Luke 24:1-12

We are living in the information age. And it's clearer than ever that what we need is not more information but transformation. We're glad you could join us because we'll hear of a classic example of this today on Hope From The Word. In the gospel of Luke, chapter twenty-four Jesus speaks to two of his disciples who are disheartened and in great need. Let's join Pastor Bill there, as he begins by reading our text.

After Jesus was crucified, the women who supported Him were traumatized, the apostles who followed Him were terrified, and it seemed as if the incarnational project He undertook was totaled.Most of the apostles were originally “resurrection” skeptics—and so are many people today. Peter was willing to explore the message the women brought. And he eventually came to a life-changing conclusion. Everything turned around with the discovery of an empty tomb!

Hello and welcome to Hope From the Word. We hope you had a great Easter, reflecting on the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Easter may be over, but we have more to learn about the resurrection events. Last week, Pastor Bill Luebkemann spent some time reviewing the events leading up to Christ's crucifixion. Today, we'll turn our attention to what took place after Jesus's death. Our text is Luke twenty-four. If you're able, you can turn there now and follow along with us as Pastor Bill gets started.

Today, Pastor Jack teaches that we need to get up. We are no longer bound by sin and death, or fear. Our debt has been paid for by Jesus, so how can we not get up and rejoice for all that He has done to save us.
