Mark of the Yeast

In this Days of Unleavened Bread sermon, we will examine and understand the attitudes that God wants us to have to help us to root out and to come to see what leaven represents. Jesus Christ even used leaven to talk about the kingdom of God and we'll take a look at that. Then we need to focus on the attitude that God wants us to have that will help us to maintain an unleavened life throughout this coming year.

Something Better Than Easter

Bust of Constantine in the Vatican Museum.

Exactly how did Easter - a holiday not found in the Bible and never celebrated in the early Church - come to replace the Passover, an observance that is plainly found in the Bible?

A Night of Solemn Observance

A blog post by Darris McNeely

A gunman killed three people at a Jewish Community Center in Kansas City yesterday; we are again reminded of how a peaceful moment can turn into a terrible moment of death. The suspected gunman is a known anti-Semitic. He apparently picked this place to vent his seething rage. It is a terrible reminder of a dark mood that resides within our world—waiting to emerge in it's full fury.

[5] And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. [6] He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.

Hi Chris,

From my understanding, that phrase is a Hebrew idiom, much like how we talk about time today. Essentially, it had been three days since Christ was put in the tomb (Wednesday night--considered Thursday)...so, Thursday, Friday, Saturday. When they talked about it on Sunday, it meant three days had passed...
