Sermon Series:
Opening the Door
to Hope
April 20, 2014
Easter Sunday
2
Welcome! We are glad you are in worship with us! It is our hope that the presence of God is made real to you today.
Sermon Series: Opening the Door to Hope
Today’s Message: Easter Sunday
Today’s Scripture: Matthew 28:1-10 NIV
We Gather to Worship
Please remember to silence your cell phones before the service. Also for your convenience, we have nurseries and a “Squirm & Giggle Room” available for parents.
28 After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb.
2 There was a
violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it.
3 His
appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow.
4 The guards were so
afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men.
5 The angel said to the women, ―Do
not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified.
6 He is not here;
he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay.
7 Then go quickly and
tell his disciples: ‗He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.‘ Now I have told you.‖
8 So
the women hurried away from the tomb, afraid yet filled with joy, and ran to tell his disciples. 9 Suddenly Jesus met them. ―Greetings,‖ he
said. They came to him, clasped his feet and worshiped him.
10 Then Jesus said to them,
―Do not be afraid. Go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see me.‖
