“And they rose up the same hour, and returned Jerusalem… and they told what things were done in the way, and how He was known of them.” — Luke 24:33,35 When the two disciples had reached Emmaus, and were refreshing themselves at the evening meal, the mysterious stranger who had so enchanted them upon the […]

This sermon explores how the Old Testament Scriptures prophetically reveal the identity, suffering, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, as taught by Jesus himself to the disciples on the Emmaus road. By examining key passages like Psalm 110, Psalm 2, Deuteronomy 18, Psalm 22, Isaiah 53, and Daniel 7, the sermon demonstrates that Jesus is the promised King, Priest, and Prophet who suffered, died, and rose again according to God's divine plan. It emphasizes the importance of biblical literacy in understanding Christ's identity, validates God's promises through fulfilled prophecy, and calls listeners to respond with faith, obedience, and praise to the risen and exalted Savior.

May is mental health awareness month. Mental health is an important issue in sports and especially elite level soccer. As a chaplain, I believe that Christian faith can help with mental health challenges and struggles, but I think sometimes we don't understand or see the different stories and tools and resources that are needed or […]

A Sunday morning sermon by Pastor Brett Deal. After moving back to Kenya for my senior year, I was flying home for a break. Without a direct flight between the island and Nairobi, I stopped in Cameroon on my way. Landing in Douala, the port city close to Malabo, I heard from a friend that a well-known author was in Yaoundé leading a spiritual emphasis week for the group of Bible translators I'd lived with the year before. I'd recently devoured his book on God's missionary call for His people and wanted to meet with him, speak with him. My young mind wanted to see if talking with him might help me connect some dots still at odds with what he'd written. I changed my travel plans and jumped on a bus heading south. Although the event was already underway, I could at least catch the last day of his presentations. Halfway in the journey, however, the ancient and bent-up bus decided it had different plans. It broke down. And when I say it broke down, I don't mean it sputtered or had a momentary lapse. I mean it ceased to be a bus. It gave up the automotive ghost. We had to wait for another bus to come to our rescue. Hours later, now on a new bus, revving with vim and vigor, we continued on our way. I remember at last emerging from the tropical canopy grown over the highway revealing the red rolling hills of Yaoundé. I recognized the roads and quickly made my way to the church where the author was speaking. But because of the bus breakdown, I arrived during the last few minutes of his lectures. Crestfallen, I waited until most had left, hoping to say hello and be on my way. To my surprise, he made time for me. What began as a short greeting became a dialogue. We traded questions and theological perspectives. We moved beyond the surface of doctrinal etiquette into personal applications in our lives. We marveled together as Jesus revealed to us God's sovereignty in the midst of our humanity. We were two disciples on an African road to Emmaus receiving Christ's prophetic hope.

This week we examine the disciples' journey to Emmaus with the unrecognized Jesus. We will see that even when things seem darkest, the truth of God's word and the revelation of Jesus in our lives brings revelation, light, and life. Scripture: Luke 24:13-35

A Sunday sermon by Pastor Brett Deal. I boarded the little Cessna on the hot tarmac of the Yaoundé international airport. I had just received the grace of the customs and border patrol I surely didn't deserve. I'd been an illegal alien in Cameroon for several months, assuming—as most naïve teenagers are wont to do—the school would keep my papers in order. After a few hours, however, the man behind the desk forgave me. He wiped away my debt and stamped my passport, releasing me. He didn't even block me from renewing my visa to finish my junior year of high school. Remarkably, the plane waited for me. The other passengers waited patiently. The pilot watched the clock but refused to leave until the last possible minute. Once I was released, I joined them as the propellor kicked to life and the wheels began to roll. As everyone else, including the pilot, were more than ready to go, there was only one seat left: the co-pilot's chair. As the little plane took off, climbing into the sky, I gained a vantage point I'd never experienced before. I've flown in countless planes. I've even been in the cockpit of several planes over the years. But never had I faced the oncoming skies from the front row! The view before me wasn't a sideways glance oval. It was a panorama sweeping across my full field of vision! And that is where the trouble began. As we flew toward the clouds, the logical part of my brain said, “Nothing to worry about here. Clouds are just coalescing drops of water gliding around the atmosphere,” but my less logical side—the I've-watched-too-many-Wile-E-Coyote-cartoons side—was sounding off alarm bells! I asked the pilot through the headset if we should be concerned. He wasn't worried at all. He'd flown headlong into clouds before. I'll be honest. I heard him but I still struggled to really believe his testimony! I was like Cleopas on the road to Emmaus, having heard the witness of the women and the apostles, but still struggling to discern what it all meant. We've all been there. We'll all be there again. The question becomes: will we keep moving?

