Podcasts about resurrection jesus

How did the Apostle Paul go from being an enemy of Christians to defender of the faith? There would be no benefit for an enemy of the church to lie about his conversion to the faith, to preach openly and establish churches or to give them correction.  After the Resurrection Jesus appeared to Paul and chose him to herald the gospel. Paul's deep knowledge of the word lays out the basis for our hope in the Resurrection, the promise of eternal life. 1 Corinthians 15  VF-2182 Watch, Listen and Learn 24x7 at PastorMelissaScott.com Pastor Melissa Scott teaches from Faith Center in Glendale.

Send Us Your Questions/CommentsDemons call Jesus by name, a town begs him to leave, and one broken man ends up sitting clothed and clear-minded at the feet of Christ. That tension is where Luke 8 gets painfully honest: it's possible to recognize Jesus and still resist him when he disrupts what we prize. We talk through the Gerasene deliverance story as a vivid look at spiritual warfare, deliverance, and the kind of freedom no human chain, plan, or self-help fix can produce.From there, the pace shifts but the theme stays sharp. Jairus pleads for his dying daughter, and on the way Jesus stops for a woman suffering for twelve years who reaches out in faith. We unpack why Jesus calls her “daughter,” why he makes her story public, and why proximity to Jesus isn't the same as trusting him. If you've ever felt unseen, unclean, or stuck in a cycle you can't break, this passage offers hope that is both personal and powerful.Then the worst news lands: the little girl dies. Jesus answers with a command that cuts through panic and regret, “Do not fear, only believe,” and he shows his authority even over death. If you need release, restoration, or resurrection-level hope, you'll find it here.

March 29, 2026 Morning Service. Part of the Road to Resurrection: Jesus' Final Week series. (Matthew 26:47-56)

Kids: The crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus is the center of the gospel. We deserve to die because of our sin, but Jesus died in our place. He was the blood sacrifice made once and for all for the forgiveness of sin. Jesus raised from the dead to reign as King over all creation. We are forgiven only through Jesus. Babies: This session will focus on Jesus helping people. 1s–K: Jesus died on the cross and was placed in the tomb. This session will help kids think about Easter, the time we celebrate that Jesus is alive and thank God for what Jesus did.

.“Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.”  This is Paul's word to the Ephesians (and to us!) as we think about our relationships. What would happen if we reimagine every relationship with this instruction in mind?  How might our homes and our churches be impacted if our focus is submission to one another?  In this study of Ephesians 5:21-6:9 we explore these questions.

We trust this series on the Biblical Passion of Christ and His Resurrection is a great encouragement to you. John's presentation of the Resurrection and appearing of Jesus Christ is that we may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the son of God and that believing we may have life in His name.Thank you for being here on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast.--------------------The focus is John 20 verses 19-29.As Jesus appears to His disciples, Dr. Mitchell shows that these disciples had great joy and great peace. Jesus gave them a personal temporary experience of the Holy Spirit whom they were to permanently receive on the day of Pentecost. In 1 Cor.15:45 it written of Adam that he became a living soul, whereas of Jesus it is written that He became a life giving Spirit.However, Thomas was not present when Jesus first appeared and he missed a meeting with the Lord.Dr. Mitchell states that unbelief dictates terms to God before believing. But here, the Lord Jesus accepted Thomas' terms and showed him His hands and side. Upon this, Thomas declared the Lord Jesus Christ as His Lord and His God. What a gracious and understanding savior ..this Jesus, this Lord!Here is Dr. Mitchell, John 20:19-29.

Let's join Dr. Mitchell as we continue our special study on the Biblical Passion of Christ and His resurrection with this introduction. Our study today on the Unchanging Word continues in John chapter 20 at verse 19. Dr. Mitchell continues on the theme of Christ as the victorious One. Our Lord Jesus arose physically from the dead in the identical body in which He was crucified and buried. In verses 19-23, Jesus appears to ten of His remaining disciples who had gathered together with doors closed because of fear of the Jews. Thomas was not there at this meeting. Jesus showed them His hands and His side and these disciples were glad. Jesus now commissions them for service and they experienced the Holy Spirit from the Lord Jesus to proclaim forgiveness of sins. Have you received the forgiveness of your sins from Jesus Christ? He really does grant a very real forgiveness. As you thank Him for His forgiveness personally, you can receive it right now. Do this now.Let's join Dr. Mitchell, John 20:19-23.

