Can the resurrection stand up to scrutiny? What evidence supports the resurrection? And what does Jesus's resurrection mean for our future? In today's episode, Keith shares how Luke 24:1–12 points to the historical reality of the empty tomb and why the resurrection is the foundation of Christian hope. Read the Bible with us!

In this message from Matthew 15:29–16:4, Pastor Karl examines two very different groups of people who come to Jesus — and what their approach reveals about how we receive grace.The first group comes from the Decapolis, a Gentile region with no religious standing or covenant claim. They bring broken bodies, unspoken needs, and nothing to offer — and Jesus meets them with compassion, healing, and even provision they didn't know to ask for. The second group, the Pharisees and Sadducees, arrives with suspicion and a demand for proof — and Jesus refuses to perform for them.The contrast surfaces a powerful truth: Jesus has endless compassion for those who come to him needy, but no obligation to satisfy those who come feeling entitled. Unworthiness isn't a disqualification for grace — it's the prerequisite for it.Pastor Karl unpacks why the disciples hesitated to feed the 4,000 (it wasn't that they forgot what Jesus could do — it was that they questioned who he'd do it for), what it really means to "fall from grace," and why the cross is the only reliable lens through which to interpret God's love. When we bring our "not enough" to Jesus, we find that inadequacy is exactly the raw material he's looking for.Watch all our sermons on our youtube channel "Flipside Christian Church"Join us in person 8:00am, 9:30am & 11:00am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm

At the core of Christianity is the resurrected Christ. This message focuses on the resurrection of Christ as told in the Gospel of Mark and it's curiously short ending. Women in that day were not considered adequate witnesses and yet Mary Magdalene and other women were the first eyewitnesses to the empty tomb. Their report does not suggest a conspiracy to lie but an honest telling of what they saw.

If the Resurrection of Christ really happened, it is the most important event in history. Those who are skeptical and think there are too many discrepancies in the accounts should take a closer look. There are common denominators to all of the accounts and many witnesses in the gospel records. Each writer's focus is different, so the differences in the details are not as inconsistent as they first seem.

On this Pentecost Sunday, we are going to focus on the gift of the Holy Spirit. What does it mean that God's love has been "poured out" into our hearts?
The life of Jesus depicted in the Gospels is a deep resource for the Christian life. So is the death and resurrection of Jesus. But how many of us are drawing upon the ascension of Jesus on a daily basis? One scholar calls the ascension of Jesus our hidden resource. Let's explore how this Sunday.
Summary: When darkness feels like your only friend, pray to the Lord in faith and wait for the dawn in hope because Jesus has risen from the dead. The Darkness You Feel Is Real (vv. 3–9, 15–18) The Light You Seek Is in the Lord (vv. 1–2, 9, 13) The Place Your Darkness Turns to Light Is the Empty Tomb
Exploring our intellectual barriers to belief in the bodily resurrection of Jesus.
In Episode 129 of 2 Minute Disciple, host Nick Oyler leads a contemplative devotional through Matthew 12:38–40 — the moment the Pharisees demand yet another sign from Jesus after witnessing miracle after miracle. Jesus refuses — and points to the only sign that will ever truly matter: three days in the earth, and then resurrection.
JOHN 20:1-18 - THE EMPTY TOMB - BRIAN SUMNER - 2025JOHN 20:1-18 "Now the first day of the week Mary Magdalene went to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and saw that the stone had been taken away from the tomb. 2 Then she ran and came to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and said to them, “They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid Him.”3 Peter therefore went out, and the other disciple, and were going to the tomb. 4 So they both ran together, and the other disciple outran Peter and came to the tomb first. 5 And he, stooping down and looking in, saw the linen cloths lying there; yet he did not go in. 6 Then Simon Peter came, following him, and went into the tomb; and he saw the linen cloths lying there, 7 and the handkerchief that had been around His head, not lying with the linen cloths, but folded together in a place by itself. 8 Then the other disciple, who came to the tomb first, went in also; and he saw and believed. 9 For as yet they did not know the Scripture, that He must rise again from the dead. 10 Then the disciples went away again to their own homes.Mary Magdalene Sees the Risen Lord11 But Mary stood outside by the tomb weeping, and as she wept she stooped down and looked into the tomb. 12 And she saw two angels in white sitting, one at the head and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain. 13 Then they said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping?”She said to them, “Because they have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid Him.”14 Now when she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, and did not know that it was Jesus. 15 Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?”She, supposing Him to be the gardener, said to Him, “Sir, if You have carried Him away, tell me where You have laid Him, and I will take Him away.”16 Jesus said to her, “Mary!”She turned and said to Him, “Rabboni!” (which is to say, Teacher).17 Jesus said to her, “Do not cling to Me, for I have not yet ascended to My Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, ‘I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God.' ”18 Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that He had spoken these things to her."To support this channel and partner with Brian in Ministryhttps://www.briansumner.net/support/For more on Brianhttp://www.briansumner.nethttps://www.instagram.com/BRIANSUMNER/https://www.facebook.com/BRIANSUMNEROFFICIALTo listen to Brians Podcast, click below.https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...Purchase Brians Marriage book at https://www.amazon.com/Never-Fails-Da...Brian is a full time "Urban Missionary" both locally and internationally with a focus on MISSIONS - MARRIAGES - MINISTRY.

