Sunday's Sermon: "Resurrection Nearness"
Calamity often works like a giant eraser, cleaning out our mental tapes and wiping away all that we thought we understood. Luke tells of two men walking hurriedly away from Jerusalem, hoping to hit Emmaus by nightfall. Their journey was fueled by the adrenaline that one possesses when life crumbles and survival is the order of the day. They are together, yet alone - or so they thought. A stranger draws near, to whom they quickly vent their troubles. "We had hoped that he was the one to redeem Israel," they say. He doesn't give homey advice or allow them to indulge their self-pity. Instead he draws them back to what they know, the Scriptures, and teaches them again the things that drew them to follow him in the first place. Join us Easter morning for "Resurrection Nearness"!
