    Broken: The principle

    Play Episode Listen Later May 20, 2012


    Life can be hard sometimes. And it’s not just you—everybody has problems. In a word, we’re all broken. The good news is God will eventually heal us, but until that time comes things can get tough here on earth. Very tough. Join us as we have an honest discussion about our brokenness and the pain and suffering that it brings. Most of all, join us to be encouraged by the hope that we have in Christ and the resources available to us here on earth. If you’re struggling right now, this sermon series is exactly what you need to hear. Today: The principle (Genesis 3:6-13, 16-24; & Revelation 21:1-3)

    Road to Emmaus

    What do you do if you’re a follower of Jesus but watch in disbelief as He’s arrested, tortured, crucified and put in a tomb? You get out of town, that’s what you do. Discouraged, depressed, sad and disappointed pretty much sums up the mood. The person who spoke with such authority on spiritual things and performed eye-popping miracles is now dead. So is your hope and expectations of Him as the Messiah, the promised Savior from God. Join us as we witness a life-changing journey of two devastated and unbelieving disciples of Jesus. They will never be the same, not after meeting a stranger on the walk back home to Emmaus. “Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road?” (Luke 24:13-35)

    The arrest of Jesus

    With Easter just a week away, we naturally begin thinking about what happened before Jesus’ resurrection: His arrest, trial, torture and crucifixion. Grim stuff to be sure. At the same time, if we look close enough we find numerous examples of just how much Jesus loves us. For instance, as we read about His arrest this morning we will discover tangible evidence of just how amazing Jesus’ commitment to us is. As we’ll find, He’s not only concerned about our spiritual health, but our physical and emotional health as well. Join us for an unexpected dose of hope and encouragement in the sobering event that launches the passion of Christ. (John 18:11)
