Send us a textPersonal Power vs Circumstantial PowerOwning your power is the first step to owning your life. Most people live based on circumstance and so they become the effect of whatever life causes. That's not power.True power is being steady in yourself no matter what is happening around you. And as you are calm in whatever chaos is around you, you then become the cause of your life rather than the effect.Details for the Powerhouse Feminine Program on Healing Worthiness & Coming into your Power: https://marliansel.com/powerhousefeminineSupport the showThank you for being here!

Episode 359: On a warm summer evening in June 1887, 17-year-old Mary Pickering Tuplin vanished from her family's farm in Margate, PEI. A search and a grim discovery followed that would rock the quiet farming community to its core. Mary's body was found in the Southwest River, weighed down by a heavy stone, with two gunshot wounds to her head. The subsequent investigation would uncover a web of secrets, including the fact that Mary was six months pregnant. Circumstantial evidence led to 19-year-old William Millman's arrest, allegedly Mary's lover. The shocking facts of the crime and its investigation led to a sensational trial that captivated the entire country. Millman was convicted and sent to the gallows in April 1888. Was justice indeed served, or, as some speculate, was an innocent man sent to the gallows?

Summary of Criminal Procedure – Lecture 3 Introduction Lecture 3 focuses on constitutional protections in criminal proceedings, covering the Fifth and Sixth Amendments and pretrial and trial procedures. Key Topics: Fifth Amendment: Protection against self-incrimination, Miranda warnings, and double jeopardy. Sixth Amendment: Right to counsel, a speedy trial, an impartial jury, and confrontation of witnesses. Pretrial & Trial Procedures: Grand juries, bail, plea bargaining, discovery, burden of proof, sentencing, and post-conviction relief. I. The Fifth Amendment Protects individuals from coerced confessions and multiple prosecutions. A. Miranda Rights & Custodial Interrogation Miranda v. Arizona (1966): Suspects must be informed of right to remain silent and counsel. Failure to provide warnings may make confessions inadmissible. Exceptions: Public safety, spontaneous statements, and routine booking questions. B. Voluntary Confessions & Self-Incrimination Confessions must be voluntary—coercion makes them inadmissible. Exclusionary rule bars evidence obtained in violation of Miranda. Privilege against self-incrimination applies only to testimonial evidence. C. Double Jeopardy Prohibits multiple prosecutions or punishments for the same offense. Exceptions: Separate sovereigns doctrine, mistrials, and appeals. II. The Sixth Amendment Guarantees fair trial rights. A. Right to Counsel Gideon v. Wainwright (1963): Indigent defendants must be provided counsel. Applies at all critical stages, including plea negotiations and sentencing. Strickland v. Washington (1984): Defendants may claim ineffective assistance of counsel. B. Speedy & Public Trial Barker v. Wingo factors: Length, reason, defendant's assertion, and prejudice. Speedy Trial Act (1974): Federal trials must start within 70 days. C. Impartial Jury Batson v. Kentucky (1986): Prohibits racial discrimination in jury selection. Ramos v. Louisiana (2020): Criminal convictions require unanimous verdicts. D. Confrontation Clause Right to cross-examine witnesses. Bruton v. United States (1968): Co-defendant's confession cannot be used against another defendant. Maryland v. Craig (1990): Limited exceptions for child victims. III. Pretrial & Trial Procedures Focuses on probable cause, bail, plea deals, burden of proof, and sentencing. A. Grand Juries & Bail Grand juries determine probable cause, but defendants cannot present evidence. Bail must not be excessive (8th Amendment); based on flight risk, crime severity, and public safety. B. Plea Bargains & Discovery Most cases resolve through plea deals. Brady v. Maryland (1963): Prosecution must disclose exculpatory evidence. C. Burden of Proof at Trial Prosecution must prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Direct vs. Circumstantial Evidence: Direct = witnesses, videos; Circumstantial = motive, behavior. D. Sentencing & Post-Conviction Relief Mandatory minimums limit judicial discretion. Death penalty restrictions: Roper v. Simmons (2005) bars execution of juveniles. Appeals & Habeas Corpus: Review constitutional errors. Wrongful Convictions: DNA evidence & Innocence Project help exonerate the falsely accused. Conclusion Today covered constitutional protections, trial rights, and post-conviction remedies. These safeguards ensure fairness, prevent wrongful convictions, and protect due process. Tomorrow, we will examine criminal appeals and habeas corpus petitions.
