road to emmaus

On the Road to Emmaus, in the walking, talking, and breaking of bread – they experience the Risen Christ and the power of Resurrection – in the fullness of life – in every step – in every word – in every taste, sight, sound, smell, and touch.

This Resurrection Sunday Ps Wei Yi shares with us the significance of how Jesus appeared to two disciples immediately following the resurrection and revealed Himself in all the scriptures. We join them in together proclaiming: Christ is Risen, He is Risen Indeed!

Luke 24:13-35

Last week we discussed David's long, sad processional out from Jerusalem towards the borders of Israel, showing kindness and humility and trust in God's will along the way.  Today we connect David's journey to Jesus, Who took a reverse long, sad procession towards Jerusalem.  Jesus' journey is beautiful and powerful enough to change outsiders to insiders, as He marches towards the difficult will of His Father.

Also, since this is a shorter sermon, and because CCBC is full of hilarious people, we've added some extra bonus material, including a communion meditation and portion of a song that both connect with the sermon, a Scripture reading from a special young lady, Chris getting a whistle blown on him for preaching too long, and Abe making a very hilarious PG-13 confession!

Stories about bread take us deep into the heart of the most basic human need.  And we find God there. In the bread we break, the Risen Christ makes us bread for the world.

On the day of the resurrection, two followers of Christ were walking home to Emmaus, discouraged and disillusioned about the events of the past few days. All that they thought was going to happen seemed lost, their hope destroyed. But as a third traveler joins them, he begins to explain from the Scriptures what was to happen to the Messiah. Soon enough, the two discouraged travelers discover their new companion is Jesus himself. Jesus adjusted their expectations, He realigned them with biblical reality and that changed their total perspective. Are you discouraged? Pastor Tim has some suggestions for you today if you are!

In this episode we introduce the Bless The Refreshments podcast and it's hosts, Jonny, Burgess and Tyson. We are faithful members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. We describe our goal for the show, which is to have a meaningful, fun and authentic conversation about the gospel each week. We hope that this will lead to greater faith and better friendship. We also hope we can help other people on their spiritual journey as well. We end the show by sharing our favorite Easter scriptures.