When we are desperate for change we so quickly run to "religion" (our human efforts at reaching the divine and changing our behavior). It gives us an illusion of control. And in some cases, when our religion is really hard, it provides a satisfying sense of accomplishment, not to mention attention and praise from others. The book of Colossians tells us that even Jesus followers can twist their faith into a human religion. But this week, Paul will tell us that we have all we need in the resurrection of Jesus. This week we are going to explore the simple and surprising pathway to real change (hint: it isn't human religion).

The resurrection of Jesus is proof of our future resurrection. But there seems to be a lot of time in between! How should we live as we wait for our future resurrection? Should we expect perfection? If not, what?
We sit down and talk through Christ's' words in John 14: "Let not your hearts be troubled... I am the way, the truth, and the life." He says this right after telling Peter he's going to deny him and just before the whole crucifixion. He's getting the apostles ready for what's coming and offers them a kind of peace the world can't touch. We get into the honest stuff—our own weaknesses, the guilt when we drop the ball, and how running into Christ's truth can really shake you. We talk about living a Eucharistic life, walking with Jesus instead of trying to sprint ahead, and why a real relationship with Jesus and being vulnerable matters way more than just following the rules. We also react to agnostic Bible scholar Bart Ehrman and what he says about the resurrection appearances, digging into the empty tomb, how the disciples completely changed, and why their willingness to suffer and die for it points to something a lot bigger than hallucinations or myths.

After Easter: What Do You Do With the Empty Tomb? In the week after Easter and spring break, Jeremy welcomes attendees, highlights over a thousand people at last weekend's packed Easter services, shares upcoming events and giving options, and then asks what happens “after the moment” of celebration. Using personal stories, he compares post-event letdowns to life after Easter and argues the resurrection must move from a remembered experience to a lived reality. He notes the disciples initially hid behind locked doors in fear (John 20), but Jesus met them with peace, then purpose, sending them out with the Holy Spirit. He emphasizes believers are called to be witnesses, not perfect, and offers four practical responses: live differently as a new creation, love one another as the clearest evidence of faith, live on mission in everyday life, and build the church through community, generosity, and engagement beyond attendance. 00:00 Welcome and Updates 01:03 After the Moment 01:32 Life After Highs 04:30 Easter to Everyday 06:49 Disciples Behind Locked Doors 10:15 Peace Before Purpose 14:01 Sent as Witnesses 16:47 Witnessing Made Practical 19:54 Four Ways to Live It 21:19 Resurrection Changes You 22:44 Love Proves Discipleship 24:23 Loving in a Divided World 26:03 Mission Where You Are 28:44 Everyday Witness Moments 30:21 Build the Church Together 34:55 Step Out of Comfort 38:01 What Will You Do 40:29 Prayer for Peace Purpose

