Acts 1:1-11Rev. John Trapp
Luke 24:13-35 Rev. John Trapp
The centre of the world. It's a funny concept, really, because on a planet with 8 billion people, the world's attention never settles on any one event or thing for much more than a moment. Most of the time you would probably argue that the world's attention is divided and scattered. It takes an historic moment, something really big, truly significant, to hone those 8 billion sets of eyes to one point. And to be there in person, to actually experience it for yourself is to be an eyewitness to history. I met a guy who was on his OE in Europe in 1989 when he woke up one morning and heard maybe something was stirring. He hustled to a train and ended up with his photograph in the New York Times, tearing down the Berlin Wall. Truthfully, I can't compete with that. But by the nature of my job, I guess I've been fortunate to witness some reasonably significant events, first hand. I sat there as Pope Francis addressed the General Assembly of the United Nations. I've seen Presidential inaugurations, Obama speaking on the mall. I was there in the room in 2016 when Donald Trump strode into a Philadelphia arena and formally accepted the Republican nomination for President of the United States. Something tells me that despite our geographic isolation, New Zealanders are good at sniffing out big historic moments. It could be a regal one – a royal wedding of a funeral? It can be a tragic event like witnessing the 9/11 attacks. Sport can be a good one. I saw Leo Messi score for Argentina at the opening game of the 2014 Football World Cup. That was special. And I was sitting on the finish line when Usain Bolt won the 100m at the Rio Olympic Games. Sometimes it takes luck. Sometimes it takes money. And sometimes it takes an exclusive kind of privilege that almost none of us will ever have. Take a papal conclave. There might be 1.4 billion Catholics on the planet, but only those cardinals who were in the room will ever truly know what it was like to be a part of that conclave. Just being outside in St Peters Square would be an incredible experience; the moment everyone saw the white smoke. But just imagine being inside. If you were to divide the number of followers worldwide by every man in that room, there are more than ten million Catholics for each individual cardinal. But only those cardinals will know what it's like to be there in person, to see the votes tallied, to hear the new Pope choose a name. The world's attention might have been focused on the Vatican, waiting for the smoke, but for this moment, only a tiny few were there. 133 eyewitnesses to a moment in history.

Rocky and Bryan give an eyewitness account of what they saw the Holy Spirit do at the Global Women's Summit a few weeks ago. It was powerful! And they talk about the importance of this developing “Branch” of the ministry in spreading our message far and wide through the Journey Movie, especially considering 70% of Christian movie audiences are female. And they talk about the formation of a Global Women's leadership team in the works.
The disciples, now turned apostles, gave several sermons in the book of Acts – and none of them mentioned Jesus' teachings, parables, or even his miracles.So what did they talk about? Tune in to find out!
When Christ first appeared alive with His Apostles after his resurrection, Thomas was absent. The Apostles said, “We have seen the Lord,” but Thomas needed to see for himself. Eight days later Thomas saw Christ with his own eyes and believe. Christ said, “You believe because you have seen. Blessed are those who believe but who have not seen.” The Church has spread through the centuries because the Church stands in the world as eyewitness to the Resurrection of Christ. With our faith and courage, and God's grace many more will believe in the Resurrection of Christ because of our eyewitness to them. We believe because others share their eyewitness. The Church will continue only if we share our eyewitness. It is up to us.
An Easter Sunday sermon by Pastor Brett Deal. Have you ever noticed how each Gospel speaks from a unique vantage point? Matthew and Mark, Luke and John all speak from a distinct place in the story. Eyewitnesses have shared their personal experiences of being with Jesus. They take several others' testimonies of Thursday's washing and communion, of Friday's execution, of Saturday's traumatic silence. Each Gospel arrives at the dawn of the next day. This Sunday we will take up Luke's account (Luke 24.1-12) as we gather to celebrate Easter, but for today, let's take heed to Matthew's telling of the empty tomb (Matthew 28.1-10). His witness begins at first light, as Mary and others arrive at the tomb. The earth shakes, the stone is dislodged, and the Roman soldiers collapse stunned! Into the women's understandable terror, an angel proclaims Christ is risen from the dead! He has gone to Galilee, and there “you will see Him!” These women give us a perfectly recognizable response! They were “afraid and yet filled with great joy.” Who hasn't felt that strange combination of emotions?! Bursting exhilaration cloaked in fear. Great anticipation tempered by anxiety. These disciples watched their teacher thrashed and mocked and nailed bleeding to a torturous cross. They witnessed the stuff of nightmares, the kinds of violence that make us fight the darkness of sleep. They've been traumatized by the violence of Friday and the silence of Saturday. They are experiencing real fear. Easter morning, their fear is not ignored or denied. It isn't minimized or mocked. It's there, like the heavy clouds of dawn dissipating in the light of day. The clouds are still there, but the rising sun is pushing the gray to silvered edges by irrepressible joy. They are still afraid, but the sense of gladness and joy is breaking through! Walking through Holy Week, knowing that Easter is coming, don't be afraid to feel. Don't try to hide your fears, anxieties, afflictions, or pains. Bring the gray clouds of your experience through sorrow and grief to the empty tomb where we witness the good news together!
There are three proofs that Jesus Christ rose from the dead that, you must either receive or reject.

