From the Archives! Dr. Tom Curran reflects on the seven (or eight) first words of Jesus in the time of resurrection as a guide for living as Easter people, in contrast to the seven last words of Jesus on the cross.1. Death does not have the last word2. Do not be afraid3. Mary 4. What are you discussing? 5. Peace be with you 6. Believe7. Do you love me?

In this Easter message, we explore how the resurrection of Jesus is the turning point of all creation. From Genesis to Revelation, Scripture reveals how sin fractured our relationships, filled the world with shame and fear, and set creation itself off course. But through the cross and the empty tomb, Jesus begins restoring what was broken—healing our relationship with God, repairing our relationships with one another, and bringing hope to a hurting world. The resurrection is not just about life after death; it is about new life beginning now as God's kingdom breaks into our present reality. Because Jesus rose from the dead, Easter changes everything.

Does You Need Faith To Celebrate Easter? | Christ For YouEaster SundayDid Jesus really rise from the dead? Can the resurrection actually stand up to scrutiny? Why does Christianity make such enormous public claims about a man who was crucified, buried, and then seen alive again? Why was the tomb empty? Why were the disciples suddenly changed? Why did James go from unbeliever to preacher? Why did Saul of Tarsus, Christianity's fiercest enemy, become its boldest preacher? And if Easter is true, then what does that mean for you? In this Easter Sunday sermon, Pastor Rojas proclaims that Christianity is not built on myth, private feelings, or blind faith, but on what God did in real history. The resurrection was public. The tomb was empty. The witnesses were many. The apostles preached Christ risen immediately, boldly, and in the very place where He had been killed. This sermon walks through the facts of Easter and shows why the resurrection of Jesus is not a religious opinion, but a reality written into history. But this sermon does not stop there. It goes on to answer the deeper question: why did this happen? Because sin is real. God's wrath against sin is real. And so Christ came with a real body, real blood, real pain, real tears, and real judgment for real sinners. He took your guilt, bore your condemnation, carried your curse, and rose so that you would never doubt what His cross accomplished. And then this sermon asks one final question: what happens now? Now you have peace with God. Now you have a new life to live. Now you have eternal life that death itself cannot steal. And because Jesus lives, those who died in Him live too. So Christians are allowed to be sad. But they are also really happy. Because Christ is risen, and we will see them again.

Welcome to Sylvan Way and thanks for joining us as we worship Jesus! Title: Why we celebrate Easter Easter changes everything. In John 11, Jesus stands in front of a tomb and calls Lazarus from death to life. That miracle points to the greater truth of Easter: Jesus did not come just to make life better. He came to make dead people alive. If you've ever felt disappointed, stuck, empty, ashamed, or like God did not show up the way you expected, this message is for you. Jesus is not just powerful. He is the resurrection and the life. Because He died and rose again, there is hope, freedom, and new life today. Jesus makes dead things alive. Where we seek to Love God, Love Others, and Live on Mission. We are a church that strives to live fully for Jesus, while sharing His story with others.

Like other historically Catholic countries, France is a big fan of Easter, which is known here as Pâques. Traditionally, families gather for a big meal that usually involves lamb in some form. French children go on egg hunts, but flying bells – not the Easter bunny – deliver chocolate treats. Meanwhile, public religious ceremonies are common across the country, but how is that compatible with France's strict secular laws? We take a closer look in this edition of French Connections.

What happens when a church looks alive on the outside but is spiritually asleep within? Pastors Josh Howerton, Carlos Erazo and Marc McCartney unpack the sobering message to the church in Sardis, diving deep into Revelation 3 and exploring the dangers of spiritual complacency. With powerful stories—including an inspiring testimony of transformation from the UK—and rich historical context from ancient Sardis, this conversation reveals how Jesus calls His church to wake up and walk in genuine intimacy with Him. They also wrestle with a timeless question: Can a Christian lose their salvation?    We hope this honest, hope-filled dialogue encourages you to examine your heart and press into a faith that perseveres.

They talk about the things that helped these converts either stay strong or stray, and lessons we can learn from that. They explore the lives and conversions of men like David Whitmer, Peter Whitmer, Parley P. Pratt, William McLellan, Thomas B Marsh, Orson Pratt, Sidney Rigdon, and others. They talk about the consequences those who strayed had in the suffering of others, and lessons we can learn from that.

  Matthew Paul Turner is on Reading With Your Kids to celebrate his children's book "You Will Always Belong." He explained that the book encourages children to feel a sense of self-acceptance and belonging. Matthew emphasized that loving oneself is important for truly loving and accepting others. He discussed previously feeling called to provide his own children with a healthy introduction to God through children's literature. Matthew shared his experience finishing a deceased friend's unfinished books, saying it helped with the grieving process. He found it powerful when a pastor later told him one of his books brought comfort to a woman in her final days. The conversation touched on themes of community, self-doubt and God's message of not being afraid. Matthew hopes "You Will Always Belong" will help children feel seen and empowered in their own belonging. Jed Doherty recommended supporting Matthew's work and reflecting on fostering belonging in the face of life's uncertainties. The discussion provided thoughtful insights into faith, mental health and using children's stories to start meaningful family discussions. We also hear a highlight from one of our past conversations with Mitali Perkins Click here to visit our website - www.readingwithyourkids.com,

Send us a Text Message.There are a ton of questions out there about Easter and whether Christians should celebrate it. And here's the thing. While there are a lot of internet myths and conspiracy theories about Easter's pagan and historical origins (which we address in this episode) there are also some legitimate concerns we need to look at. And we don't want to throw the baby out with the bathwater. So let's take a level-headed, biblical look at this holiday. And this episode is intended to be a helpful resource so we're going to cover a lot of ground, from pagan myths to Constantine to whether it's appropriate for Christians to celebrate Easter today.Defending the Biblical Roots of ChristianityOur websiteOur YouTube ChannelProf. Solberg's BlogSupport our Ministry (Thank you!)