As we continue the Biblical Passion of Christ in His resurrection and appearing, we will hear of Mary Magdalene, Peter and John and their first reactions to the empty tomb where Jesus had been laid.It is interesting to note that Peter and John had not yet understood the Scripture that their Messiah, Jesus, must rise from the dead. Mary Magdalene is especially precious in this passage as she encounters the risen Lord, not knowing that He was Jesus.Let's join Dr. Mitchell as we continue our study on the Biblical Passion of Christ and His resurrection with this introduction. -----------------On the Unchanging Word Bible study, Dr. Mitchell will be speaking about Mary Magdalene. We are in John chapter 20 beginning at verse 13.Here, We see Mary weeping in sorrow when two angels ask her a question. After this she then turns to see someone else who then asks her two more questions. She responds by not answering these questions, but asking where he had put the body of Jesus. Jesus speaks her name, and immediately she recognizes His voice. Dr. Mitchell brings out the fact we who know Jesus as savior are joined to a risen savior. From now on we do not know Jesus according to the flesh per se, but we know the Lord Jesus Christ who is risen, ascended to His Father and our Father, to His God and our God and now glorified at God's right hand. Open your Bible to John 20 verse 13 with our teacher Dr. Mitchell.

"Do not fear, only believe." These powerful words from Jesus remind us that even in the darkest moments, faith can bring hope—and even resurrection.   In this message, we walk through one of the most moving accounts in the Gospels, where desperation meets divine power. From Jairus' plea for his dying daughter to a woman's quiet, desperate touch, Jesus shows us that delays are not denials—and that death is not the end.   Sermon Points:

This is the reading from Luke 20 in our ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Good News of Great Joy reading guide⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. Luke 20 challenges us to consider Jesus's authority, our response to it, and the reality of His Kingdom. As we prepare for Advent, let these truths shape our hearts: Recognize Jesus' Authority: The religious leaders resisted acknowledging Jesus's authority. This Advent, reflect on areas of your life where you need to submit more fully to Christ as Lord. Respond with Faith, Not Rejection: The parable of the wicked tenants reminds us that rejecting God's messengers leads to judgment. Consider how you can embrace Christ's message of salvation with gratitude and obedience. Give to God What Is His: Jesus taught the importance of giving to God what belongs to Him. During Advent, dedicate your time, talents, and treasures to His glory. Hope in the Resurrection: Jesus's teaching about the resurrection assures us of eternal life. Let this hope inspire joy and anticipation as you celebrate His first coming and await His return. Beware of Hypocrisy: Jesus rebuked the scribes for their pride and exploitation of others. Advent calls us to examine our hearts, repent of hypocrisy, and walk humbly with God. As you prepare for Christmas, may you honor Christ as the cornerstone of your faith, submit to His authority, and eagerly anticipate the fulfillment of His kingdom. You can find the written version of today's reading, complete with footnotes and commentary summaries, here.

