In many European countries, early on Easter Monday, the girls come out of their homes wearing traditional red, black and white folkloric dress. The young men walk down the streets, also in traditional dress of high black boots, black hats, white shirts and cream-colored trousers. The men follow the girls playing instruments and the older women of...The Immediate Word

“I have seen the Lord.” (v. 18)
Happy Easter morning boys and girls,
Today I have the best news ever to share with you. Are you ready to hear it? (children respond) First, notice I have a container (box or can) with a lid on it. Inside we will find ____________. (for example: oreo cookies, legos etc.)
So let's see what...StoryShare

This Doesn’t Make Sense
by C. David McKirachan
Acts 10:34-43
Resurrection is weird, to say the least. It violates the basic rule of life. Rules are easy to break. A simple lapse or a conspiracy, we’ve known both. We’ve experienced both. We’ve been a part of both. Perhaps with glee, perhaps with anxiety and pain, the boundaries of rules are...Emphasis Preaching Journal
Easter Day - CCommentaryFrank Ramirez
It can not only be hard, but in some cases not possible to say much at all on Easter morning, what with Easter Breakfast, perhaps a cantata, a children’s choir, and an Easter egg hunt swallowing up any space you might have for preaching. But this is the central message of our faith. Jesus is Risen. This changes everything.
Now do not despair. You can preach Easter every Sunday. For...The Village Shepherd
Easter Day - CSermonJanice B. Scott
We Christians are often reckoned to be a sad bunch, at least in the opinion of non-Christian western society. And sometimes, I think they're right. We must seem a bit pathetic to normal red-blooded human beings as we go to church each Sunday, singing hymns and indulging in all kinds of odd rituals, when we could be cleaning the car or shopping or playing sport or otherwise enjoying...SermonStudio

The prophet’s words in Isaiah speak volumes about Jesus. If you read the words through our lens from the 21st century, it is clear these words describe the humble birth and beginnings of the life of Jesus, the humble life of ministry he shared, the scorn and ridicule her received from the powerful, and the tortuous end of his life. Be from our...StoryShare

Good Friday morning (evening) children,
Today I am feeling very quiet. You know why? It is a holy day, a somber day.

Good Friday - CCommentaryDavid Kalas
From time to time, I’ll hear someone ask a speculative question that begins, “If a space alien showed up on earth, what would he think about...” The idea is to try to imagine what an outsider sees. If we could find someone without any familiarity or preconceived notions, what would he or she see and think.
With some matters, we may not need a space alien. In the increasingly “post...SermonStudio
Good Friday - CSermonDonald Charles Lacy
So much happening in so little time! We are left gasping for breath. We stagger under the weight of the mighty arm of historical occurrence. You and I praise God because we know the rest of the story. Those present did not know how things would turn out. They must have been like awestruck children nearing exasperation.
Those of us who have read and perhaps studied the great writers...Emphasis Preaching Journal

Maundy Thursday - CCommentaryWayne Brouwer
In the blackness, in the bleakness, we need to sense God’s presence. We need to know that God is there, even if, like Job, we do not understand what is happening around us and inside of us. “The restless millions wait for the Light,” says George Bernanos, “Whose dawning maketh all things new.”
This is the dilemma of Israel in Egypt. This is the struggle of life in Corinth. This is the...SermonStudio
Maundy Thursday - CSermonDavid Kalas
We have a table before us. It is a familiar table; we have gathered around it together countless times before. It features the cherished elements of bread and wine; and taken together, those elements on this table form a sacrament.
Across the many traditions within the Christian church, we call this sacrament by different names. The Roman Catholics refer to the Mass, while the Eastern...
