Jesus walked out of that grave on the third day and there were over 500 witnesses of His resurrection. The last thing that He said to us before He left was, "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations..." He also promised to be with us even unto the end of the age. All power and authority have been given to Him. He did not tell us to entertain each other with a fancy new twist on the gospel. He only told us to preach it and make disciples.

Before the Sonrise

July 7, 2024 • Pastor Don Roach • Matthew 27:55–66, Isaiah 53:9, 1 Peter 1:18, John 19:41–42

When they place Jesus body in the tomb, they rolled a stone in front of the door and placed armed Roman Soldiers in front of it to make sure that He couldn't escape. They all watched Him die on that cross. What were they worried about? The tomb door was further protected with the Roman seal, which carried the authority of the most powerful government in the known world. If Jesus "escaped", the soldiers would be jailed or even put to death. Well, it turned out that they were justified in their fears because there ain't no grave that could hold Jesus down! Jesus did in fact rise out of that grave on the 3rd day, and the rest is history.

The Death of Jesus

June 23, 2024 • Pastor Don Roach • Matthew 27:37–52, Isaiah 53:12, Luke 23:45, John 19:30

The Cross was part of God's plan from the beginning of time. Christ's question in the Garden of Gethsemane, was proof that there is no other way to eternal life. He went to amazing and shocking lengths to save us. Tune in as Pastor Don takes us through this very difficult passage. Prayerfully, you will surrender yourself to the King of Glory, who loves you like no other and went to that cross to prove it.

Ugly as Sin

June 16, 2024 • Pastor Don Roach • Matthew 27:26–37

Just how ugly is sin? From man's perspective, not very. From God's? Well, that is a different story. What are we supposed to do about this, if anything? The crucifixion of Christ was not just a torture sentence brought on by jealous, religious zealots, but God's plan to spare the humanity that He created and loves, to be saved from themselves and eternal damnation.