The conversation delves into the tragic case of Iyana Sawyer, a 16-year-old who went missing under mysterious circumstances. The hosts explore the events leading up to her disappearance, including her unexpected pregnancy and the complex family dynamics at play. As the investigation unfolds, suspicions arise around her uncle, Jonathan Quiles, who ultimately confesses to her murder. The discussion highlights the challenges of circumstantial evidence in securing a conviction, as well as the emotional toll on the family involved. The conversation delves into the harrowing testimonies surrounding the cases of Iyana Stewart and Na'Ziyah Harris, highlighting the failures of family and community in protecting vulnerable children. It discusses the disturbing realities of child grooming, the legal proceedings involved, and the critical need for vigilance and advocacy for children's safety. The speakers emphasize the importance of recognizing red flags and taking decisive action to prevent such tragedies from occurring in the future. —————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— Takeaways The importance of open communication between parents and children. Teenagers often confide in peers rather than parents. Unexpected pregnancies can lead to complex family dynamics. Family members can sometimes be the source of danger. Circumstantial evidence can be compelling in court. The role of trust in family relationships is crucial. Investigations can uncover unsettling truths about loved ones. Community vigilance is essential in protecting children. The impact of grooming on young girls is profound. Justice can be served even without a body. —————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— Chapters 00:00 Introduction to Iyanna's Case 00:51 New Chapter 2 03:13 The Disappearance of Ayanna Sawyer 05:53 Ayanna's Life and Pregnancy Revelation 08:38 Family Dynamics and Trust Issues 10:57 The Investigation Begins 13:32 The Role of Jonathan Quillis 16:23 The Shocking Confession 18:29 Circumstantial Evidence and Trial 21:08 Verdict and Implications 29:57 The Testimonies Unfold 34:11 The Disturbing Reality of Child Safety 34:16 New Chapter 34:34 The Preliminary Trial of Naziah Harris 51:04 Lessons Learned: Protecting Our Children 58:54 The Judge's Critique and Community Responsibility 59:51 trueCrime-outro-high-long.wav —————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— Keywords true crime, Avis Banks, murder case, investigation, Keyon Pittman, Carla Hughes, family dynamics, emotional responses, infidelity, forensic evidence, murder, trial, evidence, investigation, appeal, justice, crime, relationship, choices, consequences
Sanhedrin 37 : Marc Chipkin : 2025-01-23 The Sanhedrin was seated in a semicircle. Even the “empty ones” among you are full of mitzvot like a pomegranate. Killing someone not only removes his life but that of his unborn descendants as well. Circumstantial evidence is not permitted.
Part one of the investigation into the murder of Fred Jablin. On October 30, 2004, Fred Jablin was gunned down in the driveway of his Virginia home. He was a well-respected college professor and devoted father to three young children. Police zeroed in on Fred's ex-wife, Piper, who owed him nearly $7,000 in back child support. Circumstantial evidence, including an airline ticket, two wigs and gas purchased in the area, all with a credit card in the name of Piper's former boyfriend, indicated to investigators that Piper plotted to kill her husband using her sister's identity. “48 Hours" correspondent Harold Dow reports.

In our time-tested judicial system, we call upon witnesses who tell us what they saw. The more witnesses, the better. Those witnesses must then be cross-examined. Circumstantial evidence is also presented to buttress the case. If the evidence is compelling and multiple witnesses testify to an event and stand up under cross-examination, the jury should conclude that the event took place beyond all reasonable doubt.I contend the New Testament gospels meet this standard in telling us about the miraculous life of Jesus Christ.Join me for today's Daily Word & Prayer to learn more.Scripture Used in Today's MessageHebrews 2:3-4John 19:35John 10:37-38 Have you read my book, "Takin' it to Their Turf"?If not, you may request a copy on my website, www.TomthePreacher.comWe send a copy to anyone who donates to our ministry, but if you can't do so, simply request a copy by sending us an email.

Thanks for watching and listening! In this episode, I explore two types of ambition: instinctual, also known as naturally driven ambition, and circumstantial, also known as need-based ambition. Both have their place and one is not inherently better than the other, but knowing which you are might just help you achieve your goals.