Scripture: Acts 20:32-38 Pastor continues with the story of Paul's talk with the leadership of the church in a gathering in the town of Miletus - it is Paul's farewell speech to this group of believers. Paul finishes his time with these friends and leaders with them all in prayer together. There are tears as the leaders are grieved at knowing they will not see Paul again. Paul knew he had complete his work here and in the surrounding cities and areas. The chapter closes with them walking him to the ship to leave. But let's focus on one of the words from Paul's speech as it draws to an end. He talks about our inheritance in Christ.  What does inheritance mean in the Bible?   The biblical definition of inheritance is speaking of what God gives to us through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Ephesians 1:13-14 tells us that when we believed in Christ, Christ identified us as His own by giving us the Holy Spirit. The Spirit is the guarantee that Jesus will give us the inheritance He promised and that He has purchased us to be His own people.  1 Peter 1:3-4 tells us of an inheritance that comes to us through the death and resurrection of Christ and is an inheritance that can never perish or fade away. Jesus' death and resurrection is the heart of our inheritance. BUT there's more! The Essential Fundamentals of the Faith:     1.    Deity - Jesus is true man and true God     2.    Death - Jesus, the Lamb of God, through His death, paid for our sins on the cross     3.    Resurrection - Jesus' resurrection assures we too shall rise. The resurrection is God's declaration that the sacrifice of Jesus is accepted.     4.    Return - Jesus is alive forever more and is coming back. His second coming- He's coming back for us. These fundamentals are pointed to in the Old Testament, and are fulfilled in the New Testament. Jesus' return is the heart of Paul's teaching and Christ's return is what assures us of our inheritance. Are you doubting the Resurrection of Christ? Dr. Gary R. Habermas is a scholar of the resurrection of Christ and has written several books. Here are two we suggest for those wanting to read about the evidence of Jesus resurrection: “On the Resurrection: Evidences” And “On the Resurrection: Refutations” Anthony Flew, a renown atheist debated Gary Habermas. Several years later Antony rejected atheism because the evidence for God is convincing. The evidence for the existence of God and for the resurrection of Jesus is powerful and convincing. Many people have never examined the evidence but instead they have just bought into what they've been told by the world rather than the things they could have discovered. What does it mean for us that Jesus is alive?  What is our destiny? It is NOT as a spirit in heaven. The Bible teaches the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Pastor sites these verses for what the New Testament says about the:  Deceased Believers Luke 23:43 - in paradise Philippians 1:23 - with Christ, better by far 1 Thessalonians 3:13-14 - asleep BUT on our destiny we read in  1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 1 Corinthians 15:22-26, 51-52 Titus 2:13-14 John 5:28-29 that:     1.    Jesus will come down from heaven with a trumpet call and a loud voice of the archangel     2.    The dead will rise     3.    We will be with the Lord forever     4.    A new heaven and a new earth     5.    Death will be destroyed     6.    We will all be changed in the twinkling of an eye - imperishable! Our destiny is to be raised to life forever with God with transformed glorified bodies in a new heaven and a new earth - ALL things new. May the truth that we too shall rise anchor us in our faith in God and give us strength in opposition, joy in the face of loss and assurance in the face of death. https://www.awakeusnow.com Check out the video on our website https://www.awakeusnow.com/living-one Check out the video on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLTaaqrC3dMOwUarSm3uJrzLI4thAJNXQj Watch via our app. Text HELLO to 888-364-4483 to download our app.

What evidence do we have that Jesus really did resurrect?

The effects of the Anointing of the Sick are numerous and deeply transformative. In times of great need and temptation, this sacrament brings us strength, courage, peace, and the forgiveness of sins. Fr. Mike explains that these effects aren't only for the individual recipient but for the whole ecclesial community. We learn that when a person approaches the threshold of death, joining this anointing with Reconciliation and the Eucharist as viaticum constitute “the sacraments that complete the earthly pilgrimage.” Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 1520-1525.

Fr. Mike begins his examination of the Paschal Mystery of Christ's passion, death, and ultimate Resurrection. He emphasizes that all of Scripture points to this Paschal Mystery, and that through our faith, we can try to examine the circumstances of Jesus' life to fully understand our own redemption. We also explore Jesus' relationship with Israel and our own relationship with our Jewish forefathers. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 571-576.