Known as an alchemist, philosopher, mystic, and even an immortal, Saint Germain has captivated the imaginations of people for centuries. But who was he really? Was he just a brilliant man far ahead of his time, or something more—an ascended master, a time traveler, or perhaps even a being from another dimension? In this episode, Jennifer and Joe unravel the mythos surrounding this enigmatic character, delving into historical accounts, esoteric teachings, and paranormal theories that continue to keep Saint Germain at the forefront of metaphysical conversation. Saint Germain first appeared in the courts of 18th-century Europe, where he astounded royalty and aristocrats with his extensive knowledge of languages, music, science, and art. Eyewitnesses claimed he never seemed to age and often hinted at having lived for hundreds of years. He never ate in public, and his origins were always vague, adding layers to his already mysterious persona. Joe discusses these historical elements, offering listeners a grounded look at how this figure moved among the elites of his time, while Jennifer taps into the more spiritual and metaphysical aspects of Saint Germain's legend, exploring the idea that he may have been an ascended master—a spiritual being who has transcended human limitations and now works to guide humanity. The conversation takes a deeper turn as they explore Saint Germain's connection to Theosophy, the I AM Movement, and other spiritual philosophies where he is revered as a divine teacher. He is said to channel the powerful Violet Flame, a spiritual energy believed to transmute negative energy and accelerate personal transformation and healing. Jennifer shares how the Violet Flame is used in modern metaphysical practices and how listeners might tap into this energy for personal growth and spiritual development. Joe also presents the idea that Saint Germain may have been a highly advanced alchemist who discovered secrets about time, space, and consciousness that allowed him to seemingly transcend death. As the episode unfolds, Jennifer and Joe examine various sightings and stories of Saint Germain appearing long after his supposed death. Some claim to have encountered him in the 19th, 20th, and even 21st centuries. These encounters fuel theories that he is either immortal, a shape-shifter, or perhaps a time traveler who moves in and out of our timeline with ease. The duo also touches on how Saint Germain's teachings have been channeled by modern spiritual figures, and how his messages often focus on enlightenment, peace, and the evolution of the human soul. True to the spirit of the 222 Paranormal Podcast, this episode blends historical research with open-minded exploration. Joe brings his trademark curiosity and analytical mind, while Jennifer channels her intuitive gifts and deep understanding of spiritual phenomena. Together, they create a compelling narrative that invites listeners to question what we know about reality, life, and consciousness.

It's a deep dive into a story that defies explanation, challenges our perception of time and space, and ultimately reminds us that the universe is full of mysteries waiting to be explored.

When Thomas doubted, Jesus didn't rebuke him, but met him in his uncertainty with grace and peace. Showing him His wounds, He invited Thomas to believe.