This week we begin a new, church-wide study based on J.Warner Wallace's excellent book "Cold-Case Christianity". Wallace was an atheist and a cold case homicide detective. He read the Gospels found that they sounded like eye witness accounts he spent his career working with. Long story short, he investigated and became a Christian. This series will be a great opportunity to invite your unchurched or unchristian friends and family to either come to service or watch online or perhaps read the book with you. This Sunday we will be looking at chapters 3 and 10 in the book considering the distractions the adversary brings to keep us from seeing the evidence and a look at the evidence we see in creation. Read Isaiah 1:18; 40:26; Romans 1:20; 1 Peter 3:15 and consider what they say about evidence.If you want the book you can buy it on Amazon.com or in our cafe: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0830785302?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_dp_HR4JDMDWFD6V431QXV6RThere is a kids version of this book you can read through with your kids. you can get it on amazon, in the cafe or in our kidslane: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0781414571?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_dp_75GHYTMFMAE2NGHJGPYSThere is a participant's guide with guided discussion you can pick up online. https://www.amazon.com/dp/1434711447?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_dp_4BGEEESVW70M2CYXRZ59There is an 8 week video study you can do on Right Now Media.

In Exodus 4 & 5 we see God's people respond with a burst of enthusiasm and praise for the Lord over the news of what He promises to do, but when it doesn't happen on their timing, the worship quickly turns to grumbling. If we're honest with ourselves, doesn't the Church seem to struggle with this still today? So what can we learn from this section of Scripture?
As the boys open up another episode of 3GT, they go about their common bantering to begin. But then they settle in to discussing the topic at hand, which is “What is the difference between elements and circumstances of worship? And why is it important?” They begin by defining what are the necessary elements, or …

Despite being raised in a loving Christian household, Boston experienced early battles with intense anxiety and depression, a struggle that escalated into feelings of worthlessness and self-violence during her teenage years. Circumstantial life changes added to her feelings of isolation and deepened her desire to hide the tumult she felt inside. Despite the darkness, Boston held onto the promises of the Bible, with the help of her family and church. My prayer is that Boston's story offers comfort and hope to anyone facing similar battles. And that you are reminded that, in Christ, we are more than conquerors.FOLLOW and SUBSCRIBE:Instagram | Youtube | Website | NewsletterIf you've enjoyed this episode, one of the best ways to support the show is to help others find it!

Years after the emergence of COVID-19, the origins of the pandemic still remain unclear. With many theories being considered, getting to the bottom of the evidence has been challenging for scientists and reporters alike. So, what do the potential beginnings of COVID-19 look like? Alison Young, a veteran journalist with nearly fifteen years of experience covering safety breaches at U.S. laboratories, joins us to explain… In April 2023, Alison released Pandora's Gamble: Lab Leaks, Pandemics, and a World at Risk, a book that dives into the history of safety errors in scientific labs – and how such errors could potentially have contributed to the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic. What has her research done to further our understanding of this complex subject? Tune in now to see for yourself! In this episode, we cover: Why it is dangerous to dismiss investigations as conspiracy theories. Circumstantial evidence that supports the lab leak theory. The long history of safety breaches in labs, and why they are often kept secret. You can pick up a copy of Alison's new book here! Episode also available on Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/38oMlMr

It's difficult to nail down the exact situation of this Psalm. We don't know who wrote the Psalm, when it was written, from where it was written. And yet, what we do know is enough to get a good sense of what it was that was going on.For starters, the writer of this Psalm is not young. Did you catch that? Look at verse 9, “Do not cast me off in the time of old age; forsake me not when my strength is spent.” Or, verse 17, “O God, from my youth you have taught me, and I still proclaim your wondrous deeds. So even to old age and gray hairs, O God, do not forsake me.” He's not young. In fact, he's grown old, and not only that, but he's grown old in such a way, that he feels it. He notices it. He recognizes he is not the man he used to be in regard to his physical abilities. He's grown old, and, in his own words, his strength is spent.We also know that this old, worn man, has enemies. Verse 4, “Rescue me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the grasp of the unjust and cruel man.” Verse 10, “For my enemies speak concerning me, those who watch for my life consult together.” He's got enemies, his enemies want him dead, but unlike himself, his enemies don't seem to have shown any sign of slowing down. For the words on their mouths are not, “My strength is spent” but, verse 11, “Pursue…seize.” The Psalmist is the wounded and worn out prey in this picture, his enemies are the vicious lions in the thicket.SignificanceIt's not a promising situation