April 6, 2026 | Daniel Harris teaches from John 20 about the significance of the empty tomb and the linen cloths that Jesus left behind.
The tomb is empty. That changes everything.On the first Easter morning, two women showed up looking for a funeral — and got invited to a party. In this message from Matthew 28:1-10, we unpack three things the empty tomb means for your life today: you're invited (not out of obligation, but love), God doesn't just intervene — He gets involved, and His love for you is invincible.If the tomb lacks a body, you lack nothing.

It is impossible for us to put ourselves in the place of the women who watched Jesus die a horrible death on the cross, and then watch Him be buried in a borrowed tomb, and then watch a huge stone be rolled in front of the tomb, sealing it forever. Can you imagine what it was like for Mary Magdalene, Joanna, and Mary, the mother of James, to go to the tomb to place spices and find that it was empty? Then, when they went back to tell the disciples what they saw, the men did not believe them. Typical, right, ladies? Yet these women were the first people to know that the tomb was empty. In this podcast we are going to look at the significance of the tomb being empty for us today.

In today's episode of the Tiny Theologians Easter series, TJ and Tory share the most exciting moment in the entire Easter story—the resurrection of Jesus. As they look at the empty tomb, they discover that Jesus is no longer there—He is alive, just as He promised. Today's symbol is the empty tomb, which reminds us that Jesus has conquered sin, Satan, and death. Through this story, we see that death is not the end, and because Jesus lives, all who trust in Him will live with Him forever. This is the best news in all the world—Jesus is alive!

By Michael A. Youssef, Ph.D. Read John 20:15-18. Mary had likely heard Jesus say He would rise on the third day—yet grief blinded her to hope. Then everything changed with one word: “Mary” (John 20:16). In an instant, sorrow became joy, depression turned to delight, and her tears transformed from sadness to gladness as she recognized her living Savior. In today's episode of the MY Devotional Podcast, Dr. Michael Youssef explains why Jesus' next words matter so deeply: “Do not hold on to me…” (John 20:17). Christ wasn't rejecting Mary—He was preparing her for a new reality. He would ascend to the Father and send the Holy Spirit, the Advocate who makes it possible for every believer to enjoy a deep, intimate, ever-growing relationship with Jesus—every day, everywhere. Dr. Youssef also offers a sobering reminder: many Christians live as though Jesus died but never rose. When we function like the resurrection isn't real, discouragement, hopelessness, and heaviness follow. But the good news is you can return to the empty tomb—renew your surrender to Christ—and exchange depression for delight, because the risen Jesus is with you always and will never let you go (Matthew 28:20). Prayer: Father, You have called me by name, and I belong to You. Therefore, may I live with joy and confidence. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen. “Jesus said to her, ‘Mary.' She turned toward him and cried out in Aramaic, ‘Rabboni!' (which means ‘Teacher')” (John 20:16). Learn more in Dr. Michael A.

WHY ARE YOU LOOKING FOR LIFE IN DEAD PLACES? Luke 24:1–5 “On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb. 2 They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, 3 but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. 4 While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them. 5 In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, “Why do you look for the living among the dead?’” (NIV) 3 WAYS TO FIND LIFE THIS EASTER 1. FIND LIFE IN THE RESURRECTION, NOT YOUR ROUTINE Luke 24:6 He IS NOT HERE; HE HAS RISEN! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: (NIV) 2. FIND LIFE IN GOD’S LOVE, NOT YOUR LABOR John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. (NIV) 1 John 4:19 We love because he first loved us. (NIV) 3. FIND LIFE IN BELIEF, NOT DOUBT Luke 24:11 But they did not believe the women, because their words seemed to them like nonsense. (NIV) 3A. THE EYEWITNESS TESTIMONY 3B. THE WOMEN AS PRIMARY WITNESSES 3C. THE EMPTY TOMB 3D. THE RADICAL TRANSFORMATION OF THE DISCIPLES 3E. THE BROTHER OF JESUS John 7:5 For even his own brothers did not believe in him. (NIV)

