Can you imagine the hopelessness that Jesus disciples felt the day that he was crucified? In all of the world there was nothing that could ever come close to replacing what they had in Jesus. Some of you are familiar with this type of feeling. The fear that something you lost will never be able to be replaced and that things will never get better. This Easter I want us to consider the words of comfort that Jesus offered to his disciples during their season of loss because I believe that these same words continue to offer us comfort today.
Resurrection Comfort in a Season of Loss

How Jesus Treats Sinners
March 30, 2024 • Tim Cain • John 21:1–17
Have you ever felt stuck in some area of your life and begun to doubt that there was any way you were ever going to change? Have you ever had someone give up on you and begun to think that maybe they were right? If you have then you are not alone. In the Gospels we read the story of someone who had failed so terribly that he must have wondered if there was any way that Jesus could ever truly restore him. Well in John 21 the Risen Jesus pursues Peter and shows us that the grace of God is able to restore even the worst of failures!
The Triumphant Lamb
March 23, 2024 • Joshua Moffit • Revelation 7:9–17
Why did Jesus welcome the praise and coronation of those that he knew would abandon him, deny him, and betray him less than one week later? Because Jesus came to save sinners! Jesus alone is worthy to do it. For everyone who confesses their sin and cries out to Jesus, "Hosanna! - Save me!" - then Jesus will bring you through the tribulation of this life and shelter you with his presence for all eternity.
Comfort and Hope through the Resurrection
April 16, 2022 • Tim Cain • John 20:1–18
Sometimes the brokenness of this world can seem overwhelming. Sometimes loss can seem irreversible. Sometimes even the promises of God seem unable to bring us the comfort we long for. What then? In John 20 we encounter a woman who was so overwhelmed with grief that she had lost all hope of things ever getting better. But Jesus was not content to leave her in her despair. Instead, we will see how the resurrected Jesus comes to offer comfort to his people even in the midst of their darkest nights.