USA/CHINA TRADE SPAT ESCALATES.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------HomeFront-New York: This afternoon a private helicopter (tail number: N216MH) crashed in the Hudson River in the vicinity of the Holland Tunnel. As of this report, no survivors have been reported, though rescue operations are ongoing.North Dakota: Tuesday morning a rupture was reported at the Keystone pipeline near Fort Ransom. Roughly 3,500 barrels of oil were spilled in a farmer's field as a result of the pipeline rupture.Kentucky: Recovery efforts continue following the flooding events of the past week. Severe weather events swept through the region last week, causing widespread damage from the floods. Many areas are still inaccessible due to roads washing out, and debris generally causing challenges with transportation.Washington D.C. - Tariff shenanigans continue as the White House clarifies the math on the total tariffs on China. So far, the final tally as of this morning is that a 145% tariff on all imports from China is in effect.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: As the helicopter crash in New York is a developing situation, not much is confirmed. Eyewitnesses state that the aircraft broke up mid-flight, with no obvious signs of distress or mechanical failure before the incident. Analysis of the aircraft's transponder data does not indicate any abnormal flight pattern before the incident that may indicate what happened. Of note, misleading videos are already circulating on social media, being pushed by very big accounts. An older video of a similar helicopter showing erratic flight is being falsely claimed to be from this incident, when in reality that footage was from a few years ago. In today's age, misleading, old, or even outright fake video clips always circulate on social media in the minutes after a disaster. Despite this, most people on social media quickly forget the accounts that push fake information, thus continuing the circus the next time something happens.In North Dakota, no cause was reported for the Keystone pipeline incident. However, the impacts will continue to be felt as the pipeline remains shut down (almost three days after the incident) while repairs are underway. This pipeline transports on average 600,000 barrels of crude oil per day, so any downtime whatsoever will probably negatively impact the prices of petroleum products while repairs continue.Analyst: S2A1Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground//END REPORT//

In this episode I talk to Dr. James Ware, scholar of New Testament and Ancient Christianity and professor emeritus at the University of Evansville, about his brand-new The Final Triumph of God: Jesus, the Eyewitnesses, and the Resurrection of the Body in 1 Corinthians 15, out now on Eerdmans, which is a line-by-line commentary of Paul's most iconic statement of the resurrection at the end of the first Corinthian epistle. We look at the significance and centrality of the resurrection for Christian faith, the wider context of 1 Corinthians, and then engage in a passage-by-passage review of 1 Corinthians 15, dealing with all the complex exegetical questions it poses. The resurrection is the heart of the Christian hope, and this lengthy chapter needs to be taken seriously!

On the night of February 25, 1942, less than three months after Pearl Harbor, Los Angeles was gripped by fear as air raid sirens wailed and a total blackout stretched to the Mexican border. Powerful arc lamps lit up the sky, and anti-aircraft guns fired wildly as reports of enemy aircraft flooded in — some claiming planes crashed down across the city, though no wreckage was found. Even military leaders couldn't agree on what had happened. Some dismissing it as a false alarm, while others insisted non-U.S. aircraft were present. Eyewitnesses, including trained military observers, described seeing strange, slow-moving objects — one even shaped like a butterfly — and estimating anywhere from 1 to 25 of these aircraft. Decades later, declassified documents suggested the military misled the public, with one army chief allegedly reporting to President Roosevelt that the craft were likely of interplanetary origin. This week, we travel back to 1942 to sift through the conflicting reports, from that night and beyond, to help theorize the true nature of the so-called "Battle of Los Angeles."

Sorry Aunt Mildred and Uncle Bob– nobody wants to use your names for their children anymore! But what does that have to do with the credibility of the New Testament writers? In this fun and fascinating episode of 'I Don't Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist', Frank explores why the names we see recorded in ancient history matter and unpacks how these names serve as powerful evidence that the New Testament writers were actual eyewitnesses to the events they described in the Gospels and the Book of Acts. Join Frank as he tackles key questions like:How have name trends changed in the U.S. over the last 100 years, and how does this relate to the reliability of the Scriptures?What is an undesigned coincidence, and what examples of undesigned coincidences do we find in the New Testament?How do scholars know when Paul wrote his letters?Who are the 34 people mentioned in the New Testament that have also been verified by secular sources?What archeological evidence and non-Christian writings corroborate with what we see written in the Gospels?What's the Spider-Man Fallacy? And should the New Testament be categorized as historical fiction?If you or anyone you know has ever struggled to believe that the New Testament is historically credible, this episode might change your mind!Resources mentioned during the episode:Jesus and the Eyewitnesses by Richard Bauckham - https://a.co/d/9v3GXegCold Case Christianity (Updated & Expanded Edition) by J.