By Michael A. Youssef, Ph.D. Read John 20:11-15. Mary Magdalene had been rescued by Jesus from seven demons—and from the crushing shame of sin—so her devotion ran deep (Luke 8:2). While others fled in fear, Mary stayed near Jesus through His suffering and crucifixion, steadfast and unashamed. She saw enough to know He truly died, so when His body was missing from the tomb, she assumed the only explanation: someone had stolen Him. Then came the turning point. Through her tears, Mary was asked twice why she was crying—first by angels, then by Jesus Himself: “Woman, why are you crying?” (John 20:15). Dr. Youssef explains that Jesus wasn't dismissing her grief—He was lovingly correcting her conclusion. Her sorrow was rooted in a mistaken belief: she was searching for a corpse, but God had provided a living, resurrected Savior. This devotional meets us in our own distress. Job loss, frightening diagnoses, family turmoil, lingering fear—so often we weep because we can't see the risen Jesus at work in the midst of the trouble. Christ's question still presses us toward clarity: Who are you looking for—and what are you assuming about God's power right now? When you recognize that Jesus is alive and present, despair gives way to hope, and temporary sorrow is reshaped by eternal confidence. Prayer: Lord, help me to remember that my tears are unnecessary. Though this life will have sorrow, all my trials pale in comparison to the glory that awaits me in You. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen. “He asked her, ‘Woman, why are you crying? Who is it you are looking for?' Thinking he was the gardener, she said, ‘Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will get him'” (John 20:15).

Blessed Triduum, friends. To ring in Holy Week and soon the Easter season philosopher and theologian Dr. Trent Dougherty is here to make the case that the Resurrection of Jesus Christ is not just a matter of faith it's historically defensible. Using the "Three E's" framework (Empty Tomb, Eyewitnesses, and Early Creeds), he walks through why secular scholars and believers alike have strong rational grounds for concluding that the Resurrection actually happened.

On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week, we dispelled the popular idea that artificial intelligence is the cure for loneliness and how it's a danger to human creativity.

In this special Easter edition of the Russell Moore Show, Russell draws from past episodes to explore how the resurrection of Jesus reframes everything: from scientific belief and intellectual doubt to embodied life, unexpected joy, and suffering. Featuring clips from episodes with Francis Collins, Michael Wear, David Taylor, Christian Wiman, Kate Bowler, and Tim Keller, this episode draws out our Christian hope: if Christ is raised, then reality itself is different. Across stories of cancer diagnoses, intellectual conversions, poetic insight, and quiet moments of joy, the episode insists on a central truth: the resurrection is not metaphor. And if it happened, then even in grief, uncertainty, and death—everything is going to be okay.

On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast (04/01/26), Hank continues the trek from Palm Sunday—when Jesus Christ rode into Jerusalem precisely the way that Zechariah said he would—to Easter. Yesterday, Hank began to talk about the four-part argument that Saint Paul gives in 1 Corinthians 15, which underscores that Christ has, in fact, risen from the dead. Today, Hank moves on to the second part of the argument, the empty tomb. As it is incontrovertible that Christ suffered fatal torment, so too, it is certain beyond reasonable doubt that Christ was buried in the tomb of Joseph of Arimathea and that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures. Were it not true, Christianity would not have survived the tomb containing the remains of the Messiah. As the reliability of the resurrection is undermined in the media, Christians must be prepared to demonstrate that Jesus was buried and that on Easter morning, some two thousand years ago, the tomb was indeed empty. Hank also addresses a question that comes up often on the Bible Answer Man broadcast, “Was Jesus really in the grave for three days and three nights?”
