And then what?   Have you ever taken a moment in your Easter celebrations to consider the answer to this question… to look to see what happens next in Scripture AFTER we read that the tomb was empty?   When we do, what we find, is another 40 days of Jesus here on Earth. Annnndddd we also find a whole lot of post-Resurrection moments that could only be described as this….   Mundane.   Now that's definitely not a word any of us would have EVER thought could be associated with Easter, right?! BUT, in today's episode, we'll learn how the seemingly mundane post-Resurrection appearances of Jesus were actually not that at all … and yes… you heard that right… Our Savior, who defeated death and the grave, did not choose fireworks or parades but instead used ordinary interactions with people to announce His Resurrection.   Honestly, this is especially incredible as we consider the fact that this message Jesus entrusted to nobodies somehow made it to our ears and hearts 2,000 years later. Amazing.   Be sure to listen in for LOTS of talk about 40 days… and day 41 even. All of this and so much more… Let's be sure we don't rush through this week without taking a moment to fix our eyes not only on the Resurrection but also all those appearances Jesus made to many before ascending to heaven… on day 41. Wishing all of you the happiest of Easters as you celebrate that our Jesus is Risen… He is Risen Indeed OOBT friends!   For the full episode show notes, please go to https://mfahring.com/easter-jesus-on-the-road-to-emmaus/

JESUS AND THE CONDEMNED (THE DEVIL)Easter Villains Meet Easter's Victor – Part 4Pastor Keith StewartApril 9, 2023 | EasterJoin us this Easter for what is sure to be an unforgettable message. Throughout this series, we've been taken back to the days and weeks leading up to Christ's death by crucifixion. There is an undeniable and menacing darkness that builds in the story until it reaches its consummation in the cross. Yet when all hope seems gone and the very light of the Son of God has been extinguished, God does what we least expect and brings light from darkness, hope from despair, life from death, and victory from defeat. Come discover why the Easter message brings light and life into your darkest night.SERIES: EASTER'S VILLAINS MEET EASTER'S VICTORIt's easy to assume that good guys have the only lessons we need to learn. But that's not even remotely true. There are plenty of things to learn from the bad guys as well. On a basic level, villains often propel the story forward and provide contrast to the hero. Honestly, stories can't exist without them. Typically, the worse the bad guy, the greater the triumph of the good guy. This is especially true when it comes to the Easter story. As the salvation story reaches its climax, the villains multiply and bring their collective power against the Son of God. But far from a message of despair and hopelessness, Easter's Victor soars above the conflict to bring light and salvation to all who seek it.DISCUSSION QUESTIONS1. Pastor Keith began today's message by exploring different explanations put forth as to why Satan would be so intent on killing Christ despite the fact that in killing Christ he was killing his own power and influence. What are your thoughts as to why Satan went through with his diabolical plan?2. In the message, Pastor Keith highlighted that God didn't want to merely DESTROY Satan, He needed to REFUTE Satan. We know that Satan's accusation began with God even before he ever leveled an accusation toward us. How did the cross refute Satan's lies about God? How many people have you met that still believe lies about God? What have they said and how would you answer them?3. Based on the messages and other Scriptures you know, how has what Christ accomplished on the cross stripped the devil of his power? What specifically can he no longer do against the people of God? How does this affect your view of the evil one? How will you respond differently in light of this?4. Talk or write about the difference between thinking of the Christian life as “Jesus in me” versus “my life in Christ”.5. What have been your biggest learnings throughout this entire series? How has it changed the way you see Easter or the villains of Scripture? In what ways has your spiritual life been enhanced? How have you been challenged to dig deeper into other familiar stories of the Bible?https://www.springcreekchurch.org/ #realspringcreekchurch #easter #villains #darkness #betrayal #conflict #devil #satan #theenemy #Jesus #victor #love #redemption #hope #encouragement #thecross

