Easter Sunday - April 12th, 2020
We are so glad you have joined us for Easter Sunday service.
Our Children's Church leaders have created a video just for our PCA Kids. Jill helps Marcello remember what an awesome day it was when Jesus rose from the grave. We encourage parents to take time to watch this video together with them today.
Today we have a special Treat. Kari Jobe and Cody Carnes have graciously allowed churches to use this worship set for their Easter Sunday worship. This will only be available for us today. Enjoy!
His Last Days Series
Everything hinges on our answer to the question, “Did Jesus rise from the dead?”
The Events of Resurrection Sunday
Women discover the empty tomb
Matt 28:1-7; Mark 16:1-7; Luke 27:1-7; John 20:1
John 20:1 (NIV)
1 Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the entrance.
With fear & joy leave garden go tell disciples
Matt 28:8-10; Luke 24:8-11; John 20:2
John 20:2 (NIV)
2 So she came running to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one Jesus loved, and said, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don’t know where they have put him!”
Peter & John rush to the tomb and it’s empty
Luke 24:12; John 20:3-10
John 20:3-10 (NIV)
3 So Peter and the other disciple started for the tomb.
4 Both were running, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first.
5 He bent over and looked in at the strips of linen lying there but did not go in.
6 Then Simon Peter, who was behind him, arrived and went into the tomb. He saw the strips of linen lying there,
7 as well as the burial cloth that had been around Jesus’ head. The cloth was folded up by itself, separate from the linen.
8 Finally the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also went inside. He saw and believed.
9 (They still did not understand from Scripture that Jesus had to rise from the dead.)
10 Then the disciples went back to their homes,
Mary returns and encounters Jesus
John 20:11-18
John 20:11-18 (NIV)
11 but Mary stood outside the tomb crying. As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb
12 and saw two angels in white, seated where Jesus’ body had been, one at the head and the other at the foot.
13 They asked her, “Woman, why are you crying?” “They have taken my Lord away,” she said, “and I don’t know where they have put him.”
14 At this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not realize that it was Jesus.
15 “Woman,” he said, “why are you crying? Who is it you are looking for?” Thinking he was the gardener, she said, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will get him.”
16 Jesus said to her, “Mary.” She turned toward him and cried out in Aramaic, “Rabboni!” (which means Teacher).
17 Jesus said, “Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet returned to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am returning to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’”
18 Mary Magdalene went to the disciples with the news: “I have seen the Lord!” And she told them that he had said these things to her.
