Podcasts about christ is risen

The powerful story of Thomas's encounter with the risen Christ, as recounted in John 20. This narrative challenges us to examine our own faith and reminds us of the profound blessing Jesus pronounces on those who believe without seeing. The sermon beautifully illustrates how Jesus meets us in our doubts, offering peace and inviting us to draw near. We're encouraged to see that even in our moments of uncertainty, Christ responds with gentleness and love, stooping down to our level to feed us spiritually. The imagery of the torn temple veil serves as a poignant symbol of our newfound access to God's presence, reminding us that we are now His living temples. As we reflect on this, let's consider how we can live lives worthy of this high calling, allowing God's peace and gladness to permeate our beings and transform our daily walk with Him.

Pastor Dan Seely preaches on 2 Corinthians 5:14-15.

Intellect alone will never SAVE a single soul! But it is quite the BULLDOZER when it comes to tearing down the otherwise stronghold of intellectual superiority. WORD/Living WORD, Jesus Christ resurrected exposes once and for ALL the FAILING buttress that is the Devil's ONLY defense. In proven bodily death, Jesus Christ became proven risen Son of God!Contact Us: CovenantsOnLine.com; Covenants.LLC1@Yahoo,com; on FB and YouTube @Covenants; or call 304.528.9220.

Easter Sunday Service (April 20) Groveport UMC, Groveport Ohio To support the ministry of the church, please click here: https://groveportumc.org/give/ OPENING SONG: Chancel Choir: “He Won the Fight” WELCOME & ANNOUNCEMENTS OPENING PRAYER: L: Christ is risen! P: We walked the valleys and saw the people crying in need. Jesus reached out to them. He did not criticize or diminish their needs. He touched their lives and they were never the same. The love that flowed through him to them was God's healing love. L: Christ is risen! P: We sat at table in the Upper Room as Jesus told of his death and we wanted to discount his words. How could he die? We did not want to believe it. It was easier to proclaim with bravado our faith than to listen to his words. L: Christ is risen! P: We waited in the Garden of Sorrows while he prayed and watched in horror as he was betrayed with a kiss. We followed at a distance and denied, with Peter, ever knowing who he was. We were in the crowd that clamored for Barabbas' release and turned our backs as Pilate washed his hands of the crime. L: Christ is risen! P: We followed him to the hill and cringed as they nailed him to the Cross. We heard his words of forgiveness and love from the cross and felt the ground tremble as the sky darkened and he gave up his life, into his father's hands. L: Christ is risen! P: We ran from the empty tomb today, with the incredible news that He is Risen! He was not captured by death, but is risen from the dead, just as he said he would be. We come with the joy in our hearts to this day. As the flowers in our worship area burst with color, so we burst with the absolute joyous news CHRIST IS RISEN! HE IS RISEN INDEED! ALLELUIA. AMEN. PRELUDE & LIGHTING OF THE ALTAR CANDLES: “I Sing the Mighty Power of God” *HYMN “Christ the Lord is Risen Today” #302 CALL TO WORSHIP: L: Run from fear and darkness! Hope is on the move! P: Run to tell the world, Christ is risen! L: Do not be afraid. Jesus has conquered death! P: We can proclaim with great confidence that God's love rules. L: Christ is risen! P: CHRIST IS RISEN INDEED! ALL: AMEN HYMN “Up From the Grave He Arose” #322 PRAYER OF CONFESSION: We have to admit it, Lord, that we had our doubts. We have heard the Resurrection story and for so many years it has remained just a nice story. But this time it is different. This time we have walked the path with Christ. We have journeyed through the wilderness and valleys, to the mountaintops to the courtyard, the garden and the cross. Now you bring us to the empty tomb and to the joyous news of the truth of Christ. Forgive us when we so easily doubt the truth of his resurrection. Forgive us when we feel we have to have absolute proof of everything. Your love in Jesus Christ is all the proof we need. You conquered death and sin, you brought us to new life. We praise your holy name and sing our unending song of hope and thanksgiving. Christ the Lord is risen today. Alleluia. AMEN.

What if you were there at the first Easter—would you have recognized the Risen Christ? In this episode, Fr. Robert McTeague, S.J., reflects on the call that comes with the Resurrection: to believe, to proclaim, to reconcile, and to live as saints. Because He is risen, we each have a mission. Let's take a closer look. Watch on YouTube: Christ Is Risen, Now What?  

As we have died with Christ, we now rise with Him in his bodily resurrection making all things new not just 2,000 years ago, but even at this very moment and forever.

Pastor Russell Howard will take us Beyond his Notes from the last sermon on Sunday. Victory - Jesus is Alive   Presented by McGregor Podcast 2025 Visit Our Website at McGregorPodcast.com

Life can be painful and uncertain, and it's easy to feel overwhelmed. In "Life is Hard, But Christ is Risen," Pastor Dave Gustavsen shares the story of Mary Magdalene, who stood at Jesus' tomb thinking all hope was lost. But when Jesus called her by name, everything changed — He was alive, and she was not alone. Because Christ is risen, we can face life's hardest moments with hope, knowing He sees us, knows us, and is with us.