A Sunday morning sermon by Pastor Brett Deal. After a few weeks home, it was time to fly back to Cameroon. With a new visa in my passport and a new semester ahead, I was ready to get back to work. I also had a new lease on the days ahead of me. I didn't want to miss “why” I was in Yaoundé. We all have reasons. I realized I need to reshuffle mine. Some reasons we know. They're written in billboard sized letters. Other reasons we think we know, but they ultimately have little real purpose in our lives. They sound good but are written in invisible ink. And, of course, there are other reasons we are largely unaware of. They are the small print, hidden under a footnote, found only in an appendix. These reasons are small but can have a massive impact on how we live. Living in Yaoundé before my visa fiasco, I was just living day by day, school assignment by school assignment. I walked and taxied in and out of places without really being present. Knowing that I was in Cameroon for a reason, not just to finish eleventh grade, I wanted to live my faith intentionally with renewed vision. I began to see things that were too easily missed; like Lahadi. Lahadi was a guard at a gate. I greeted him every day as I passed by. He worked for the Bible translators I was living with, but he himself didn't know Jesus. As we talked—really talked—I wanted to share with him something in my life that'd been lost in the footnotes. I went and bought him a Bible as a gift. I started to learn a little Hausa. At first, it was just a handful of greetings, to show him how much I cared about him, that I would attempt to speak his language; but as we talked more about Jesus, I began searching for the meaningful words of faith so we could anchor this vision of the Messiah in Lahadi's heart language. Walking with Lahadi, I wanted Jesus to join our conversation. Friends, this is exactly what Jesus does! He meets us on our roads to Emmaus. He asks us questions, listens to our answers, and answers us from within His revelation. He speaks His heavenly truth in our earthly languages! He translates glimpses of His eternal glory into the red clay roads of our lives.  This week, take a walk with someone. Let's find Jesus on our way to Emmaus.

"Were not our hearts burning within us while He talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?" Judy share's this account of Jesus and the two on the road to Emmaus.

Daily Dose of Hope May 16, 2025 Day 5 of Week 7   Scripture – Mark 16:9-20   Prayer:  Heavenly Father, We come before you today in awe of your Word. Thank you for speaking to us through Scripture.  Help us commit to being grounded in your truth.  Help us make learning more about you a priority.  We get so distracted!  The world comes at us from all sides.  Lord, in these next few moments of silence, help us set aside our scattered thoughts and focus on you...In Your Name, Amen.   Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, a Deep Dive into the Gospels and Acts.  Today, we finish the book of Mark.  Keep in mind that the text we read today was added on much later than the original Gospel text.  As we talked about yesterday, some of the church fathers weren't thrilled with Mark's abrupt ending and added some additional verses to make things have a nice neat resolution.  Of course, real life doesn't have nice neat resolutions.  Neither does Scripture because it's very, very real.   The text for today has Jesus appearing to Mary Magdalene and then the disciples.  We can see that the author of these verses took text from other Gospels to write this.  He is essentially filling things in – a visit to Mary Magdalene, a visit to the two disciples on the road to Emmaus, and then a visit to the eleven.   There are quite a few issues with this text.  First, it says that Jesus rebuked the disciples for their lack of belief.  If we look at Luke 24, we find that Jesus appears to the disciples but does so with grace.  He shows them his scars, he ate with them, and he opened their minds so that they could understand Scripture.  But in this Mark text, Jesus seems almost angry with the disciples “stubborn” refusal to believe.  This is our first red flag.   And then things really get weird.  We begin to read about theological concepts that are unusual for Mark.  There seems to be a requirement of baptism for salvation – this isn't found anywhere else in the Bible.  Then, there is this statement about the ability to handle snakes and drink deadly poison; if done in the name of Jesus, then they won't be harmed.  Okay, that is terrible theology.  No where else the Bible does it tell believers that they are exempt from poison and dangerous snakes.  What's a bit crazy about this is that whole traditions have been created where snakes are handled in church – from one verse in a portion of text that was added well after the original Gospel was written.  The justification for snake-handling is that it is supposed to be a demonstration of faith.  Y'all, good Biblical interpretation is SO critical!   The last portion of the text is pretty straightforward and consistent with other Gospels.  Jesus ascends to heaven and sits at God's right hand.  He empowers the disciples to perform signs in his name.    Let's talk a little about solid Biblical interpretation.  The Bible is God's Word, it's authoritative.  It provides a framework for our life and whole worldview.  At the same time, it needs interpretation.  We can't simply pluck out a verse and drop it into our lives without looking at the author's intent, the context, and the original audience.  Plus, we have to recognize that we, as 21st century believers, bring a lot of our own presuppositions to the Scripture.  Whether we realize it or not, we bring our own learned ideas and cultural norms to the text when we read.    The Bible is the primary way that God has chosen to reveal himself to us.  I like to call it the inexhaustible word of God.  It's critical.  Hebrews 4:12 states, For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. The miracle of Scripture is that we can read it over and over again and God can keep teaching us, keep revealing new things to us.  Jesus is revealed to us on the pages of Scripture.   Reading the Bible regularly is the number one way we grow in our faith.  Why is that? It's not simply a book; rather, it's a unique collection of ancient documents, diverse in style and written for different purposes, but all revealing some piece about the nature of God. The more we read, the more we consume of God's Word, the more things begin to fall into place for us.  The fascinating thing about the Bible is that it arose in vastly difference historical settings, written to different audiences, over thousands of years.  Yet, it tells one continuous story.  It's absolutely amazing.  But a serious reading and understanding of the Bible requires wrestling with the context, the purpose of the text, the symbols, and the historical and literary setting. But it also means relying on the power of the Holy Spirit to guide our study and to make the Scripture come alive for us today.   In the case of Mark, we need to look at today's text as interesting but not authoritative.  These verses weren't in the oldest texts.  It appears that new concepts were added, things that don't seem to add up.  They simply don't sound like Mark.  While we need to read this and understand it, it isn't something I would ever preach from the pulpit.  Basically, we need to be careful here.  There won't be any snake-handling at New Hope if any of you were worried.    Psalm 119:105-106, Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path. I have taken an oath and confirmed it,  that I will follow your righteous laws.   We'll chat again on Monday.   Blessings, Pastor Vicki    

