Sermons on Death
On this resurrection Sunday, we look at the grip death has on this world, and how Christ has set us free from that grip, giving us hope in resurrection. We have good news to share, Christ is risen!
We find that Jesus has humbled himself, given it all up to die and show us the way to resurrection. What does it mean for us to fall into the rhythm of God in this world? We talk about how we often try to make temporal things eternal, and our calling is to allow them…
“If you confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.” We hear and dwell upon this good news
Craig shares a homily on this Ash Wednesday, kicking off the season of Lent where we practice dying.
Here we have our final stop in 1 Corinthians for the year, once again focusing on the issue of resurrection. We see that God is not done with this place or these bodies, and we should not have our eyes on escape, but instead place our hope in resurrection.
Paul brings our attention to the resurrection of the dead, and we are reminded that our hope is not to “go to heaven” when we die, but to experience bodily resurrection, like Christ.
Jumping to 1 Corinthians 15, Paul brings our focus to the bodily death and resurrection of Jesus.
We take a look at the long and wild journey of Absalom, who was close to successfully overthrowing the reign of David in a coup. We focus in on the idea of justice – what is true justice in the kingdom of God?
Jesus shows the disciples the wounds in his hands and the wound in his side, and when they see the wounds, they come to believe. We discuss trauma, grief, and what it means that in Jesus, woundedness has been made holy.
