Game Changer, by Mark Pekar
All of the Gospel of Mark has led to this moment. Jesus had said multiple times that he would die, and that he would rise again. Early Sunday morning several women come to the place where Jesus was buried, wondering who will role away the stone for them so they can prepare Jesus' body more sufficiently for long-term burial. Not only has the giant stone been moved, but Jesus is not there. What has happened?! If it's really true that Jesus has risen from the dead then this changes absolutely everything, and there is hope for all of us!
John invites a conversation about why Mark’s account of the resurrection so short. Is something missing, or did Mark do this deliberately? Is he inviting a conversation about how Jesus went ahead to where his hearers were and are?He then uses a quote from Nadia Bolz-Weber to explore such a conversation might include. Nadia says that “Easter is “a story about flesh and dirt and bodies and confusion…. God is interested in making me new. And new is not perfect. In the Easter story itself, new is often messy. New looks like recovering alcoholics, and reconciliation between family members who don’t actually deserve it. New looks like every time I admit I am wrong and every time I don’t mention it when I am right. New is every fresh start, every act of forgiveness and every moment of letting go of what we thought we couldn’t live without and then somehow living without it anyway. New is the thing we never see coming, never even hope for, but ends up being the thing we needed all along. It happens to all of us. God simply keeps bending down into the dirt of humanity and resurrecting us from the graves we dig ourselves through our violence, our lies, our arrogance, and our addictions. And God keeps loving us back to life over and over” (Pastrix, chapter 17.)Here at Hori Tapu we stand on a site where God reached down in the dirtiness of our greed and war, into the graves that had literally dug , and offered life in acts of mercy, compassion, love.So on this Easter morning, what are our stories of God reaching into our lives and loving us back to life?The notes for this sermon can be found here
In Resurrection, the Risen Christ blesses us with life, and invites us to go and tell the story with the lives we live. When the Gospel of Mark tells the story of Resurrection – in language spare and startling – “He is risen! He’s gone ahead to meet you. Just like he said. Go and tell the others” – it invites us to write ourselves into the narrative.

Jesus was alive! The shock must have been stunningly heart-pounding. This would change absolutely everything, beginning with their hearts, and then affecting their entire lives. Jesus' resurrection from the dead is still changing hearts and lives almost 2,000 years later, awakening hearts, changing our heading, and filling us with a radical hope of eternal inclusion with Christ! (Mark 16:1-8)

Sarah talks about the Easter account according to the Gospel of Mark (Mark 16:1-8). This account does not include a resurrection appearance by Jesus and ends with the women fleeing the tomb in terror, telling no one of Jesus's resurrection. And yet there IS good news in this short and awkward story.As always, if you enjoyed the show, follow us and subscribe to the show: you can find us on iTunes or on any app that carries podcasts as well as on YouTube.

The death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ helps us face our fears. I. Jesus died well, to free us from the fear of death, vv37-39. II. Jesus really died, and frees us from our fear of people, vv42-47. III. Jesus defeated death, and frees us 1) from the fear we are fools to believe in him, 2) from the fear of God's judgment, and 3) from the fear of Christ's abandonment, vv1-8.
John offers an imagination exercise to help people enter into the Easter story, to experience it afresh, and to wonder where they meet the resurrected Christ today.

The supernatural facts of the empty tomb, the stone covering the tomb rolled away, and the appearance of an angel in the tomb telling that Jesus is risen, are miraculous experiences for the women who came expecting to embalm Jesus’ dead body. Yet, it...