if you're the Psalmist here, right? His enemies in the background, full of vigor, himself in the foreground, wore out and weak. Do you get a sense for just how defenseless he would have appeared before his enemies? Do you get a feel for just how threatening his enemies would have appeared before him? But there's yet another layer to this whole thing that we need to recognize. An aspect of this situation that incites this entire Psalm, gives this thing weight, significance, a sense of consequence, like whatever happens to this man has massive relevance for a far larger group of people, on the outside as they look in. What is it? What is that aspect that adds surprising weight to a situation from a few millennia ago between an unknown Psalmist and his unknown enemies in an unknown location? It's not that his enemies noticed that this man's movements have slowed a bit and concluded, “He's weak.” It's not that his enemies have caught a glimpse of his tired, wrinkle eyes and concluded, “He's worn out.” But, it's that while at other times his enemies might have seen him in his strength and health and concluded, “Look at his power, his vitality, his prosperity, his position in society – surely that means his God is with him. If his God is with him, we're not going to try and take him down.” But now when they see him wrung out, now when they observe him exhausted, now when speak concerning him and consult together they conclude, “surely what his current state of weakness means is that his God has left him.” Verse 11, “God has forsaken him; pursue and seize him, for there is none to deliver him.” You see the significance here? Their conclusion takes in the poor, fatigued, outward appearance of this man and goes upward. Goes vertical. Concludes “If a man looks like that, the only reasonable explanation is that his God has left him.” You get that? Circumstantial decline equals spiritual destitution — that's their logic.Do you see the kind of bearing this might have on you, me, someone looking in on this and thinking, “Well my circumstances look an awful lot like his. In fact, mine might be even worse. I've lost my strength. I've lost my energy. I've lost my ability. Physically speaking, I am a shell of who I used to be.” If it's true that his situation signals God left him. What should I conclude when I look in the mirror and see much of the same? You see the significance? Should God's people conclude God has left them if they're experiencing decline? I mean, anyone here ever experience a season of physical decline? I mean, my goodness!So, the way his enemies are looking upon this man, concluding his poor physical situation a sign of spiritual desertion by God, is what it means to be seen as a portent. See verse 7, “I have been as a portent to many.” That's not a word we often use, but put simply, a portent is a sign. A sign, given by God, to signal attention (Blinking red light - Hey, look here, look here! See, by the look of this thing, or the look of this person, an outward picture of my inward disposition toward that person, or that nation he's a part of). As an example, the Egyptian plagues were portents – signs of God's judgment of Egypt (Exodus 7:3). The prophet Isaiah served as a portent – a sign of God's judgment against Egypt and Cush (Isaiah 20:3). The prophet Ezekiel served as a portent – a sign of God's judgment against Israel (Ezekiel 12:6). In all three cases we know they are portents, we don't need to guess at it or wonder, because God says it explicitly and it is recorded for us in his word. Well that's what this Psalmist's enemies are saying. Without a word from the Lord, they are saying, “This is a man forsaken by God.” And note, it may not be they were the only ones thinking that. Again, verse 7, “I have been as a portent to many.” Maybe friend or foe alike were drawing that conclusion about him. I mean, would it have been the first time a group of people concluded their friend cursed by God simply because of their disastrous circumstances? Think of Job and the conclusions his friends drew upon seeing him. ResponseSo, zooming out for a moment. Worn, tired man – wicked, cruel enemies – conclusions arising about having been forsaken by God. It doesn't look good for the Psalmist does it? And yet, that is the reality he is faced with. And there are a number of ways he could have choosen to respond. He could have gone into denial, “I don't need a refuge.”He could have gone into despondency, “I'm a gonner. What's the use of seeking refuge?” He could have puffed himself up in pride, “I can take them. I am my own refuge.”He could have put his trust in man, “I'll call on people more powerful than they – they'll be my refuge.”Well, he didn't do any of those things. But what he did do was set his sights on the only refuge that he – in all the many years of his long life – had ever known. Verse 1, “In you, O LORD, do I take refuge. Let me never be put to shame.” He goes to God for refuge, and that movement of his toward God for refuge is what we're going to look at for the remainder of this sermon. His movement toward God as refuge, in which, first, he calls out to God. Second, he recalls the character of God. Third, he draws a conclusion concerning God and his care for his people. Call to God, character of God, conclusion concerning God and his care for his people.Call to GodFirst, the Psalmist calls to God. And let's just recognize for a moment just how hard it can be to even do just that in situations as sad as these. I mean you've been there, right? Wore out with tears, weighed down by sorrow, you want to call out to God but the words just seem to get