each out and connect and partner with my ministry athttps://patreon.com/JeremyMcCandlessToday's passage recounts a powerful and touching story from the Gospel of Luke, specifically Luke 7:11-17, where Jesus raises the son of a widow from the dead. It's a narrative filled with compassion, miracles, and deep spiritual truths. Let's summarize the key points and reflect on the lessons presented in this passage:Setting the Scene:The events take place in the town of Nain, the day after Jesus healed the centurion's servant. A large crowd, including Jesus' disciples, follows Him into the city, coinciding with a funeral procession coming out of the city. A widow is mourning the loss of her only son, a situation that would have left her vulnerable and facing a difficult future.Compassion of Jesus:Jesus is moved with compassion upon seeing the grieving mother. His response challenges the stoic perspective of a God devoid of emotions.Despite cultural norms and taboos, Jesus touches the coffin and speaks words of comfort to the grieving mother.Miracle of Resurrection:Jesus commands the dead young man to arise, and he sits up and begins to speak. This miracle not only defies cultural norms but transforms grief into a testimony, bringing fear and awe to the onlookers.Restoration and Compassionate Act:Rather than instructing the resurrected young man to follow Him, Jesus presents him back to his mother, emphasizing the compassion and comfort He provides. This act symbolizes the restoration of a broken family relationship, bringing immediate comfort to the grieving mother.Response of the Crowd:The crowd initially reacts with fear but then recognizes the divine nature of the miracle, glorifying God. They identify Jesus as a great prophet, acknowledging that God has visited His people.Broader Themes and Application:The story aligns with broader biblical themes of hope and comfort in the face of death. It challenges believers to offer genuine compassion in times of grief, recognizing the hidden pain that others may be carrying.The passage suggests that the ultimate comfort lies in the promise of reunion, a theme echoed in other biblical passages.The passage concludes with a challenge for believers to move from being mere onlookers (looking crowd) to being active learners from Jesus (learning crowd). It prompts self-reflection on whether one is merely observing or actively learning from the teachings and actions of Jesus.In summary, the story is a poignant illustration of Jesus' compassion, His power over death, and the comfort He brings in times of grief. It calls believers to embody that compassion and move beyond passive observation to active learning from the teachings of Christ.Support the showMy Amazon Author Pageamazon.com/author/jeremymccandlessJeremy McCandless is creating podcasts and devotional resources | PatreonHelp us continue making great content for listeners everywhere.https://thebibleproject.buzzsprout.com

**The Follow Up: Revelation 2:1-11 | Week 3****Rapture Interpretations:**- People seek understanding regarding different interpretations of the Rapture, tribulation, and Millennium.**Church Beliefs and Handling Differences:**- Addressing differing beliefs is vital. The church emphasizes truth, love, and adhering to Biblical guidelines (Matthew 18, 1 Corinthians 5) in managing these situations.**The Second Death in Revelation:**- Pastors refute the belief of annihilationism related to the "second death" and advocate for a historic church view of eternal conscious torment as hell's depiction, referring to the Lake of Fire and separation from God.**Relevance of Jesus' Resurrection:**- Jesus' victory over death provides hope and reassurance, especially during challenging periods, reminding believers of the promise of eternal life.**Supporting Fear-Driven Believers:**- For believers with fear-based views on end times, pastors encourage a shift towards a motivation based on faith and love, emphasizing the promises in scripture, like John 3:16.**Motivation for Serving God:**- True motivation should be rooted in genuine love for Jesus and seeking His love as the ultimate reward.**Our Relationship with God:**- God desires obedience out of love, not fear. He longs for a deeper relationship with His children.**Emphasis on Jesus in Scripture:**- Apostles centered their teachings on Jesus and His love, rather than inducing fear.**Recognizing Genuine Faith:**- True faith is evident through our actions and genuine joy in serving, rather than serving out of obligation or guilt.**Understanding Spiritual Forces:**- Both God and Satan influence people.

"Set your eyes on Jesus... the reward of Heaven."5. "See Jesus as the reward."6. "Deepen your love for God."7. "Focus on Jesus and His love."8. "Recognize genuine love for God through actions."9. "Address the spiritual darkness present."10. "Unity in the return and lordship of Jesus."

