Luke’s Gospel paints a unique portrait of Jesus as the Lord was paraded through Jerusalem. It was the same city as the previous Sunday, and many of the same people. On Sunday His destination was the Temple, but on Friday it was the place of the skull, to be exposed, mocked, hung on a cross, and killed alongside criminals. As we look at Luke 23:26-43 we will see the importance of Jesus’ interaction with a group of women mourning for him, with the leaders and the soldiers, and with the thieves killed alongside Him. We will also see the role Simon of Cyrene played in the storyline. This is an important Sunday. The crucifixion is at the very core of the Christian faith and the gospel itself.

Revelation
April 23, 2017 • Pastor Bill Riedel
In this passage we see the encounter that two travelers on the Road to Emmaus had with the risen Lord Jesus. This was on the same Sunday on which Jesus had risen from death to life. In the midst of their sorrow, the travelers didn’t realize who they were talking to. We will see the revelation of Jesus in the whole of the biblical storyline – how all Scripture whispers His name.
Resurrection
April 16, 2017 • Pastor Bill Riedel
This Sunday we will celebrate the victorious resurrection of Jesus Christ, conquering sin and death. As we do so, we will reflect on Luke 24:1-12. Mary Madgalene, Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, along with other women, came to Jesus’ tomb on Sunday morning at dawn and found it empty. Even the Apostles didn’t believe them. But Peter, even in the wake of his denial and failure, ran to the tomb to see it for himself. We will see the historical reality of Jesus’ resurrection, as well as its importance for us.