stuck in your throat, you know? As if it's the most challenging task in all the world to get your mouth to even whisper, “God, help.” It makes it all the more amazing, and instructive, to note that God gives the Psalmist the grace, in this moment, to not only call out to God, but do so over and over again. He says,Verse 1, “Let me never be put to shame” Verse 2, “deliver me, Rescue me, Incline your ear to me, save me” Verse 3, “Be to me a rock of refuge to which I may continually come” Verse 4, “Rescue me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked.” Verse 9, “Do not cast me off, forsake me not” Verse 12, “Be not far from me, make haste to help me” Verse 18, “do not forsake me” The Psalmist calls out to God.Character of GodAs he calls to his God, he recalls the character of his God. That he is faithful. Verse 22, “I will also praise you…for your faithfulness, O my God.” That he is Holy. Verse 22, “I will sing praises to you…O Holy one of Israel” That he protects his people. Verse 3, “You are my rock and my fortress.” Verse 7, “You are my strong refuge” That he sustains his people. Verse 6, “Upon you I have leaned from before my birth; You are he who took me from my mother's womb.” More than anything else, over and over again, he says God is righteous.Verse 2, “In your righteousness deliver me” Verse 15, “My mouth will tell of your righteous acts” Verse 16, “I will remind them of your righteousness, yours alone” Verse 19, “Your righteousness, O God, reaches to the heavens” Verse 24, “My tongue will talk of your righteous help” See the reason he knows his cry doesn't fall on deaf ears. The reason he knows not one of his words are not spoken in vain is because he knows something about his God that his enemies don't. Namely, that though friend or companion may spurn you, though neighbor or co-worker may turn on you, though brother, or sister, or mother, or father may say to you, “Good riddance, I'm gone!” God won't. If you are truly his, God will not forsake you because God is not like man. Untainted by sin, untouched by evil, unlimited in energy, awareness, and presence He is the only infinitely reliable rock and fortress for mankind. It is upon his character that the Psalmist rests his weary soul.Conclusion For All Who Seek Refuge In GodSo he calls out to God. As he does, he recalls the character of God. And lastly, he draws a conclusion concerning God and his care for his people. And he does so in a really unique way. He draws a conclusion concerning God and his care for his people by connecting it to his own praising of God. Said another way, he cites his praising of God as the key to understanding God's care for his people. Now how does this work?Does he reason, the way God cares for his people is conditioned upon whether or not they praise him in return? That's the key. That's the connection. Like the Psalmist is saying here, “God, I will praise you in return for you saving me.” Is that how the Psalmist wants us to understand the way God cares for his people?Well it can't be, because there's nothing conditional about words like: Verse 6, “My praise is continually of you.” Verse 8, “My mouth is filled with your praise and with your glory all the day” Verse 14, “I will praise you yet more and more.” Verse 22-23, “I will praise you with the harp, praise you with the lyre, shout for joy to you with my lips… and sing praises to you” It's not conditional, it is certain. This man is going to praise God.Is it because he reasons, the way God cares for his people is based upon whether or not they earn his favor? That's the key. That's the connection. Like, “God, you should save me because I've praised you. I've always praised. Why, just listen, I'm praising you even now.” Well it can't be because nothing is said in this entire Psalm about the Psalmist being deserving of anything. Instead, this Psalm is overwhelmingly focused on God's righteousness, God's goodness, not this man's. So if he's not trying to make a deal by offering to praise him, if he's not trying to earn something from God by praising him, what then is the connection between his praise of God and God's care for his people? What is this Psalmist wanting us to see about God's care for his people given that he says, “I will praise him more and more?” IndicatorWell, what he's wanting us to see is that his praising of God is a sign. An indicator. A proof — God is his strong refuge. God is his mighty fortress. He is, in fact, God's man, loved by him, not forsaken but held tight to his chest. His enemies have a plan to take him out. His enemies conclude God has left him. God has forsaken him. The Psalmist says, You want to know how God cares for his people? Listen to their praising of him!The Psalmist's continued praising of God is the sign, the indicator, God is still faithful. The words of the Psalmist, the song on his lips, the praise that flows out from his mouth show that God is still faithful. See it as he reflects upon his past, verses 5-6, “Upon you I have leaned from before my birth; you are he who took me from my mother's womb. My praise is continually of you.” See how his praise follows God's faithfulness? Even more clear, Verse 17, “O God, from my youth you have taught me, and I still proclaim your wondrous deeds.” See how his praise confirms God's continued faithfulness?Now look to the future and consider his enemies are saying, “that God has forsaken him.” Like, “You want to know how God really cares for his people? Well, he doesn't. When they get old, when they get weary, when they fall down, it's means God has left him. He is the kind of God who forsakes his people. Just look at this man.” Well, if they were right in that conclusion, and they ended up carrying out their plan of pursuing him and seizing him, what would you expect to hear from the Psalmist then? Nothing. No more words, no more praise, the blinking indicator of God's faithfulness, the sign of God's care – snuffed out!Is that what in fact we see in this Psalm? Is that what we in fact hear? Note the connection between God's faithfulness and his peoples' praise of him. It's here, starting in verse 20, that we see it most clearly, “You who have made me see many troubles and calamities will revive me again; from the depths of the earth you will bring me up again. You will increase my greatness and comfort me again. I will also praise you with the harp for your faithfulness, O my God; I will sing praises to you with the lyre, O Holy One of Israel. 