In one of the most tender and powerful moments of Scripture, the risen Jesus speaks a single word that changes everything: “Mary.” Today, as we continue The Gospel: One Sign at a Time, our year-long journey through the Gospel of John, Paul walks us through Mary Magdalene's encounter with the resurrected Christ and highlights two truths we can't afford to miss.To explore more in-depth Bible studies, visit PaulTripp.com/John.
Pastor Josiah Graves shares an inspiring Easter Sunday message as he unpacks John 20:1-16.
On this episode of Preaching the Text, John Hoyum and Steve Paulson discuss the charter of all evangelical proclamation: Christ's appearance to the disciples on Easter according to John's telling. Here we learn that the purpose of the church is the forgiveness of sins, and that Christ's work of giving peace to troubled consciences convinces us of the truth that he has taken our sins and defeated them in his suffering and death.

Having betrayed Christ, the disciples lock themselves in a room out of fear of what their future holds. Jesus appears. Looking for revenge? No. He gives them the greatest gift: peace. Lars Olson explains that the peace Christ delivers is having no fear, worry, or anxiety about what is to come in the future. It is knowing that your past no longer determines what comes next for you. Jesus gives his authority to forgive sin. To deliver peace. See how that plays out with Thomas, and us today. EASTER SEASON GUIDE“Easter is not the end of the story. It's the beginning. Not the conclusion to a tragic season, but the breaking in of a new creation. Not a soft spring metaphor for fresh starts, but the announcement of a concrete, crucified, risen Christ alive for us and coming straight into our locked rooms.” Those are Pastor Mark Anderson's words describing the 7-week Season of Easter. Luther House of Study just released a week-by-week Easter Season planning guide that features planning outlines, Greek word details, sermon angles, liturgies, and hymn suggestions. Access the guide at the link in the show notes. Access the guide: https://lutherhouseofstudy.org/liturgical-year-planning-guides/ SING TO THE LORD Martin Luther said, "Next to the word of God, the art of music is the greatest treasure in the world." To understand the importance of hymnody in the Lutheran church, Lars Olson and Mason Van Essen sit down with Zachary Brockhoff to discuss the lectionary's hymns, their meaning and history, and how the music preaches the Gospel.

Send me a Text Message!For the next few episodes as we close our our Lent series, we are going to look at a few of Jesus' days between the resurrection and his ascension. In this episode it's that guy who has the nickname that kind of sucked but totally stuck. Doubting Thomas. How would you like to be remembered with that nickname for a couple thousand years? But Thomas' story is an excellent reminder that that quest for faith is sometimes difficult. If you have ever wrestled with doubts, and I have...then Thomas' story will encourage you and remind that...Jesus is ok with your doubts!

In this Easter message, Associate Pastor Benjamin Kandt reflects on the story of Thomas, the disciple who famously doubted the resurrection. Rather than condemning his skepticism, Jesus met Thomas exactly where he was—inviting him to touch his wounds and believe. This moment reveals a God who enters locked rooms of fear and doubt, offering grace, not shame.The resurrection isn't just a historical event; it's an invitation into new life for those who question, suffer, and long for restoration. Jesus' scars become a healing response to our deepest wounds, showing that faith isn't blind—it's grounded in love, community, and truth. The gospel calls us not to behave better, but to believe deeper. Jesus meets us in our doubt and leads us into joy.
The Resurrection was not just a historical event that happened centuries ago. It is an ongoing reality and an everlasting truth that through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, death has been defeated, hope has risen and love has triumphed forever. By Dave Bartlett

Because Jesus lives, we can face tomorrow. --- What does the Bible tell us about navigating new horizons and fresh starts? Using the Conquest of Canaan as our narrative guide, this series will help us see how Joshua and the Israelites looked to God to lead them into the Promised Land, and we'll also see the principles God gave them that will still work well for us today.

Once Thomas was convinced of Jesus' bodily resurrection from the dead, his life was incalculably changed. But before that change came, he first needed to believe. For Thomas, it took a week longer than necessary. Don't wait to believe in the Risen Jesus! Make the choice today.

Pastor Dave Pack, Associate Pastor
Chad ends our "Signs" series on Easter by looking at Jesus' resurrection as the source of unlimited hope for anyone who will believe.
This Easter Sunday we look at how the disciple Thomas encounters the resurrection. We learn three things; that Jesus welcomes realists and skeptics to the table, that the resurrection is physical, and that believing in the resurrection is a practice of trust.

What do you really believe about Jesus—and why does it matter?In John 20:1-10, Mary Magdalene arrives at the tomb while it's still dark, only to find it empty. Her first thought? Someone has taken Jesus' body. When Peter and John rush to see for themselves, they find the grave clothes left behind with the cloth that had covered Jesus' face folded and set apart. It was a scene that raised more questions than answers. They saw, but didn't yet understand.Discover how the empty tomb changed everything, not just for history, but for your life today.

He is Risen! Having finished our Lenten time in Job, we turn to the Gospel of John for his account of the Resurrection, both an end and a beginning. Read John 20 and thanks for listening!

On the first day of the week,Mary of Magdala came to the tomb early in the morning,while it was still dark,and saw the stone removed from the tomb.So she ran and went to Simon Peterand to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and told them,“They have taken the Lord from the tomb,and we don't know where they put him.”So Peter and the other disciple went out and came to the tomb.They both ran, but the other disciple ran faster than Peterand arrived at the tomb first;he bent down and saw the burial cloths there, but did not go in.When Simon Peter arrived after him,he went into the tomb and saw the burial cloths there,and the cloth that had covered his head,not with the burial cloths but rolled up in a separate place.Then the other disciple also went in,the one who had arrived at the tomb first,and he saw and believed.For they did not yet understand the Scripturethat he had to rise from the dead.
Every Easter, until COVID, my dad would host a Sunrise Service(First at the Pacific Amphitheater and later the Verizon Amphitheater)And most every year he would tell the same story; this one about Mary Magdalene - you might expect people to say, “Oh no, not this story again,” ~ but instead it was, “Oh! This is one of my favorite sermons” ~ about forty years ago, a Sunrise Service was held at San Clemente High SchoolI went because I heard Eddie Piorek was going to speakHe also told the story of Mary Magdalene - I'm don't intend to recover or carry on a tradition today ~ but last week—Palm Sunday—we read the story about another Mary,the one who poured perfume on Jesus' feet ~ it felt right to spend a moment with the Mary in today's story,who lost Jesus and then found found himJohn, in fact, highlights three Marys who appear in connection with Jesus' death Mary, the sister of Martha and Lazarus, who prepared Jesus for his burial (Jn. 12:7) Mary Magdalene, who stood by the cross and later came to the tomb, And Mary the mother of Jesus

Are you searching for hope but not sure where to find it? Have you heard the Resurrection story but never truly experienced the risen Jesus for yourself? Mary came to the tomb expecting death—but instead, she encountered the risen Christ. In this Easter message centered on John 20:1–18, Pastor Josiah shared how Jesus meets us in our brokenness, calls us by name, and sends us out with joy. This isn't just Mary's story—it's the story of every believer! Christ's resurrection may seem like the end of the story, but it's actually the beginning of a new one. For those who profess faith in Christ, the best part of Christ's resurrection – is that it guarantees ours!
