Rev Bill

I have posted yesterday’s sermon on my sermon blog. It is based on John 20:1-18 and entitled “Easter Means Changed Lives: Mary’s Story”.

Here’s a portion of it:

The message of Easter is that it does not matter how bad things seem to be in our lives – our Church – our community – and our world – God is at work changing things and making things new.
It does not matter how sinful or troubles our lives may be – the message of Ester is that God is at work changing things and making things new.
The current state of our Church does not matter — the message of Ester is that God is at work changing things and making things new – and we can be partners with God in that work.
The current sate of the economy and other things in our community that can depress us and get us down do not matter — the message of Ester is that God is at work changing things and making things new – and we can be partners with God in that work.
The current state of affairs in the world does not matter — the message of Ester is that God is at work changing things and making things new – and we can be partners with God in that work.
Because of the resurrection of Christ — our lives — our families — our community — our church – - our world — can be made new by God who makes all things new — even when — or maybe it‘s better to say especially when — we least expect it.
