to encourage you to consecrate your heart by surrendering it. 

We’re so prone in our lives to control as much as we possibly can. It’s the American way! It’s the air we breathe! And yet Holy Week reminds us that the greatest story of all—the story we are living in, the story that shapes us—is one in which we're simply not in control. 

Would the disciples have allowed the crucifixion if they could have stopped it? Wouldn’t we, if we had been there, have unsheathed our swords to save our Savior? This is the messiah complex we’re all born into—a posture of self-reliance, self-righteousness, and subtle idolatry. And it's precisely this that our Savior came to free us from, if we will surrender.

Let’s surrender together. 

Join us on Friday as we contemplate the agony of the crucifixion, and on Sunday as we celebrate the glory of the resurrection.

"I Am the Resurrection"

John 11:17-44

Rev. Charlie Phillips

Jonathan Edwards said that the “resurrection of Christ is the most joyful event that ever came to pass; because hereby Christ rested from the great and difficult work of purchasing redemption, and received God’s testimony, that it was finished”. But how does His finished work apply to our joy today? Join us this Sunday as we contemplate and celebrate our risen Lord and Savior!

"Living the Resurrection"

1 Peter 1:1-5

Rev. Charlie Phillips

John Calvin once said “The cross of Christ only triumphs in the breast of believers over the devil and the flesh, sin and sinners, when their eyes are directed to the power of His Resurrection”. What does he mean when he talks about the “power” of the resurrection? We all know and believe that the resurrection is a historical fact, but how does it display its power in our lives? Join us this Sunday as we talk about the living hope that flows from the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

"Easter is for Failures"

Luke 24:34

Rev. Dr. Stacey M. Cox

The loneliest, most distraught, man in Jerusalem when the sun broke the horizon Easter morning was Simon Peter. And it wasn’t close. The one who had bragged about his courage turned to butter under pressure. ‘I don’t know the man!’ haunted him. The last thing we are told after his denial is, he “wept bitterly.” We are still talking about it 2000 years later. What did Jesus think about Peter? How did Jesus handle him? Join us Sunday for “Easter is for Failures”!
