God Has The Last Word! ... from SermonStudio \| Sermons \| Lectionary \| Acts 10:34-43 \| from the book Sermons On The First Readings \| Charles D. Reeb \|
It is amazing how sounds will stir the mind and heart. For instance, music has a marvelous way of igniting an array of emotions. Someone can listen to a song, close their eyes, and feel once again the exhilaration of their first kiss or the bittersweet memory of love that was lost. A note or two of music can resonate >> More

Easter Day ... from SermonStudio \| Preaching \| Lectionary \| Acts 10:34-43 \| from the book Preaching and Reading the Old Testament Lessons: \| Elizabeth Achtemeier \|
We have a crowd here today on this Easter Sunday. Churches are always crowded on Easter. As the prophet Isaiah would say, the multitudes literally trample the courts of God.

Where's Jesus? ... from SermonStudio \| Stories \| Lectionary \| Luke 24:1-12 \| from the book Lectionary Tales For The Pulpit \| Timothy F. Merrill \|
I have a hobby that some people might think odd, if not perverse. I like to take pictures of the tombstones of famous people. That's why, in my travels, I visit the local cemetery. I've visited the catacombs in Rome and in Paris -- full of dead men's bones, unknown and forgotten by history. But visit Arlington National Cemetery and you'll find >> More

Resurrection And Remembrance ... from SermonStudio \| Sermons \| Lectionary \| Luke 24:1-12 \| from the book Sermons On The Gospel Readings \| Frank G. Honeycutt \|
Down through the centuries there have been various and sundry attempts to try to discredit the resurrection of Jesus -- some amusing, some rather outrageous. The "stolen body" hypothesis is perhaps the most popular among the many explanations. This theory supposes that grave robbers tampered with the tomb and moved the corpse of Christ in the middle of the night. >> More

In Fact ... from SermonStudio \| Sermons \| Lectionary \| 1 Corinthians 15:19-26 \| from the book Sermons On The Second Readings \| Dallas A. Brauninger \|
On first reading of Paul's message to the Corinthians, two parts stand out: The first is a phrase, "In fact." Paul said, "But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have died" (v. 20). The second is his comment, "The last enemy to be destroyed is death" (v. 26). First, "In fact." Fact >> More

Our first grandchild died two months shy of his fourth birthday. Chad was a beautiful little boy who was severely handicapped, unable to walk or talk, and fed most of his short life through a tube connected to his stomach through his abdominal wall. He was also given four medications to control seizures. Chad could smile and laugh, though, and >> More

Easter ... from SermonStudio \| Worship \| Lectionary \| from the book Lectionary Worship Workbook \| Wayne H. Keller \|
Easter The Season Of The Resurrection Liturgical Color: White (Easter to Pentecost) Christianity focuses on, and revolves around, Easter Day. (No such term as Easter Sunday exists.)

The Easter season begins on the eve >> More

He Commanded Us To Preach ... from SermonStudio \| Sermons \| Lectionary/Lent-Easter \| Acts 10:34-43 \| from the book Deformed, Disfigured, And Despised \| Carlyle Fielding Stewart III \|
Opposition to preaching the risen Christ and reaching the Gentiles emerged early in the ministry of the apostles. Peter and the others quickly found themselves on the front lines of defense against attacks regarding the cogency and credibility of the message they were preaching. Emboldened by the presence and power of the Holy Ghost, many of the apostles gained renewed >> More

Belief Becoming ... from SermonStudio \| Sermons \| Lectionary/Lent-Easter \| John 20:1-18 \| from the book Living Vertically \| John N. Brittain \|
It is the universal witness of the Gospels that it was women who came and discovered the fulfilled promise of the resurrection early on that first day of the week. The stories vary, but it was always women. This is a good thing, because the women in the Gospels strike closer to where most of my friends and I are >> More

The French are not speaking to each other, and we should be concerned. Vanishing are those French cafés of the 1950s which dotted the streets on the Left Bank of the Seine in Paris, the places where Albert Camus and Jean-Paul Sartre held court, and the exchange of ideas flowed as freely as the wine. Then the French talked to >> More