If Jesus stood in front of us in white robes, it wouldn't make us believe in Him. Faith doesn't come by seeing. Rather, it is a choice we make. It has to do with our character. In moments when we are caught off-guard, what we really believe comes out of our mouths and shows on our face. We are going to see this fact occur with two disciples who are walking on the road to Emmaus. These disciples have a remarkable encounter with the risen Jesus. We are going to watch their level of faith get tested.

Link to the theme for the next 5 weeksLuke 24:13 Now that same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem. 14 They were talking with each other about everything that had happened. 15 As they talked and discussed these things with each other, Jesus himself came up and walked along with them; 16 but they were kept from recognizing him.17 He asked them, “What are you discussing together as you walk along?” They stood still, their faces downcast. 18 One of them, named Cleopas, asked him, “Are you the only one visiting Jerusalem who does not know the things that have happened there in these days?” 19 “What things?” he asked.“About Jesus of Nazareth,” they replied. “He was a prophet, powerful in word and deed before God and all the people. 20 The chief priests and our rulers handed him over to be sentenced to death, and they crucified him; 21 but we had hoped that he was the one who was going to redeem Israel. And what is more, it is the third day since all this took place. 22 In addition, some of our women amazed us. They went to the tomb early this morning 23 but didn't find his body. They came and told us that they had seen a vision of angels, who said he was alive. 24 Then some of our companions went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said, but they did not see Jesus.”25 He said to them, “How foolish you are, and how slow to believe all that the prophets have spoken! 26 Did not the Messiah have to suffer these things and then enter his glory?” 27 And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself.28 As they approached the village to which they were going, Jesus continued on as if he were going farther. 29 But they urged him strongly, “Stay with us, for it is nearly evening; the day is almost over.” So he went in to stay with them.30 When he was at the table with them, he took bread, gave thanks, broke it and began to give it to them. 31 Then their eyes were opened and they recognized him, and he disappeared from their sight. 32 They asked each other, “Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?”33 They got up and returned at once to Jerusalem. There they found the Eleven and those with them, assembled together 34 and saying, “It is true! The Lord has risen and has appeared to Simon.” 35 Then the two told what had happened on the way, and how Jesus was recognized by them when he broke the bread.