Jesus' Resurrection      Jesus' resurrection is an essential element in soteriology. In fact, every writer of the NT assumes that Jesus was resurrected from the grave and treat it as an event that took place in time and space. Paul wrote that Jesus “was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures” (1 Cor 15:4), that He was “the first fruits of those who are asleep” (1 Cor 15:20), and that “having been raised from the dead, is never to die again” (Rom 6:9). After His resurrection, Jesus appeared to numerous persons over a period of forty days (Acts 1:3), namely, Mary Magdalene and other women (Matt 28:1-10; John 20:10-18), two disciples on the road to Emmaus (Luke 24:13-32), the disciples without Thomas (John 20:19-25), the disciples with Thomas (John 20:26-29), the disciples by the Sea of Galilee (John 21:1-23), Peter, James, and more than 500 brethren at one time (1 Cor 15:5-7). After these appearances, Jesus ascended bodily into heaven (Luke 24:50-51; Acts 1:9-11). It is recorded that God the Father “raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places” (Eph 1:20). Ralph Earle notes the importance of Jesus' resurrection as follows: "Without the Resurrection the Crucifixion would have been in vain. It was the Resurrection which validated the atoning death of Jesus and gave it value. Paul describes it strikingly this way: “Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification” (Rom 4:25). The resurrection of Jesus proved that his sacrifice for sins had been accepted. The whole redemptive scheme would have fallen apart without it. For by his resurrection Jesus Christ became the first fruits of a new race, a new humanity."[1] Charles Ryrie adds: "In the classic passage, 1 Corinthians 15:3–8, Christ's death and resurrection are said to be “of first importance.” The Gospel is based on two essential facts: a Savior died and He lives. The burial proves the reality of His death. He did not merely faint only to be revived later. He died. The list of witnesses proves the reality of His resurrection. He died and was buried; He rose and was seen. Paul wrote of that same twofold emphasis in Romans 4:25: He was delivered for our offenses and raised for our justification. Without the Resurrection there is no Gospel…If Christ did not rise then our witness is false, our faith is without meaningful content, and our prospects for the future are hopeless (1 Cor 15:13–19). If Christ is not risen then believers who have died would be dead in the absolute sense without any hope of resurrection. And we who live could only be pitied for being deluded into thinking there is a future resurrection for them."[2]      The resurrection of Jesus is an essential element of the Christian gospel. Paul wrote, “Now I make known to you, brethren, the gospel which I preached to you” (1 Cor 15:1). And the content of the gospel Paul preached was “that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures” (1 Cor 15:3-4). Believing the gospel message means accepting this information as true, and then trusting in Christ as one's Savior. According to R.B. Thieme Jr., “First Corinthians 15:3-4 defines the boundaries of the Gospel, beginning with the work of Christ and ending with His resurrection…Any Gospel message that strays from the cross or denies Jesus Christ's resurrection from physical death is inaccurate and out of bounds.”[3]      Amazingly, there were some at the church in Corinth who taught “that there is no resurrection of the dead” (1 Cor 15:12). Paul addressed this issue head on, saying, “if there is no resurrection of the dead, not even Christ has been raised; and if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is vain, your faith also is useless…For if Christ has not been raised, your faith is worthless; you are still in your sins.” (1 Cor 15:13-14, 17). The clear teaching of Scripture is that “Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who are asleep” (1 Cor 15:20), and being “raised from the dead, is never to die again” (Rom 6:9). By His resurrection, Jesus proved that He overcame sin and death. Robert Mounce states: "Having been raised from the dead, Christ cannot die again. His resurrection was unlike that of Lazarus, who had to meet death once again. But Christ's resurrection broke forever the tyranny of death. That cruel master can no longer exercise any power over him. The cross was sin's final move; the resurrection was God's checkmate. The game is over. Sin is forever in defeat. Christ the victor died to sin “once for all” and lives now in unbroken fellowship with God."