JESUS AND THE CONFLICTED (PONTIUS PILATE)Easter Villains Meet Easter's Victor – Part 3Senior Pastor Keith StewartApril 2, 2023As we inch nearer to the cross, the villains surrounding Christ unite in their intent to kill the Son of God. Only one man now stands in their way - the Roman governor who must authorize and ratify their decision to execute Christ. Pontius Pilate is known as a ruthless Prefect of Rome with no love for the Jewish people he governs. This will not be an easy sell. Join us this weekend as we dive into the story of Pilate and what it has to say to us about Who Jesus is and why He came. SERIES: EASTER'S VILLAINS MEET EASTER'S VICTORThere are plenty of things to learn from the bad guys. In the Easter story, the villains multiply & bring their collective power against the Son of God. But far from a message of despair & hopelessness, Easter's Victor soars above the conflict to bring light & salvation to all who seek it.DISCUSSION QUESTIONS1. Pastor Keith compared the entry of Pilate and his army into the city during Passover with that of Jesus Christ on the donkey. The contrast could not be more stark. Yet in this bit of prophetic theater, Jesus is making a strong statement about the nature of His kingdom. Why do you think people are so impressed by overt displays of power and strength? Why does Christ (Whom we know is God in human flesh) not choose that same path even though His own power is greater than all the armies of this world? How does Christ's example affect your own attitude and example as a believer?2. Looking at the trials of Christ both at the hands of the Jewish people and the Roman authorities, there is no question that there is an organized, intentional effort on the part of the Jewish leaders to see Christ put to death. At the same time, given the reality that the power of capital punishment was stripped from the Jews during this time of Roman occupation, apart from Rome's approval, Jesus would have never been put to death. Pilate had to give his approval to Christ's death – which he did even though he tried to absolve himself of responsibility by washing his hands. In your mind, are the Jewish leaders guilty of Christ's death, or is Pilate, or are both the Romans and the Jews responsible? Explain your answer.3. We don't know much about Claudia Procula, Pilate's wife, based on the single verse that describes her attempted intervention in this mockery of justice. We see a woman who was discerning, possibly even spiritually open because of listening to a dream that  God directed and even more than willing to act on that knowledge. This is a big theme in the gospels – women who are spiritually discerning and act on what knowledge or information they have. Can you name any other women in the gospels who are singled out for their unique contributions or faith? What does the example of Claudia say to people who assert that God doesn't speak to anyone besides His own children?4. Barabbas or Jesus? It seems like a no-brainer, right? Yet the people chose Barabbas over Christ. Why is that? What does that say about people? In what ways are we like them in choosing Barabbas-like people, strong men, tough talkers, those who do whatever it takes to advance their cause?5. Dying in the place of a truly underserving man like Barabbas, Jesus makes one of the powerful statements about the nature of why He came and Who he came to save - He loved us and died for us at our worst. If you're a Christ follower, how has Jesus' unconditional love changed you? What does it mean to be accepted at our worst? How has that made you into a different sort of person? How does that impact the way you see others?https://www.springcreekchurch.org/ #realspringcreekchurch #easter #villains #darkness #betrayal #conflict #PontiusPilate #Jesus #victor #religion #hate #love #redemption #hope #encouragement

JESUS AND THE BETRAYER (Judas Iscariot)Easter Villains meet Easter's Victor - Part 2Springcreek Church | Senior Pastor Keith StewartMarch 26, 2023Few things will put you in a darker place than experiencing betrayal. As the Easter story unfolds, the darkness grows deeper when one of the trusted twelve betrays Jesus into the enemy's hands. Learn from Judas and still find hope in this story.SERIES: EASTER'S VILLAINS MEET EASTER'S VICTORThere are plenty of things to learn from the bad guys. In the Easter story, the villains multiply & bring their collective power against the Son of God. But far from a message of despair & hopelessness, Easter's Victor soars above the conflict to bring light & salvation to all who seek it.DISCUSSION QUESTIONS1. As Stephen Covey said, “Trust is the glue of life.” It's the foundation of all healthy relationships. Have you ever had your trust violated? What happened? How did it affect you? Have you healed from that experience and if not, what scars remain?2. What made Judas' betrayal so stinging was how implicitly he was trusted by all the others. He had a good name, an excellent reputation, and the full confidence of the disciples as evidenced by them putting him in charge of the group's finances. Even when Jesus explicitly singles out Judas as the betrayer and Judas exits the feast, the others only impute good motives to his departure and do not suspect Judas at all. In light of that, what do you think of efforts throughout history to paint Judas as villainous, all bad, evil through and through? Why do we do this with those who have done awful things? What does this say about us? 3. Shame is a reality all of us have had to deal with in our lives. They say, guilt is a doing word and shame is a being word, meaning, I feel guilt over the things I've done, but when I do bad things, shame makes me feel like a bad person. Whenever we feel shame, the accompanying messages of shame distort the truth. Pastor Keith mentioned several of them.