series: easter part#1

We start our 2023 Easter Series with the first time in the Bible a Savior is needed, the Garden of Eden and the fall of mankind.

The death of Jesus is the cente of Christian faith. Come and listen with us as we consider the significance of this moment for the world and life today.

"Jesus wants to call you brother, he wants to call you sister, but you have to fall down at the whisper of His voice and say 'I will give you my life.'" http://Wilsonville.Church/YetFilled

We will be doing a three week series to examine the final words of Christ on the Cross. This is week 1.

Pastor Bobby begins an Easter series, exploring the Why questions of Easter.

"Christ is Risen - Wearing Our Easter Clothes" is our 2017 Easter service. Pastor Chalane talks to us about what it means to wear our Easter clothes. Ephesians 4:22-24 (NIV) "You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness."

The story of the skeptic Thomas illustrates what an elusive thing faith is. Can a person simply decide to believe something? Is it possible to 'will' faith into being? How is it that we come to accept something as true, when it seems impossible or highly unlikely? Thomas could not believe that Jesus was alive unless he could actually touch the scars in His hands and side. Jesus granted his wish, but what about us? We do not get the same opportunity to examine the resurrected body of Jesus. Is our faith, then, just a blind leap? The account of Thomas help us understand the nature of faith and what is required for our faith to exist and grow stronger. We learn that faith is both a process and a pursuit.

The first message in our series for Easter 2017.

Jesus comes to Jerusalem as a king, but in peace

Jesus comes to Jerusalem as a king, but in peace

Today, we look at two people that followed Christ and who or what they were devoted to and how that detail impacts our lives and our decisions.

When Jesus rose from the dead, it was an event that was new, significant, and something that forces us to look at our lives with a new retrospective --- it's a black swan event.