[4] Jesus' Ascension and Session      After Jesus' resurrection, he appeared to many on several occasions. His final appearance was to His apostles. Luke wrote, “And He led them out as far as Bethany, and He lifted up His hands and blessed them. While He was blessing them, He parted from them and was carried up into heaven” (Luke 24:50-51). And in Acts we're told, “He was lifted up while they were looking on, and a cloud received Him out of their sight” (Acts 1:9). It's important to note that Jesus ascended bodily into heaven, and that He will return the same way. Jesus' ascension into heaven was the beginning of His session at the right hand of God. Concerning Jesus's session, R. B. Thieme Jr. notes, “At His session, the humanity of Christ was ‘crowned with glory and honor' and exalted to a position far higher than the angels (Heb 2:9). The Father put all powers and authorities in subjection to His Son and confirmed the ultimate subjugation of all who oppose Him.”[5] Jesus is, right now, “at the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, after angels and authorities and powers had been subjected to Him” (1 Pet 3:22; cf., Eph 1:20), and He was “crowned with glory and honor” (Heb 2:9), and holds the title of “King of kings and Lord of lords” (Rev 19:16). According to Werner Foerster, “Session at the right hand of God means joint rule. It thus implies divine dignity, as does the very fact of sitting in God's presence.”[6] And Ryrie notes, “By His resurrection and ascension our Lord was positioned in the place of honor at the right hand of the Father to be Head over the church, His body (Eph 1:20–23).”[7] Walvoord notes: "In the ascension of the incarnate Christ to heaven, not only was the divine nature restored to its previous place of infinite glory, but the human nature was also exalted. It is now as the God-Man that He is at the right hand of God the Father. This demonstrates that infinite glory and humanity are compatible as illustrated in the person of Christ and assures the saint that though he is a sinner saved by grace he may anticipate the glory of God in eternity."[8]      Ryrie states, “The Ascension marked the end of the period of Christ's humiliation and His entrance into the state of exaltation…The Ascension having taken place, Christ then was ready to begin other ministries in behalf of His own and of the world.”[9] Lewis Chafer notes seven aspects of Jesus' current ministry in heaven. "Seven aspects of His present ministry are to be recognized, namely: (1) exercise of universal authority. He said of Himself, “All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth” (Matt 28:18); (2) Headship over all things to the Church (Eph 1:22–23); (3) bestowment and direction of the exercise of gifts (Rom 12:3–8; 1 Cor 12:4–31; Eph 4:7–11); (4) intercession, in which ministry Christ contemplates the weakness and immaturity of His own who are in the world (Psa 23:1; Rom 8:34; Heb 7:25); (5) advocacy, by which ministry He appears in defense of His own before the Father's throne when they sin (Rom 8:34; Heb 9:24; 1 John 2:1); (6) building of the place He has gone to prepare (John 14:1-3); and (7) “expecting” or waiting until the moment when by the Father's decree the kingdoms of this world shall become the kingdom of the Messiah—not by human agencies but by the resistless, crushing power of the returning King (Heb 10:13)."[10] Dr. Steven R.