23 My lips will shout for joy, when I sing praises to you; my soul also, which you have redeemed. 24 And my tongue will talk of your righteous help all the day long, for they have been put to shame and disappointed who sought to do me hurt.” See, you will revive me, and disappoint them. You will bring me up, and put them to shame. You will comfort me, and scorn them, and after you do so, then like the roar of thunder follows the flash of lightning so will my praise of you follow your rescue of me. You see it? The Psalmist is arguing, “Where's the evidence, where's the indicator that God cares for his people? Brother, sister, hear it in my song!And, brothers and sisters hear it in our song as well, for “What is sown is perishable; what is raised is imperishable. It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power. It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body.We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed. For this perishable body must put on the imperishable, and this mortal body must put on immortality. When the perishable puts on the imperishable, and the mortal puts on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written:“Death is swallowed up in victory.” “O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?”ApplicationYou know, a few days ago we were gathered with our community group in our living room, singing. And as it does every other Wednesday night, the sound of our sound spills out into the neighborhood. This last Wednesday, it was the sound of the hymn “Great Is Thy Faithfulness.” You got to wonder, what are my neighbors thinking when they hear, every other Wednesday night, 15, 20, 25 adults gathered together, singing? What do they think when these words fall upon their ear: “Great is thy faithfulness, O God my Father, there is no shadow of turning with Thee,” What do they think when they hear us sing those words? How about those who live within a few blocks of this building? Has a single Sunday morning gone by in the last two, three years that they have not heard 400, 500 voices together singing out, “Thou changest not, thy compassions, they fail not, as thou hast been, thou forever will be.” What do they think when they hear us sing those words?Oh God make it so that when they hear your people sing in homes, in churches, when they hear your people sing aloud of your righteousness and your faithfulness and your holiness, may it be that they can manage no other thought than, “They're right.” Their God is righteous. Their God is faithful. Their God is holy. Their God has not forsaken them, their God has not let them be put to shame, their God has brought them up from the depths, again! Their God cares for his people – I can hear it in their song.Hear the Song YourselfAnd, brothers and sisters, may the same be said of us when we come here, Sunday after Sunday,Following the shattering of a relationship we thought would never break, following the sudden and shocking loss of a job we were counting on always having, following the diagnosis we always feared, following the phone call we never wanted to receive, following the season of life we never wanted, never asked for, and don't see any way out of.May it be that when we come here, bearing those kinds of burdens, and we hear songs of God's praise begin to rise up from the mouths of those gathered round us, may it be that we too think – they're still right. Our God is still righteous. Our God is still faithful. Our God is still holy. He has not forsaken me, he will not let them be put to shame, he will pull me up from the depths, again!Yes, may we sing often of the goodness of our God. May we pray, along with the Psalmist, verse 18, “Lord do not forsake us until we proclaim your might to another generation, your power to all those to come.” Proclaim it my brothers and sisters. Sing of his righteousness for all to hear. The TableNow, part of our weekly proclamation of God's care for his people involves this table. Did you know that? Paul, in 1 Corinthians 11, quoting Jesus, says that “as often as we take of this bread, drink of this cup, we proclaim the Lord's death until he comes.” We proclaim that God didn't spare even his own Son, but rather gave him up for us all, and so – how will he not also with him graciously give us all things (Romans 8:31-32). We proclaim that God promised to send his Son, and that he was faithful to do it. And that this Son, will come again. And so, if you're here today and you've trusted in Jesus, then we invite you to take and eat with us. If you've not put your trust in Jesus, we ask that you'd let the elements pass, and we pray you would, in this moment, put your trust in the God who alone is righteous, and a refuge to which you can continually come.I'll invite the pastors to come, let us serve you.

