"Resurrection Encounter...In the Word of Promise"
Preaching: Senior Pastor Ben Roberts
Worship Leader: Associate Pastor Mark Stapleton
Old Testament Reading: Isaiah 25:6-9
Epistle: 1 Corinthians 15:1-11
Holy Gospel: Mark 16:1-8
Hallelujah! Christ is risen, He is risen indeed! But…IS He? In the “resurrection” account from the Gospel of Mark, no one actually SEES Jesus risen from the dead. They only have the words from a “man” in a white robe: “He has risen; He is not here…you will see Him, just as He told you.” As we begin our Easter series, “Resurrection Encounters”, we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord by meeting Him in a place where the angel promises He will be: His Word. Even though we don’t see Jesus alive…either in Mark or currently in our lives…His Word of promise guarantees that He is alive and present with us always!

New Sermon Series
Resurrection Encounters: Where Our Risen Lord Meets Us In Our Life With Him
Christ is risen! He is risen, indeed! The Good News of the resurrection of Jesus Christ is the bedrock of our faith. But while the certainty of the resurrection drives our faith, hope and love, we experience it as Peter names it: “Though you have not seen Him, you love Him.” (1 Peter 1:8) That’s because our resurrected Lord has not left us alone; He comes to us in ways that show the power of His resurrection is present for us even now. In this Easter series, “Resurrection Encounters”, we will look at the many ways the resurrected Jesus promises to be with His people. In each of these “encounters”, we have the promise that the risen Lord is really present, strengthening our faith, deepening our hope and empowering our love for others.