Easter Sunday Homily The Keys of Heaven and Hell Fr. Brian Larkin Gary Larson “Sometimes we laugh and joke about things that are too serious for us to engage.”—Fr. Brian Larkin “Today is about heaven and hell. And today especially, today is the day of unbelievable joy. Today is the day that changes everything. You should walk out of church today with a joy that you can't even put into words.”—Fr. Brian Larkin “Heaven is real. And I wish it weren't, but hell is also real. And sometimes we don't quite understand how to engage that reality, and so it's easier to laugh at it.”—Fr. Brian Larkin “Reason has words, but only the lover sings.”—St. Augustine 
“To understand heaven and to understand how powerful today is, we have to understand what happened yesterday, on Holy Saturday.”—Fr. Brian Larkin Revelation 1:18 St. John is in heaven, and he has this vision of Jesus. He falls down at the feet of the Risen Christ, and Christ says, “Fear not. I am the first and the last, and the living one. I died, and behold, I am alive forevermore. I have the keys of death and of Hades.” “If anything should give you joy hope and life, it's this.”—Fr. Brian Larkin “In this life, all of us at different moments, experience some horrific fruits of that infernal place.”—Fr. Brian Larkin “Each one of us have moments where we feel we are not loved. We have relationships that end. We have the Evil One say to our hearts, ‘You are worthless.'”—Fr. Brian Larkin There are terrible things that Satan has wrought in this world. The gates of hell are locked from the inside. —C.S. Lewis If we lock that gate, we keep God out. “There are people in our world and in eternity who have locked themselves against God. And Jesus Christ holds the keys of death and of hell itself, and there is nothing greater than that.”—Fr. Brian Larkin “The sufferings of Jesus are not primarily physical, they are spiritual. And as Jesus bears the consequence for our sins, he goes to the depths.”—Fr. Brian Larkin Icon of the Resurrection: Jesus has the keys of death and of hell. Christ is reaching out his hands and pulling two people out of their tombs. Those two people are Adam and Eve. Underneath him are a thousand keys lying on the ground. This was inspired by Revelation 1:18 Brothers and Sisters, every one of us are putting forth a great look, but many of us in this church today have locked ourselves into prison. Jesus has the key to your prison. “His love that went to the depths has broken every bar, unlocked every chain, and can free every one of us for eternity. What amazing news!”—Fr. Brian Larkin “Get on your knees today and ask Jesus to free you from this prison.”—Fr. Brian Larkin “When you taste this, Sunday Mass is not a day of obligation. Sunday is the day of our freedom.”—Fr. Brian Larkin “Brothers and Sisters, our work is just getting started here at Lourdes. When you taste the goodness of Christ and his victory, the only proper response is for us to go out there and bring the good news to those who are in chains.”—Fr. Brian Larkin “Today is not just any day. Today is the day the Lord has made. Today is the day of our eternal joy.”—Fr. Brian Larkin “After Peter and St. John run to the tomb, they will spend the rest of their lives running out to the world to bring freedom to prisoners.”—Fr. Brian Larkin “Today is not just any day. Today is the day the Lord has made. Today is the day of our eternal joy.”—Fr. Brian Larkin “Jesus, renew our faith and our hope and our love. Bring life to those in death. You, who has conquered Satan and his Kingdom. We pray for anyone who has locked themselves in prison. Anyone whose sin has overpowered them. Jesus, You are the first and the last. You died, and behold, you live forevermore. Jesus, you have the keys of death and the keys of hell.”—Fr. Brian Larkin