•  There is never a way back•  My sin is too great•  I have to atone for my sinsThink about your own self-talk when you have messed up. Do you fall prey to any of shame's distortions? Based on what Pastor Keith shared in the message, what is the answer to shame's distorted messages? How will you apply these truths in the future?4. One of the most common ways people deal with shame is through self-punishment. This is an attempt to self-atone, to make ourselves suffer for the wrongs we've done. A.W. Tozer called it, “…the perpetual penance of regret.” How have you seen this played out in your own life or that of others?5. Take some time as a group to compare Peter's denial with Judas' betrayal. How were they similar? How were they different?6. On the day of atonement, there were two goats brought before the High Priest. One goat was slaughtered to pay the price for the sins of the people and the other symbolically had the sins of the people laid on it and it was abandoned to the wilderness to die. In a very real sense, Christ was the fulfillment of both types of sacrifice – the One Whose blood was shed to pay the price for our sins and the One upon Whom our sins were laid as He was led outside the city to be abandoned on a hill called Calvary. This means Jesus not only carried our sin but also carried the consequence of our sin which is shame. Both sin and shame met their match in Christ and He died so we could be freed from both. There's no need to carry your shame or self-punish for your misdeeds. Jesus died so you wouldn't need to do that ever again. Take some time to offer your thanks to Christ for all that He has done to remedy sin and shame in your life.https://www.springcreekchurch.org/ #realspringcreekchurch #easter #villains #darkness #betrayal #Jesus #Judas #victor  #redemption

JESUS AND THE BELLIGERENT (RELIGIOUS LEADERS)Easter Villains meet Easter's Victor - Part 1Springcreek Church | Senior Pastor Keith StewartMarch 19, 2023There is no hate quite like religious hate. Jesus knew all too well what it meant to be targeted by religious extremists. This message exposes the truth. Discover how even the greatest darkness could not extinguish God's purpose in Jesus Christ.SERIES: EASTER'S VILLAINS MEET EASTER'S VICTORIt's easy to assume that good guys have the only lessons we need to learn. But that's not even remotely true. There are plenty of things to learn from the bad guys as well. On a basic level, villains often propel the story forward and provide contrast to the hero. Honestly, stories can't exist without them. Typically, the worse the bad guy, the greater the triumph of the good guy. This is especially true when it comes to the Easter story. As the salvation story reaches its climax, the villains multiply and bring their collective power against the Son of God. But far from a message of despair and hopelessness, Easter's Victor soars above the conflict to bring light and salvation to all who seek it.DISCUSSION QUESTIONS1. Jesus included the excluded and it infuriated the Pharisees who saw this as a violation of the purification laws. What other examples are you aware of in the Gospels where Jesus included the excluded? What do you love about the story you cited as an example? In what ways have you personally made attempts to include the excluded? What has been your experience? What would your response be to those who misunderstand or judge you for the company you keep?2. Though we may not deal with the level of judgmentalism regarding Sabbath law observe that Jesus did, even today, there are those who have their one rule that determines whether someone is in or out in their book. Have you ever met someone like this? What did they consider as their one all-important rule? How would you respond to a judgmental Christian?3. What the Bible lays out in terms of opposition to Christ is a process of intensification and escalation. It begins by questioning the company He keeps. This puts Him on the outs with them. Then they begin policing His every move in an attempt to catch Him breaking more serious laws. Once He violates their idea of sabbath-keeping, they feel justified in regarding Him as a false teacher and a threat. Then once Jesus exposes the corruption in the entire temple system of exploitation of the poor worship goers, they become convinced that Jesus must die. It's a dangerous pathway that begins as we judge and paint others as the enemy. Maybe this is why Jesus taught us that hate is the moral equivalent of murder because we've already killed someone in our heart. Though it's easy to judge others for doing this, even we ourselves can be guilty of dehumanizing others, painting them as the embodiment of their worst mistakes, and feeling justified in treating them poorly. How do we interrupt this downward, negative spiral? Have you ever had to reverse course because you found yourself going down this path about someone who hurt you?4. Jesus took on the exploitation of the poor that was happening at the Temple in Jerusalem – effectively shutting down on one of the busiest and most important days of the year. Of course, the religious leaders took this very personally and seriously. But Jesus' anger was fully justified and appropriate. Anger is not the opposite of love – apathy and indifference are the opposite of love. Have you ever known or experienced an injustice that provoked you to anger and action? What was it? What did you do? What happened as a result?https://www.springcreekchurch.org/ #realspringcreekchurch #easter #villains #darkness #Jesus #victor #religion #hate #love #redemption #hope #encouragement