May is usually carries an emphasis on mental health. Mental health is a massive issue in professional sports, especially soccer. So, as a chaplain, I have been asking, “how can we integrate more of our Christian faith so that it helps with our mental health?” I think certain texts in the Bible stand out to […]

In Week 2 of Ignite, we take a closer look at what happens when passion for God begins to fade. From the warning to the church in Ephesus, to Lydia's powerful response to the gospel, to the burning hearts of the disciples on the Emmaus road—we're reminded that Jesus is always calling us back to Himself.

The Road From Emmaus by Gathering Place Church

Jason Miller - The resurrection stories in the New Testament offer a particular vision of hope, and they suggest some possibilities for how we may find our way to that same hope. For five weeks after Easter, we're exploring those possibilities. This week, we explore the strange, beautiful story of two men walking from Jerusalem to Emmaus, and the hope that Christ might meet us even as we walk away.  What's Happening Save the date for our SBCC Spring Picnic happening on June 1 from 11a-1p at Leeper Park.

In today's episode, I delve into a profound passage from the Gospel of Luke, recounting the extraordinary moments following the resurrection of Christ when He appeared to His disciples. I begin by illustrating the scene where two individuals from Emmaus share their extraordinary encounter with the risen Jesus, only for Him to suddenly be among the gathered disciples, offering peace amidst their fear and doubt. It's a compelling reminder of the intense emotions the disciples experienced — shock, disbelief, and joy — as they grappled with the reality of the resurrection. As I reflect on the narrative, I emphasize the gentleness of Jesus in addressing the disciples' fears. He kindly invites them to recognize that He is not a ghost, inviting them to touch His hands and feet and even sharing food with them. This act of sharing a meal serves as a powerful symbol of connection and community, reinforcing the notion that Christ desires to be intimately present in our lives — not merely as a distant teacher, but as a close, loving companion. I address the need for believers to confront their doubts and to allow the truths of scripture to penetrate their hearts deeply over time.Throughout our discussion, I draw parallels between the experiences of the disciples and the struggles we face with doubt. I encourage listeners to challenge their doubts, posing the poignant idea of "doubting our doubts." By engaging in open dialogues within community, we can balance our skepticism with the comforting truths of Scripture, allowing the Holy Spirit to guide us toward understanding and clarity. Moreover, I highlight the vital importance of Christ's nearness. Jesus does not merely acknowledge the disciples' disbelief but draws closer to them, filling them with joy and wonder. I explore the transformational effect of being in His presence, reinforcing that this nearness is not just about intellectual understanding but a deeply relational experience. I reflect on the profound joy that comes from knowing Christ intimately, even as we navigate our mixed emotions.As the narrative continues, I discuss how Jesus reminds His disciples of the fulfillment of scripture — showing them how their current experience aligns with the prophecies concerning the Messiah. I emphasize that it is not only about recognizing scriptural truths but that God Himself opens our minds to truly grasp the depth of these revelations. In sharing the responsibility of being witnesses to what they have seen and experienced, I encourage listeners to consider their own call to share their testimonies of faith in a world that desperately needs hope.Finally, I convey a message of hope that transcends our present struggles. Christ's resurrection does not promise us an escape from pain but reveals that He is redeeming our suffering and ultimately brings wholeness and renewal. I share the inspiring testimony of Johnny Erickson Tada, whose faith exemplifies this hope, as I connect it back to the ultimate promise of renewal that awaits all believers. As I wrap up, I lead a heartfelt prayer, asking the Lord to ignite our hearts with passion for Him, encouraging both believers and seekers to embrace this pursuit of a deeper relationship with the risen Christ.

The sermon reflects on the story of the road to Emmaus, emphasizing the transformative power of radical hospitality and the recognition of Jesus in unexpected moments. ​ It highlights how Cleopas and another traveler, despite their grief, invited a stranger (Jesus) into their home, embodying the ancient Jewish value of welcoming strangers. ​ Through the breaking of bread, their eyes were opened, shifting from fear to joy, symbolizing new creation and life through Christ. ​ The message challenges Christians to embrace empathy, generosity, and kindness, countering the self-centeredness of modern culture. ​ It calls for a renewed perspective, urging believers to see the world through Jesus' eyes, filled with grace and possibility, and to extend radical hospitality to others. ​ The sermon concludes with a prayer for spiritual awakening and the courage to follow Jesus into a life of hope and transformation.

