This week, Pastor Darrell Bierman shares the names and attributes of God, which will give you a fresh perspective into His character and heart. Be sure to join us this Sunday and experience who God is in a new way.

Pastor Peter W. Marty preaches on Easter Sunday. Life is stronger than death and despair is not permanent. While none of us know exactly what resurrection will look like, not until it happens to us, Paul makes clear that it is stitched into our lives in a daily way and we can come to know and trust the shape of resurrection through small signs in our lives.

The history of testing is troubling and it's been revealed how biased and even harmful tests can be. In the familiar passage of the binding of Isaac, God is giving the test. This story of God asking Abraham to sacrifice his child and Abraham proceeding to carry out this test without challenge or question is a troubling one for those of us who believe in a loving and merciful God. We ask, "How could God have done this?" But maybe that's the wrong question. How can we find more liberation in asking, "How is this liberating for those who tell it?" or "Why would a people tell this story of testing about their God and their patriarch?"Sermon begins at minute 03:42 Scripture: Genesis 21.1-3; 22.1-14Image: Photo by Green Chameleon on UnsplashPermission to podcast the music in this service obtained from One License with license #A-726929.

Easter tells a story about freedom that can speak so relevantly in these times. It can speak to a freedom that some of us might not know very well. A freedom that we just aren't living daily as we could. A freedom that some of us might need to be reacquainted with in times where we have been pushed to our limits of patience and endurance.

Scripture:Luke 24:1-12 (NRSV)24 But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they came to the tomb, taking the spices that they had prepared. 2 They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, 3 but when they went in, they did not find the body. 4 While they were perplexed about this, suddenly two men in dazzling clothes stood beside them. 5 The women were terrified and bowed their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, “Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here, but has risen. 6 Remember how he told you, while he was still in Galilee, 7 that the Son of Man must be handed over to sinners, and be crucified, and on the third day rise again.” 8 Then they remembered his words, 9 and returning from the tomb, they told all this to the eleven and to all the rest. 10 Now it was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them who told this to the apostles. 11 But these words seemed to them an idle tale, and they did not believe them. 12 But Peter got up and ran to the tomb; stooping and looking in, he saw the linen cloths by themselves; then he went home, amazed at what had happened.1 Corinthians 15:8-24 (NRSV)8 Last of all, as to one untimely born, he appeared also to me. 9 For I am the least of the apostles, unfit to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10 But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me has not been in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them—though it was not I, but the grace of God that is with me. 11 Whether then it was I or they, so we proclaim and so you have come to believe.The Resurrection of the Dead12 Now if Christ is proclaimed as raised from the dead, how can some of you say there is no resurrection of the dead? 13 If there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ has not been raised; 14 and if Christ has not been raised, then our proclamation has been in vain and your faith has been in vain. 15 We are even found to be misrepresenting God, because we testified of God that he raised Christ—whom he did not raise if it is true that the dead are not raised. 16 For if the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised. 17 If Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins. 18 Then those also who have died in Christ have perished. 19 If for this life only we have hoped in Christ, we are of all people most to be pitied.20 But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have died. 21 For since death came through a human being, the resurrection of the dead has also come through a human being; 22 for as all die in Adam, so all will be made alive in Christ. 23 But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, then at his coming those who belong to Christ. 24 Then comes the end, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father, after he has destroyed every ruler and every authority and power.Worship Set“How Deep The Father’s Love For Us” - Staurt Townend“Christ The Lord Is Risen Today” - Charles Wesley, NCC Worship“Because He Lives” - Matt Maher, William J.
