Podcasts about risen jesus

Last Thursday marked the beginning of Pentecost, also known as the Festival of Weeks—or Shavuot in Hebrew. Celebrated seven weeks after Passover, it was one of Israel's major pilgrimage festivals and the very occasion during which the Holy Spirit was poured out upon the disciples in Acts 2.This teaching conclude our series, Encounters with the Risen Jesus, by exploring the significance of the coming of the Holy Spirit and why this moment became such a major turning point in the story of the early church.visit us at: conejochurch.com

Ascension SundayIn many parts of Europe—including Austria, Germany, Switzerland, and France—Ascension Thursday is still recognized as a public holiday and day off work. Too bad for us! The ascension is often overlooked—and yet the early church viewed it as absolutely essential. Why does Jesus ascend? What does it mean that He is seated at the right hand of God? And why did the disciples respond to His departure not with sadness, but with joy? In this sermon, we continue our series, Encounters with the Risen Jesus, as we explore the meaning and significance of the ascension.visit us at: conejochurch.com

The Risen Jesus shares final words with Disciples then ascends into Heaven. Two angels interrupt the disciples' gaze with the command, "Stop looking up!"

In this Easter message we will explore 3 powerful ways the risen Jesus meets us in our lives.

Daily Dose of Hope May 4, 2026   Scripture: 2 Timothy 3   Prayer:  Almighty God and Risen Jesus, King of Kings and Lord of Lords, We come before you today with praise and a sense of awe. Even though you are incredibly mighty and take care of us in such fundamental ways, we struggle to stay focused on our faith.  Help us gather our scattered and distracted thoughts.  Help us take a moment of silence and remember who you are...Holy Spirit, speak to us today.  We want to hear your voice.  In Your Name, Amen.   Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, the devotional and podcast that complements the New Hope daily Bible reading plan.  We are almost done with our letters from Paul.  What a journey it's been!  I would love to hear what you have learned from these thirteen letters.  We will finish this reading plan on Tuesday, and then go directly into the names of God.  If you were in worship today, I hoped you picked up the new reading plan.  If not, or if you live outside our geographical area, then there will soon be a link on our website and our Facebook page.    Today's reading is 2 Timothy 3.  In this third chapter, we find Paul giving Timothy advice about staying strong in the faith.  The world will always be a source of temptation and evil, there will be false teachers, and there will be many challenges.  He tells Timothy to stay grounded in what Paul taught him and in Scripture.   In order to not be swayed by the winds of the world (no matter what century one lives in), we have to be grounded in God's Word.  God's Word is authoritative and offers us a basic instruction manual of sorts.  While we don't understand every story and verse, there is a purpose for every single word.   Some of my favorite Scripture from Paul is Colossians 2:6-7, So then, just as you received Jesus Christ as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.  Just as in Paul's time, the world will bear down on us, providing all kinds of temptations and distractions.  We have to commit to grow our roots down deep into Scripture so that we won't be uprooted and swayed when hardship, challenges, and temptation enter our world.  Obviously, we need to do this as individuals but we also have to commit to do this as a body of believers.  We meet Jesus on the pages of Scripture AND God's Word provides a metric by which we can measure everything in our lives.  It's essential.  Together, rooted in Scripture, we will be immovable.   Blessings, Pastor Vicki  

Fifth Sunday of Easter, May 3, 2026 The Season of Easter is a 50-day Celebration of the Fact that Christ is Risen. What Difference Does It Make?

The most important event in all of history was the resurrection of Jesus. The Son of God was dead and buried but raised to new life, defeating sin and death. Yet we are often left asking ourselves, "What does the resurrection of Jesus mean for me? What does it matter?" There are several instances in Scripture in which certain individuals had personal encounters with the Risen Lord Jesus after his resurrection. These encounters with the risen Jesus changed these individuals forever. In our new series, "Seeing is Believing: Face to face with the risen Jesus," we will be looking at four particular encounters people in the Scripture had with the Lord Jesus himself post-resurrection, that we may see how a personal relationship with the risen Lord Jesus may impact our lives today. This week, our Espanol campus pastor, Alfredo, teaches on the life of Paul. Paul had one of the most profound transformations we see in all of Scripture. Paul went from persecuting Christians to being one of history's greatest missionaries and writing the majority of the New Testament. What transformed Paul was his personal encounter with the Lord Jesus.  We hope you're encouraged by this podcast!

Thomas is popularly referred to as "doubting Thomas." When we look at the story of Thomas and ask ourselves why it was that he doubted the resurrection, we can easily see what it is that causes us to doubt as well. More importantly, we see Jesus' response to our doubts and what he offers. He offers doubters his presence, his peace, and the proof of his love and power over sin.  We hope you're encouraged by this podcast! If you have questions about our church or what it means to follow Jesus, we'd love to hear from you! Check out our Instagram @fellowshipya, website www.fellowshipar.com/young-adults, or send us an email at youngadults@fellowshipar.com.