In the Resurrection Jesus has defeated death- but where did death come from? We see in the beginning of Genesis that in the beginning Adam and Eve doubt God's goodness and His Word. In response to their sin they run from God and hide, but God chases after them, and invites them home. Application Question: How impactful has the Resurrection been for you this week?

The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the central and most important event in the Christian faith and affects all other doctrines. Watch and listen as to what the resurrection is and how we too will be resurrected like Jesus on the last day. Pastor Anthony Uvenio leads us through this most important doctrine.

What is Lent? Lent is a 40-day period built around three traditional pillars: prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. It's a time of preparation for Easter when the Resurrection Jesus is celebrated. During Lent, prayer is made by studying the Bible, serving others by giving alms, and developing self-control by fasting. It's a 40-day period to commemorate the 40 days Christ spent fasting in the desert and enduring temptation by Satan, according to the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke, before beginning his public ministry. Why is it observed in Christianity?Lent is a period of self-discipline that is still commemorated by Christians all over the globe as a way to prepare us for Easter, which is considered the holiest day of the year as it commemorates Jesus's resurrection. Living out Your Lent: 6 Perspectives of understanding the pillars of Lent Perspective 1: Deception (Alms & Prayer)[Jesus said in Matthew 6:1-6 NIV]   • POINT: Lent is a time to take off our masks and come as we are. Who we are is enough. • Q1. What masks do we need to remove?   Perspective 2: Testing (Fasting, & Testing)[Jesus was tested in the wilderness in Luke 4:1-13 NIV] …His responses to the devil:1. “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone'.” vs. 4.  2. “It is written: Worship the Lord your God and serve him only'.” vs. 8.3. “It is said: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.'”   • Lent is a time to test our steadfastness to trust in God in all things.   • Q2. What are we dealing with that is testing our trust in the OMNIS God?   Perspective 3:Persecution(Pushing through Persecution)[READ Luke 13:31-35 NIV – Jesus' response to some Pharisees who told him that Herod wanted to kill him] • Lent is a time to let go of our fear of people, the sin of comparison, or any other things that plague us. • Q3. What's that thing(s) that makes us flee from living out God's purpose for us?  Perspective 4:Repentance(Repentance is Essential)[Jesus declared in Luke 13:3 & 5 NIV, “But unless you repent, you too will all perish.” • Lent is a time to open the intimate and dirtiest parts of our closets and let God clean it out. • Q4. What are some ways we need to open the closets of our hearts, minds, and souls to God?  Perspective 5:Sacrifice(Mary's Costly Perfume)[In John 12:1-8, Mary took about a pint of her expense perfume and poured it on Jesus' feet and wipe his feet with her hair.] • Lent is a time to willingly give all we have to God. • Q5. What might we generously give to God. If it doesn't cost you, it's not a sacrifice.  Perspective 6:Demonstration(Living it out beyond the 40-days)[Psalms 118:1-4 says, “Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever. Let Israel say, his love endures forever. Let the house of Aaron say, his love endures forever. Let those who fear the Lord say, his love endures forever.”] [Continue reading Psalms 118:19-29] – When there is consistent Thanksgiving, in our heart and lips, we live like citizens of heaven, not just for 40 days, but for a lifetime. • Lent is a time to evaluate the purpose of our lives. • Q6.What might it look like for us to proceed with righteous intent? Subscribe to The Wander Box  today!!Connect with SLU:InstagramRegister for SLULearn more about The LIFT TourLearn more about YPSConnect with our Hosts:Brent's InstagramBrent's TwitterJeff's InstagramJeff's Twitter

How did the Apostle Paul go from being an enemy of Christians to defender of the faith? There would be no benefit for an enemy of the church to lie about his conversion to the faith, to preach openly and establish churches or to give them correction.  After the Resurrection Jesus appeared to Paul and chose him to herald the gospel. Paul's deep knowledge of the word lays out the basis for our hope in the Resurrection, the promise of eternal life.

Catechism of the Catholic Church Paragraphs: - 440 (In 'Christ') - Jesus accepted Peter's profession of faith, which acknowledged him to be the Messiah, by announcing the imminent Passion of the Son of Man. He unveiled the authentic content of his messianic kingship both in the transcendent identity of the Son of Man “who came down from heaven,” and in his redemptive mission as the suffering Servant: “The Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” Hence the true meaning of his kingship is revealed only when he is raised high on the cross. Only after his Resurrection will Peter be able to proclaim Jesus' messianic kingship to the People of God: “Let all the house of Israel therefore know assuredly that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified.” - 2616 (In 'Jesus hears our prayer') - Prayer to Jesus is answered by him already during his ministry, through signs that anticipate the power of his death and Resurrection: Jesus hears the prayer of faith, expressed in words (the leper, Jairus, the Canaanite woman, the good thief) (abbreviated). - 1021 (In 'The Particular Judgement') - Death puts an end to human life as the time open to either accepting or rejecting the divine grace manifested in Christ. The New Testament speaks of judgment primarily in its aspect of the final encounter with Christ in his second coming, but also repeatedly affirms that each will be rewarded immediately after death in accordance with his works and faith. The parable of the poor man Lazarus and the words of Christ on the cross to the good thief, as well as other New Testament texts speak of a final destiny of the soul—a destiny which can be different for some and for others. - 2266 (In 'Legitimate Defense') - The efforts of the state to curb the spread of behavior harmful to people's rights and to the basic rules of civil society correspond to the requirement of safeguarding the common good. Legitimate public authority has the right and the duty to inflict punishment proportionate to the gravity of the offense. Punishment has the primary aim of redressing the disorder introduced by the offense. When it is willingly accepted by the guilty party, it assumes the value of expiation. Punishment then, in addition to defending public order and protecting people's safety, has a medicinal purpose: as far as possible, it must contribute to the correction of the guilty party.
