SCRIPTURE: Luke 24:36-49
SERMON SERIES: We have seen the LORD!
SERMON: What difference does the Resurrection make?

Dear Church!

This Sunday we proclaim the good news of the Risen Jesus through his third post-resurrection appearance. 

On Easter Sunday, we preached on Jesus appearing to Mary at the empty tomb. Last week, we preached about Jesus appearing to the couple on the road back to Emmaus. This Sunday, we preach on Jesus appearing to the disciples in the Upper Room. 

With each appearance, we rehearse what it means to put our fears and doubts aside and follow with confidence the One who rose from the dead and conquered the grave. 

What difference does the Resurrection make in our daily lives? All the difference. 

See you in church!
Pastor Dawn
