Sermons on Resurrection
John 5:16-30
SERIES: The Gospel of John He’s His Father’s Son SPEAKER: Michael P. Andrus Note to David: I have changed the title of this sermon but not the sermon itself. Introduction: Have you ever heard anyone say of a boy, “My, he’s sure his father’s son, isn’t he?” When someone says that about one of my sons, Eddie or Andy, I always cringe a bit until I find out whether the trait which they are comparing in us is a good one or a…
1 Corinthians 15:1‑11
What Difference Does It Make? SCRIPTURE: 1 Corinthians 15:1‑11 Introduction: Yesterday we received a letter from some close college friends of ours who spent three terms as missionaries to France. Diane wrote, “My brother Keith died on November 3 in Cape Coral, FL. I want to share an account of something wonderful that happened the night of Keith’s death. Around 3 A.M. his wife Linda, my sister Gail, and my brother Craig, were all gathered around Keith’s bed as he lay dying. He was sleeping…

The Mechanics of the Resurrection: How Are Dead Bodies Raised? SCRIPTURE: 1 Corinthians 15:35‑49 Introduction: Some workmen were moving a little cemetery to make way for a new highway. One man, standing in a deep hole, held up a small zinc plate, and read to the others, “Jennie Stewart, 1905‑1908.” Then his shovel uncovered some moldy wood, a few bones and a blackened skull. “That’s all that’s left of little Jennie,” he said. Then he put her remains in a new box and moved on. Now you look…
1 Corinthians 15:50‑58
Some Will Never Die SCRIPTURE: 1 Corinthians 15:50‑58 Introduction: For the past two weeks we have been watching the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat. I’m just glad NBC had the broadcasting rights this year so ABC couldn’t show that pour guy who went off the side of the ski jump and nearly obliterated himself 30 or more years ago. If ABC paid him royalties for every time they showed that over the years, he’d be a rich man. It’s so much…
1 Thessalonians 4:13-18
How the Gospel Gives Hope to the Church : Josh had a tough passage of Scripture last Sunday, but he did a great job with it. You could hear a pin drop as he talked about the need for sexual purity. If you weren’t able to be here last Lord’s Day I would strongly encourage you to go to the website, and either read it or listen to it. I have a real advantage this morning–my sermon text is a very familiar passage…
2 Cor. 4:13-5:10
Is Your Earth Suit Wearing Out? In case you have any doubt in your mind, the answer to the question in my sermon title this morning is, “Yes.” Our bodies begin to deteriorate the moment we’re born, and the rate of deterioration speeds up considerably as time goes on. Children and teens don’t notice it, of course, but the 30- and 40-something’s are already getting a taste of it, those in their fifties and sixties understand it quite well, and the geezers…