Scripture: Luke 24:28-35 Series: Emerge Anew Despite the darkness of their grief, two disciples walking along the road to Emmaus see the light of the resurrection when Jesus enters their conversations, reveals a bit of light, and then obliterates their darkness in the breaking of bread. As we go through life and experience our own darkness, Jesus also meets us and challenges us to shed light on others. Connect with the Canton UMC!

After his resurrection, Jesus walked with two other from Jerusalem to Emmaus and "starting with Moses and the prophets, he interpreted to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself." (Luke 24:27). What did he say to them that day? How can we see those same things? In this new series, Cole and Terry will discuss finding Jesus in each book of the Old Testament. Look for the first episode this Friday. 

I have podcasted before on The Emmaus Road as a biblical text that helps us to make sense of grief, but as Luke 24:13-35 is one of my favorite texts, it has grown on me a bit more with some new and different insights and I wanted to revisit it again during this month of […]

Speaker: Rustin Smith --- A model for discipleship on the road to Emmaus.

Today, Pastor Nick Person breaks down the conversation the 2 disciples have with Jesus on the road to Emmaus, in Luke 24. There are some implications that should take place in our life, because the grave is empty. “He does not come into your life to take part, but to take over!”  Watch this sermon, ready to make the necessary changes, because of the No Body Implications!

In this episode, I have the privilege of hosting Phil Yang, the lead pastor of Grace Life Church, who brings a powerful message titled “Encountering and Responding to God.” Our conversation delves deep into the theme of recognizing God's presence in our everyday lives and how we are called to not only encounter Him but also respond to His grace and guidance.We start by exploring the biblical passage from Luke 24:13-34, where two followers of Jesus are on their way to Emmaus following His crucifixion. In an unexpected turn, Jesus comes alongside them, though they fail to recognize Him initially. This sets the stage for our discussion on the idea that opportunities to encounter God can arise during the most ordinary moments of our lives. Phil emphasizes that God often meets us not just within the confines of a church but in our daily routines, urging us to cultivate a mindset that remains open to these divine encounters.Phil reflects on the significance of these moments of awakening, pointing out that our expectations of God can shape how we recognize Him in our lives. He challenges us to consider how our biases or preconceived notions might blind us to His movements. Throughout the episode, he encourages listeners to be mindful and aware, illustrating that Jesus engages with us even when we might be unaware of His presence. As we continue, Phil unpacks the transformative nature of a personal encounter with God. He invites us to not just listen to testimonies from others but to seek our unique experiences with the divine. Citing his own journey of faith, he illustrates how a significant relationship with God involves more than just hearing—but also responding to what we learn and feel within that relationship.With practical insights, Phil shares how responding to God often requires us to linger in His presence, allowing space for reflection and openness. He underscores the importance of these moments in our busy lives, proposing that slowing down and inviting God in can foster a deeper understanding of Him. Together, we discuss the fears and hesitations that can accompany our desire to respond faithfully to God's call, but also the clarity and purpose that can emerge from such a commitment.Finally, Phil challenges us to not merely be passive recipients of God's word but to actively engage in a life of faith. He encourages us to pursue our relationship with God with the same fervor as we might in a cherished personal relationship. The episode concludes with a heartfelt invitation to prayer and reflection, asking listeners to consider their own readiness to respond to God as He calls us forward in faith.Through thoughtful storytelling and deep biblical insight, Phil Yang inspires us to recognize God's movement in our lives while prompting us to take action, thereby enriching our spiritual journeys.

Emmaus -Next Level Pt.2 Pastor Lisa 05/04/25

Sermon by Brandon Clements on May 4, 2025.Key scripture: Luke 24:13–35What if the Savior you're hoping for isn't the one you expected... but is actually far better? This week, we walk the road to Emmaus and discover how Jesus meets us even in our confusion.

