Join us for our big Easter Celebration as we proclaim Jesus is risen! In this sermon of the sermon series ‘Authentic Easter’, we look at the resurrection of Jesus in John chapter 20 and 21. Nick Lindeback walks us through the different disciples who saw Jesus and their different reactions. These testimonies show that Jesus’ love is not only unconditional but is powerful enough to forgive. Again and again and again.

Sermon – A Confounded World: Jesus’ Authenticity (Matthew 8:18-34)

Read the text – Matthew 8:18-34

Jesus is confounding. Reading through the Gospel of Matthew, we see Jesus do some extraordinary things and the result is that some follow and some turn their backs on him. That is not so different from today. We often expect the extraordinary before we allow ourselves to believe something. As such we settle for the normal and mundane, all the while wishing for the extraordinary. Jesus came into the normal and mundane, but he did that which was extraordinary. He does what we hope by doing what we find hard to believe! How confounding.

In this Bible Talk, Nick Lindeback looks at the chaos of life and shows us how Jesus holds the power over chaos. If you know Jesus is in control, then you can live in faith rather than fear. Are you willing to rest in this storm, and are you willing to trust him when the chaos of this life overwhelms you?
