Pastor Matt continues our sermon series 'Encounters with Jesus through the Gospel of John,' looking at Jesus' encounter with Mary at His empty tomb."The times of ignorance God overlooked, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent, because he has fixed a day on which he will judge the world in righteousness by a man whom he has appointed; and of this he has given assurance to all by raising him from the dead.” 32 Now when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked.

Pastor Matt continues our sermon series 'Encounters with Jesus through the Gospel of John,' looking at Jesus' encounter with Mary at His empty tomb.

"The times of ignorance God overlooked, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent, because he has fixed a day on which he will judge the world in righteousness by a man whom he has appointed; and of this he has given assurance to all by raising him from the dead.” 32 Now when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked. But others said, “We will hear you again about this.” - Acts 17:30-32

  • The empty tomb radically changes our view of death (v8-10).

"If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.  Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth." - Colossians 3:1-2

  • The empty tomb radically changes our position before the father (v11-18). 

"He came to his own, and his own people did not receive him. But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God." - John 1:11-13