In this sermon from 1 Corinthians 15:12–34, we confront one of the most foundational questions of the Christian faith: What if the resurrection isn't real? The Apostle Paul doesn't treat that as a minor theological error—he exposes it as a devastating collapse of the entire gospel. If Christ has not been raised, then our faith is empty, our hope is fragile, and death still has the final word. But Paul doesn't leave us in that darkness.This message walks through the powerful truth that Jesus is not a good teacher buried in a grave—He is the risen King who reigns. His resurrection is not symbolic or merely spiritual; it is bodily, and victorious. And because He is the “firstfruits,” His resurrection guarantees ours. From there, we see how the resurrection reshapes everything. It gives us endurance in suffering, courage in the face of death, and purpose in everyday life. The risen Jesus is not only proof of life after death—He is the reigning Davidic King who has defeated sin, disarmed the enemy, and is putting all things under His feet. That means we don't just wait for resurrection—we live in light of it.This sermon calls us to reject empty faith, embrace living hope, and step fully into the responsibility of life in God's kingdom—marked by righteousness, justice, and sacrificial love.Because the tomb is empty… Jesus reigns.

Fr. John and Mary continue their Easter series on appearances of the Risen Jesus to disciples. Today, they look at Jesus' encounter with the two disciples on the road to Emmaus — could these people be members of His family?!

In some churches the second Sunday of the Easter season is known as Divine Mercy Sunday. When reading John's account of Jesus' appearance with His disciples we see His divine mercy take concrete form. Like the disciples, we are invited to meet the Risen Jesus with all of our senses. And like them, it is in repentance and trust in Him that we can respond with joy in a world full of fear and doubts, because our salvation is not based on theology, but in meeting the Person of Jesus Himself.

In Revelation 19:11-16 we see that the risen Jesus rules over history now and will one day return to defeat evil and establish His righteous reign.

Fear has a way of paralyzing us, distorting reality, and trapping us in "survival mode." Whether it is the fear of death, the sting of rejection, or the weight of past disappointments, we all have "locked rooms" in our hearts where we hide.In Part 3 of our series "Days After," we see the Risen Jesus walk through those locked doors to speak a definitive word: Peace. In this message, we re-examine "Doubting Thomas"—not as a skeptic, but as a man using disbelief as a defense mechanism against trauma.

FAITH IS… with Pastor Rick Stevens – This reflection explores what it means to think like a Christian, grounding belief in biblical truth. It highlights Thomas not for doubt but for faith, pointing to the resurrection of Jesus as the ultimate reason to trust Him as a reliable and enduring source of truth for everyday life today...

Can you think of areas of your life right now, where you're not seeing Jesus beside you even though you know He's there? Look at the story of the two men who the risen Jesus talked to on the Emmaus road.visit us at: conejochurch.com

Peter is a character in the Bible with a fair share of both highs and lows. In this message, Brent highlights both the worst and greatest moments in Peter's life. Peter denied Jesus three times the night he was betrayed, yet in the book of Acts, Peter's monumental sermon at Pentecost is what sparked the explosion of the church. What changed between these two events? What changed the course of Peter's life after he betrayed his Lord? It wasn't Peter's own efforts, or his own self-righteousness; it was by receiving forgiveness from the Lord Jesus after his resurrection. What does this mean for us? It means that Jesus was rejected so we will never be, Jesus defeated death so we never have to live in fear of it, and Jesus offers forgiveness and restoration if we will follow Him.  We hope you're encouraged by this podcast! If you have questions about our church or what it means to follow Jesus, we'd love to hear from you! Check out our Instagram @fellowshipya, website www.fellowshipar.com/young-adults, or send us an email at youngadults@fellowshipar.com.

Fr. John and Mary continue their Easter series on select appearances of the Risen Jesus to disciples. Today, they pray with the appearance of Jesus to Mary Magdalene, a woman who had been mightily freed by His power and mercy, and was sent as “the apostle to the apostles.” Books mentioned: Mary Magdalene: Insights from Ancient Magdala, Saint Mary Magdalene: Prophetess of Eucharistic Love Connect with us and our community on our websites and social media.

In Revelation 5:1-14 we see that the risen Jesus reigns in heaven and is actively shepherding His people here on earth.

The risen Jesus transforms the disciples' fear into joy, a timeless message because we are a fearful people. Jesus' bodily resurrection speaks to our deepest questions about God, showing that God cares for us and can change our lives.

Trials expose our weaknesses and they prove and purify us. The Risen Jesus brought great peace, strength, and unity to the early Christian community. The same Risen Jesus stands in our midst and offers us peace when we are ready to receive it.

When the disciples encounter the resurrected Jesus, mourning is turned to joy, fear into boldness, and doubt into vivacious faith. In this sermon, Chandler McCosh explores the surprising kindness of Jesus in John 20:19-31 towards his fearful disciples, towards Thomas in his doubt, and towards an unlikely group of people in the story – us!

