I always wondered what it must have been like to be in the room where the disciples met after Christ’s death. It would be interesting to see them when Christ appears in their midst. Can you imagine being Peter who denied Christ three times? Can you image the guilt over their doubting? How does Christ […] The post The Corrected Cynics (Luke 24:36-49) appeared first on Covenant United Reformed Church.
Many Bibles title Luke 19:28-40 as the Triumphal Entry. I have no problem with this title, but why do we call it the triumphal entry?

Today is called "Good Friday." What is good about this day? How long have we contemplated the implications of the name Good Friday? Why do we call it good?

Why is Palm Sunday mentioned in the Bible? Is this something that is only in the New Testament? These are some of the […] The post Palm Sunday: The Tribute King (Genesis 49; Zechariah 9:9; Luke 19:28-40) appeared first on Covenant United Reformed Church.
Jesus Christ has been raised from the dead. When we say that Christ has been raised from the dead this sounds almost cliché’. So why do we say that Christ has been raised from the dead? Why is this so important? What is accomplished by His resurrection? If you are interested in hearing the answer […] The post The Greater Mission (Luke 24:1-12) appeared first on Covenant United Reformed Church.
What is a victory? At what point can a commander declare that he has had a victory? Is it when the other army has fled? What if the commander loses the leadership’s support when he goes to battle? Can the person claim victory then? This is what we see with Christ. Christ does not have […] The post What is So Triumphant about the Triumphal Entry?