In the latest episode of "Within the Mist," hosts Gary and GoldieAnn delve into the legend of the Cadborosaurus, affectionately known as "Caddy." This cryptid is said to inhabit the coastal waters of the North Pacific, particularly around Cadboro Bay in British Columbia.The episode begins by exploring the indigenous tribes' early legends, which describe serpentine sea creatures bearing a striking resemblance to Caddy. These tales have been passed down through generations, embedding the creature deeply into local folklore.Moving forward to the 1930s, the hosts recount numerous reported sightings of Caddy. Eyewitnesses during this era described a creature with a long neck, horse-like head, and a series of humps along its back, often seen undulating through the water. These accounts contributed to a surge of public interest and speculation about the creature's existence.The episode reaches a climax with the intriguing discovery of an unidentified carcass found in the stomach of a whale. This finding reignited debates among cryptozoologists and marine biologists, as some believed the remains could be physical evidence of Caddy's existence.

March 2, 1996. Culpepper County, Virginia. After leaving her home in Baltimore, Maryland in order to drive to Charlottesville, 25-year old Alicia Showalter Reynolds goes missing and her abandoned car is found alongside U.S. Route 29. Eyewitnesses report having seen Alicia speaking with an unidentified man in a pick-up truck and it becomes apparent that he may have tricked Alicia into pulling over before abducting her. Two months later, Alicia's body is discovered in a remote field and while it is theorized that she fell prey to a killer known as the “Route 29 Stalker”, no one is ever charged with her murder. On this week's episode of “The Trail Went Cold”, we explore the death of Alicia Showalter Reynolds, a crime which has had some compelling suspects over the years, but remains unsolved.

On November 18, 1969, Fred Corrow, a resident of Dixfield, Maine, embarked on a solo student flight from Folsom's Flying Service in Greenville, piloting a rented Cessna 180, designated N9113T. Eyewitnesses later reported seeing him practicing float landings on Fitzgerald Pond, which is now known as Mountain View Pond. Tragically, Fred and his aircraft vanished without a trace, and despite extensive search efforts, no crash site was ever discovered, leaving a lingering sense of mystery and loss. There was a report suggesting that the aircraft was observed in a steep dive over a group of hunters, followed by a sound that was believed to be the impact on Moosehead Lake, an area known for its deep waters ranging from 60 to 80 feet. However, this account was dismissed by search teams at the time due to the absence of any floating debris or oil slick, which are typically indicators of an aircraft accident. This lack of physical evidence only deepened the enigma surrounding Fred's disappearance, leaving many questions unanswered. This evening, we have the privilege of speaking with aviation archaeologist Peter Noddin, who has dedicated countless hours to investigating this perplexing case. His relentless pursuit of the truth reflects a deep commitment to not only uncovering what happened to Fred Corrow but also to providing closure for his family and friends. Peter's work embodies the hope that one day, the mystery of Fred's fate may be resolved, allowing those who care for him to finally find peace.

In 1998, JJ Velazquez was wrongfully convicted for the murder of a retired police officer. Eyewitnesses of the crime described the suspect as a black male with braids. JJ, a Latino man whose hair didn't match the description, was nonetheless made a suspect in the crime. JJ was eventually found guilty and sentenced to 25 years to life at Sing Sing. He spent 23 years, 8 months, and 11 days wrongly imprisoned. Activist and actor JJ Velazquez discusses the decades-long fight for freedom and what it meant for him to finally be exonerated this year.