I am the resurrection and the life—Jesus Christ, John 11. I. The Significance of the Resurrection of Jesus A. Unique among religions of the world; one religion based on the resurrection of its divine founder B. The resurrection in Jesus' teaching: he promised it several times C. Atonement requires resurrection Herein we see the organic connection between Christ's incarnation, death, and resurrection. God's raising Jesus from the dead is not only a ratification to us of the efficacy of Christ's atoning death; it is a necessary consequence of it. For by his substitutionary death Christ fully satisfied divine justice. The penalty of death having been fully paid, Christ can no more remain dead than a criminal who has fully served his sentence can remain imprisoned. Punishment cannot justly continue; justice demands his release. Thus, Christ's resurrection is both a necessary consequence and a ratification of his satisfaction of divine justice [Craig, William Lane. Atonement and the Death of Christ (p. 229). Baylor University Press. Kindle Edition.] II. Theism and the Resurrection A. Natural theology increases the probability of the resurrection B. Argument for God from science and philosophy. See Douglas Groothuis, Christian Apologetics, chapters 9-19 III. Are Miracles Credible? A. What is a biblical miracle? 1. Not a violation of natural law 2. Supplementation of nature by divine agency B. David Hume's argument against miracles: In-principle argument: irrational to believe in miracles 1. If it always more likely that a supposed miracles is really a misinterpreted natural event 2. Response a. General probability of miracles is low b. Conditional probability (given theism) is another matter; consider NT reliability and natural theology c. Miracles are not delusions of pre-scientific fools; they presuppose some knowledge of the natural workings of nature. Moreover, if there ever were men who did not know the laws of nature at all they would have no idea of a miracle and feel no particular interest in one if it were performed before them. Nothing can seem extraordinary until you have discovered what is ordinary—C. S. Lewis, Miracles. IV. Minimal Facts and Maximal Result: Resurrection A. The minimal facts method: find undisputed facts from which to argue for a biblical claim (such as the resurrection) B. Four minimal facts 1. Death by crucifixion; no possibility of swooning2. Burial in a known tomb 3. The empty tomb; a necessary, but not sufficient condition for the resurrection; women Jews and Romans would have had a vested interest in producing dead body of Jesus, but we have no record of it. 4. Postmortem appearances of Jesus a. In the Gospels, women see Jesus first; unexpected, given low status of women's testimony at that time b. Paul's early witness (I Cor. 15:3-8) C. Other well-established facts 1. Transformation of the disciples 2. The early worship of Jesus by monotheistic Jews (Larry Hurtado) 3. Circumstantial evidence (part of historical reasoning) a. Baptism presupposed resurrection (Romans 6:4-5). b. Lord's supper or Eucharist (1 Corinthians 11:23-26) V. Alternative Naturalistic Theories A. Need several different naturalistic theories to cover all the known facts. B. No good naturalistic explanations for four minimal facts. C. Disciples had neither the means nor the motive to steal the body. D. The Jewish establishment and Roman government would not take the body, leave the tomb empty and let the story of Jesus' resurrection become popular because they conspired to crucify Jesus. E. Hallucination theory 1. Too many appearances for hallucinations 2. Hallucinations are not group a phenomena. VI. Jesus Christ is Risen Indeed! A. 13 It is written: “I believed; therefore I have spoken.” Since we have that same spirit of faith, we also believe and therefore speak, 14 because we know that the one who raised the Lord Jesus from the dead will also raise us with Jesus and present us with you to himself. 15 All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God—2 Cor. 4:13-15. B. Therefore, my dear brothers and sisters, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain—I Cor. 15:58.
