Implications of the Resurrection
1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 My name is Josh Oedy. I’m one of the pastors here at Grace Church, and it is my joy and really a special privilege for me to be able to open the Word with you on this Resurrection Sunday. This is the day that Christians gather together in churches around the world, and we give special attention to the most significant event in the history of the world, the resurrection of Jesus Christ. On Friday night we…
Sons of the Resurrection
Luke 20:34-40 Well, we are in Luke 20 this morning, and in our study as we come to the text, we find Jesus fending off yet another attack, and this time from the Sadducees. We started into this text last week, and by God’s grace we’ll finish it up this morning. As I looked at my notes this morning, I realized I could have cut this into another half. So that’s three halves. Three sermons could have done that, but…
Resurrection and the End of Sin
Romans 6:1-11 The Scripture readings foreshadowed what I want to share with you this morning about one of the most significant implications of the Gospel, and one that is in dire need of redressing in our modern day. In the message of the Gospel, we learn that God saves sinners. We learn that God reconciles sinners to himself, not counting their trespasses against them because of the atoning death of Jesus Christ on the cross. All who repent of their…
How to Grow Strong in Faith, Part 2
Luke 9:42-45 How to Grow Strong in the Faith, Part 2 Luke 9:42-45 April 21, 2019 All that is Grace Church is explained by the resurrection and the resurrection power. It’s the power that raised Christ from the dead, conquered the grave, claimed victory over death itself. That’s the power that saves people, literally, saves lives, saves and sanctifies, transforms people, making them into something that they never were, never could be by any other human solution. That’s the power…
Abounding in Resurrection Certainty
1 Corinthians 15:20-28 Last weekend, it was a wonderful weekend for celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Every year, we proclaim the resurrection on Easter Sunday, and because we know that people visit our church who may not know Jesus Christ personally, we like to use that opportunity every year to make sure they get a very clear gospel presentation. That’s what I endeavored to do last week. And I have to admit that I have mixed emotions about that.…
The Full Message of God’s Salvation
Acts 13:23-41 When all our praise is directed to our God, the Living God who saves us. Who called us to a holy calling and who is alone worthy of all of our glory and honor and praise. Among all of his manifold mercies, are God sent Jesus Christ to live and to die, and to rise again in order to save us from our sins. Somebody asked me what I planned to preach for resurrection Sunday. We’ve been working…
A Case for the Resurrection
Selected Scriptures Today is Easter Sunday, and as you’ve heard in the songs, the Scripture reading, all that we’re doing here, we’re remembering the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ. It was nearly 2,000 years ago that Jesus, crucified on a Roman cross, having died on that cross, having been buried in a tomb, that Jesus was resurrected by God. He was not resuscitated; that is to say, his body didn’t merely come back to life. This was not revivification or…