Friends of the Rosary,Alleluia! Christ is Risen!Today, Saturday within Octave of Easter, we see in the Gospel of Mark 16:9-15 Jesus appearing to Mary Magdalene, the two disciples on the road, and to the Eleven.Mary Magdalene proclaimed her encounter with the living Christ, and the disciples rejected her testimony. Also, when the two disciples from Emmaus returned with their witness, they too were met with disbelief. Finally, Jesus appeared to the Eleven and rebuked them for their unbelief and their hardness of heart before commissioning them to preach to all creation.It's a stunning paradox at the heart of Christianity: the Risen Jesus entrusted us with the greatest announcement in human history, and the disciples then — and we today — refused to believe.The hardness of heart (sklērokardia in Greek) is not mere doubt but structural resistance, a shell that has formed around the soul.Jesus must break through this resistance before He can send them forth. "Go into all the world and proclaim the Gospel to every creature," is commissioning us.His persistence—appearing once, twice, three times in different forms—demonstrates that God never tires of knocking at the door of our unbelief.It is precisely the broken, the doubting, and the unbelieving who become the messengers of hope.Our fragility is not an obstacle to mission—it is the very material from which God builds His Church.Happy Easter!Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

God's favorite strategy hasn't changed: He still uses ordinary people to do extraordinary things. Whether you're running a business or just showing up to do your best after a long, fruitless night, the Risen Jesus meets you right in the middle of your workday.  Your office, your kitchen, or your boat is exactly where He wants to turn your ordinary effort into an extraordinary blessing for others. #FULLTANKwithBroBo​ #FULLTANKwithBroBo2026​ #BoSanchez​ #OrdinaryPeople​ #John21​ #FaithInAction​ #SpiritualMaturity​ #TrulyRichClub​ #Purpose​ #MarketplaceMinistry​ #GodAtWork​ #BlessingOthers​--- PS.

Easter: The Fullness of Life for Us, Luke 24, Pastor Kyle Fellows

After his resurrection, Jesus didn't seek crowds or celebrations. He personally addressed three types of people: the sorrowful, the skeptical, and the shameful. Which one are you? The risen Jesus is calling your name, answering your questions, and pursuing you with love - no matter what you've done or where you've been. Are you ready to hear him?

Jesus' resurrection isn't supposed to just change history—it's supposed to change you and me. The New Testament everywhere says we should expect to encounter the risen Christ. And that's how our lives are changed.  Peter is a case study for us, because we have here the story of how the resurrected Christ sat down with Peter at the fire by the Sea of Galilee—about how Peter's life had fallen apart and how the risen Christ put it back together. How do we, too, meet and encounter the risen Christ?  We learn four principles here: if you want to encounter the risen Christ, 1) you have to believe in the resurrection's reality, 2) you have to understand its achievement, 3) you have to submit to its pattern, and 4) you have to live its life. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on April 27, 2014. Series: Following Jesus. Scripture: Mark 14:27-31.

The road to Emmaus is in many ways a model of Christian experience. It's a description of the journey of faith. We walk it again and again. And the risen Jesus draws near to us on the journey.

Happy Resurrection Day! For this year's Easter episode I will compare the Jesus of the Bible to the Isa (Jesus) of the Quran. Surah 4:157-158 says that Jesus wasn't crucified or killed but everyone thought that happened somehow. Rather, Allah raised Jesus to heaven. Jesus in Islam will eventually return for some end-times events. After reigning as a king, he will die of natural causes.The risen Jesus of the Bible is infinitely better than the raised Isa of the Quran.Sources cited:Surah An-Nisa Ayat 157 (4:157 Quran) With Tafsir, MyIslam.org.Have questions for Truthspresso?

The post The Risen Jesus appeared first on Grace Fellowship Church.

Saving faith in Jesus' resurrection is belief treasured in our hearts, openly confessed, and transformative in our lives. We are freed from sin, shame, and condemnation as we are justified and clothed in His righteousness. All who believe and declare Jesus as Lord receive mercy, grace, and salvation.

Life is scary. Matthew's report of the resurrection of Jesus does not erase this truth. In fact, the first witnesses of Jesus' resurrection were afraid even as they worshipped the Risen Jesus. But Jesus gives us two gifts when we are afraid: 1/ a merciful response to our fear, and 2/ a purposeful mission. We will explore both this Easter Sunday.

The thirteenth station: The Road to Emmaus. Two disciples walk away… confused, discouraged, and heartbroken. And Jesus walks with them — but they don't recognize Him. Not until one moment. The breaking of the bread. And suddenly… everything changes. At every Mass, we witness His death… and His resurrection. The Body and Blood are separated — and then brought back together. And we proclaim: “Lamb of God…” This is not just a symbol. This is the Risen Jesus.
