A Great Sermon

Last weekend we were blessed to celebrate Easter with daughter Allison and Son Byron in Greenville, SC.  Byron is on staff with Summit Church and we always enjoy attending this outreach church in Greenville.  I was particularly moved by Sunday morning's sermon as it brought a perspective that I'd not heard before.  It was built around when Jesus exited the tomb those years ago and the stone was rolled away, there was no one there waiting.  He had promised he would arise, people had heard it, but they just didn't 'get it'.  We struggle in that same vein today in that in our finite understanding, we often just don't 'get it' as the finite meets the infinite.  But by the Grace of God, go I.....May we all 'get it' this day.

Anyway, I was really moved by the teaching and thought some of you might enjoy it if you have 30 minutes or so and want to stream it.  I wish there was video included so you could see the passion in Pastor Jason's eyes and his style.   Here is the link:

We had a great day celebrating Christ's resurrection, spending time walking around the lake at Furman University with Al and Bryon and just continuing to enjoy spring.  And of course, Allison is a cook beyond belief and we had a fantabulous Easter meal.  God is good to us.....all the time.....

Blessings.

"Then some of the scribes and Pharisees answered, saying, 'Teacher, we want to see a sign from You.'  But he answered and said to them, 'An evil and adulterous generation seeks after a sign, and no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.  For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.'" (Matthew 28:38-40, NKJV)
