Sermon: “What a Difference That Day Makes”
Theme: If we will embrace and live in the joy of the resurrection we become confident of God’s steadfast love filling all of the days of our lives.
Scriptures:  John 20:1-18 John tells of the resurrection.
Colossians 3:1-4 If you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above.

Questions:
What is meant by “If you have been raised with Christ?” Are we raised with Christ by believing in him? What is the difference between believing in the resurrection and not believing in the resurrection? Do we have to believe the resurrection is a “scientific fact” in order to know Christ’s love? What is the gift of God’s love that is so great that it cannot be defeated by death? Can we affirm with Mary, “We have seen the lord!”?

Sermon: “The Courage to Be Christ Like”
Theme: God calls us to practice a self-sacrificing, Christ like love that brings us closer to God as we are part
of healing and renewing the world.
Scriptures: Matthew 6:1, 5-15 Do not practice your spirituality for others.
Philippians 2:1-13 Christ submitted and emptied himself, work out your salvation with fear and trembling.
Questions: What does it mean to be “Christ like?” What is the difference between being religious and being
spiritual? What happens when you have religion that is empty of spirit? What happens when we participate
with Christ in making sacrifices for others? How are we affected by giving of ourselves and practicing Christ
like love for the world? Where do we find the courage to be like Christ? How do we offer the sacrifice of our
heart and our commitment to Christ?