Have you heard of anybody deconstructing their faith? This has been a hot topic in recent years. It is not as new as some would have us believe. After Jesus' crucifixion, two of his disciples decided to defect. They were heading home to Emmaus. Incognito, Jesus joined them and asked about their sorrow. Then he taught them about himself from the scriptures. He saw them, spoke to them, and stayed with them when they arrived. When he revealed himself to them, they remembered how his teaching about himself ignited their hearts. It could happen to us!  Message based on Luke 24:17-27.Quotes:Robert Browning:. . . and I find it hard to be aChristian as I said!Still every now and then my headRaised glad, sinks mournful--  all grows drearSpite of the sunshine . . . But Easter day breaks!  but Christ rises!  Mercy every wayIs infinite --  and who can say?Duane Brooks: Jesus opened the tomb, opened the scriptures, opened their eyes to see him, and opened their minds to believe.  What did Jesus say?  What is Jesus saying to us today?Lewis Smedes: Hope is to our spirits what oxygen is to our lungs. Your spirit dies when hope dies. They may not bury you for a while, but without hope you're already dead.Dr. Carl F. H. Henry: Jesus planted the only durable rumor of hope amid the widespread despair of a hopeless world.John Claypool: Every exit is an entrance.Duane Brooks: When sadness stops us in our tracks, we may listen for his voice and know that he will come looking for us because we are his own. Duane Brooks: Even if we walk away, Jesus is seeking us; he will find us. Jack MacGorman: The Bible has always been for me a meeting place with God. Eugene Peterson: You don't live in a mechanistic world ruled by necessity; you don't live in a random world ruled by chance; you live in a world ruled by the God of Exodus and Easter. He will do things in you that neither you nor your friends would have supposed possible.Eugene Peterson: The most important question isn't “What does this mean,” but “What can I obey?” Simple obedience will open up our lives to a text more quickly than any number of Bible studies, dictionaries, and concordances.Fleming Rutledge: Any manifestation that reveals Jesus' true identity occurs because the power of God is at work upon the eyes, ears, and hearts of the recipients.John Stott: We live and die. But Christ died and lived!  Mike Yaconelli, in his book Dangerous Wonder: The Christian life is more than just finding Jesus; it is following Jesus.To discover more messages of hope go to tallowood.org/sermons/.Follow us on Instagram, X, and YouTube @tallowoodbc.Follow us on FaceBook @tallowoodbaptist

In this message, Youth Minister Cameron Cooper explores the peace, restoration, and hope that became available to believers after the resurrection of Jesus. Preaching from Luke 24 and Philippians 4, he emphasizes that peace is not something stolen from us—it's often something we surrender. Cameron illustrates how Jesus, after rising from the dead, pursued his followers in their doubt and distance, offering peace and reminding them of truth. He focuses on the story of the disciples on the road to Emmaus and Peter's restoration, showing how Jesus lovingly meets us in our brokenness and calls us back to purpose.

When avoiding venal sin, is okay to feel annoyance and then offer it up? Should we not be cremated if God will reunite us with our bodies eventually? Can you define the difference between prayer and worship? Can I pray for my NHL team to win?

Statius has sung his (first!) hymn of praise to Virgil without knowing that the old poet is right in front of him. Dante the pilgrim is caught between them in this most human episode with his master, Virgil, demanding silence and his new friend, Statius, wanting to know why the pilgrim is smiling.Which means Dante is also caught on his emotions which seem to be overriding his will . . . in a canto about the will's primacy.Join me, Mark Scarbrough, for the very human ending to his surprising and comedic canto in PURGATORIO.If you'd like to help out with the many fees associated with this podcast, for streaming, hosting, editing, and more, please consider a one-time donation or a very small monthly stipend, using this PayPal link right here.Here are the segments for this episode of WALKING WITH DANTE:[02:25] My English translation of the passage.

The days between the resurrection and the Day of Pentecost are not what any of Jesus's followers expected. There was disappointment. Expectations about Jesus were not met. Even though Jesus said what he was going to do, the disciples did not keep an open mind for HOW Jesus would do what he said. God will ALWAYS do what He says He will do, but according to HIS plans, not ours!    Monologue: Autumn and her producer, Mike, catch up and connect on what it's like to raise boys in the home.    Message: Autumn dissects the mindsets of the disciples on the road to Emmaus and the days between Jesus's resurrection and the Day of Pentecost.   Testimony: A listener shares a prophetic dream from God after tragic losses, overcoming alcoholism, and struggling with infertility.    Bible References: Luke 24:10-36   Links from the show BOOKS: www.autumnmiles.com/resources SPEAKING: www.autumnmiles.com/speaking MERCH: autumnmiles.square.site   Sponsors: NuWell Online Christian Counseling https://nuwellonline.com/ Purpose Jewelry https://www.purposejewelry.org/ PROMO CODE: AUTUMN2024   If you have a suggestion for the ministry, a question for Autumn, a testimony to share, or other inquiry for the Autumn Miles Ministries, click here and fill out the form, or send us an email at hello@autumnmiles.com    Join us on social media!

In this message, we follow two disoriented disciples on the road to Emmaus and discover how a misunderstood mission can cause us to overlook the Messiah standing right in front of us.
