The first witnesses of Jesus' resurrection began with the historical fact that stumps skeptics to this day. The Riddle of the Empty Tomb is the challenge every Christian needs to understand inside and out in order to appreciate exactly what the Gospel is to them and what it could mean to those it's being shared with.

1. The Empty Tomb is a verifiable fact of History.
2. The Empty Tomb verifies Jesus' promises.
3. The Empty Tomb is a foreshadowing of our future.

Great Expectations

September 4, 2022 • Scott Richards • Acts 1:3–11, Luke 24:51–53, Zechariah 14:4–5, Hebrews 10:25

Jesus has physically ascended into Heaven in the presence of His disciples. Before doing so, He provided them the same blessing explained in the Old Testament as belonging to everyone who belongs to God and trusts His promises. In knowing what those promises are, we also benefit from the blessing that accompanies them. The most significant of which was His promise to return to the exact place He departed from us. 1. Jesus wants to invest blessings as He's defined them into your life. 2. Jesus wants to invest His promises as He's given them to our lives. 3. Jesus wants to invest His love into our lives so it can be shared with those who don't know it.

Three For the Road

August 28, 2022 • Scott Richards • Luke 24:36–49, John 14:19, John 20:19–20, John 15:5

Jesus' post-resurrection appearances were done intentionally to demonstrate several things. First, the historical reality of Jesus' resurrection. Second, the kind of bodies we can expect when we are resurrected. And third, who enables us to live the Christian life to begin with. 1. The Resurrection of Jesus Christ is the reason we trust His word above any other religious worldview. 2. The Bible is our source of information about what God claimed and how He verified it. 3. The Holy Spirit is who enables us to effectively relate and receive God's Word.

Jesus' Calling - The Real Deal

August 21, 2022 • Scott Richards • Jeremiah 29:13, Luke 24:25–35, John 10:27, John 5:39

On the road to Emmaus, the disciple's experience with the resurrected Lord shows us what a real word from God looks like. It will always line up with what He's already spoken. It will always reflect the character of God revealed in scripture. And it will come in His timing. 1. A real Word from God will always line up with what He's already spoken. 2. A real Word from God will always emphasize grace. 3. A real Word from God will come as needed.