Pastor Mike preaches on the non partiality of the hope of the resurrection, how the gospel is for all people, and the power inherent in the proclamation of the risen Christ before concluding that Christ's bodily resurrection is so essential to our faith that to deny it is to deny our faith and cuts us off from its power.

QUOTE FOR REFLECTION “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me, even if he dies, will live. Everyone who lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?”~Jesus, as recorded by John (11:25-26) “If Jesus rose from the dead, then you have to accept all that he said; if he didn't rise from the dead, then why worry about any of what he said? The issue on which everything hangs is not whether or not you like his teaching but whether or not he rose from the dead.” “Did the resurrection happen? Yes! But, you will be able to confront it only if you let it convince not only your reason and head, but also the commitments of your heart.”~Timothy Keller  “The New Testament writers speak as if Christ's achievement in rising from the dead was the first event of its kind in the whole history of the universe... He is the trailblazer of life... He has forced open a door that has been locked since the death of the first man. He has met, fought, and beaten the King of Death. Everything is different because He has done so.”~C.S. Lewis “If Christ is risen, nothing else matters. And if Christ is not risen—nothing else matters.”~Jaroslav Pelikan “...Easter says you can put truth in a grave, but it won't stay there. You can nail it to a cross, wrap it in winding sheets and shut it up in a tomb, but it will rise!”~Clarence W. Hall  “With Jesus, even in our darkest moments the best remains and the very best is yet to be…”~Corrie Ten BoomSERMON PASSAGE1 Corinthians 15:1-10, 17-19, 30-34, 58 (ESV) 1 Now I would remind you, brothers, of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand, 2 and by which you are being saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you—unless you believed in vain. 3 For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, 4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, 5 and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. 6 Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep. 7 Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles. 8 Last of all, as to one untimely born, he appeared also to me. 9 For I am the least of the apostles, unworthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10 But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them, though it was not I, but the grace of God that is with me. 17 And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins. 18 Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. 19 If in Christ we have hope in this life only, we are of all people most to be pitied. 30 Why are we in danger every hour? 31 I protest, brothers, by my pride in you, which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die every day! 32 What do I gain if, humanly speaking, I fought with beasts at Ephesus? If the dead are not raised, “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die.” 33 Do not be deceived: “Bad company ruins good morals.”  34 Wake up from your drunken stupor, as is right, and do not go on sinning. For some have no knowledge of God. I say this to your shame. 58 Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.

The churches, scriptures and witnesses testify

Descend with us into the very depths of hell to witness the most dramatic reversal in cosmic history. This haunting narrative takes you behind enemy lines to experience Easter from an unexpected perspective—the demons who believed they had won.The ancient Christian tradition of the "Harrowing of Hell" comes vividly alive as we hear the voices of darkness celebrating what they believe is their ultimate triumph. "Let the dark heavens ring with our victory," they gleefully proclaim, preparing chains for the crucified Christ who now descends into their realm like countless mortals before him. Their celebration echoes through the "black vaults of Tartarus" as they rejoice that "the so-called light of the world has been extinguished."But something unprecedented occurs—light begins penetrating the darkness. Confusion gives way to terror as the demons witness a figure "cloaked not in shadow, but in fire" whose "face is as the sun before time." The narrative reaches its climactic revelation as the underworld realizes its catastrophic mistake: "The cross was his weapon. His tomb was a trap for us." What appeared to be Christ's defeat was actually the instrument of his victory and death's undoing. As the ancient Easter proclamation declares: "Christ is risen from the dead, trampling down death by death."This powerful retelling invites you to see the Easter story through fresh eyes and contemplate its profound meaning—how light conquers darkness, how apparent defeat transforms into ultimate victory, and how death itself became the doorway to eternal life.

Fr Chris Borah Genesis 1:1-2:3Psalm 104:1-13Genesis 7:1-5, 11-18; 8:6-20; 9:8-13Exodus 14:10-15:1Ezekiel 37:1-14Zephaniah 3:12-20Psalm 98Romans 6:3-11Psalm 114Matthew 28:1-10

Each year we are presented the message of Easter. Yet, like many things over time, the powerful meaning of Jesus' resurrection may become overly familiar to us and lose its impact. Even to the eleven apostles who first heard the message, the good news “seemed to them an idle tale, and they did not believe” as Luke 24 tells us. Pastor Jordan Kologe reflects on the significance of the resurrection: what it is, what it means for the world, and what it means for each of us so that we too may believe.

A story of Redemption and forgiveness. Pastor Jon Verwey But if it is preached that Christ has been raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised. — 1 Corinthians 15:12–13 (NIV) […]

The Catechism demonstrates how Christ's resurrection is “essentially different” from other cases of resurrection in the Bible and shows us how his rising from the dead is a “work of the Holy Trinity.” Fr. Mike emphasizes that Jesus was not merely “resuscitated” from the dead, as Jairus' daughter or Lazarus, but he rose from the dead glorified, “filled with the power of the Holy Spirit.” Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 645-650. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.
