Acts 2:42-45

Whether it was the sick, the dying, the poor, widows and orphans, the early church was one of the few institutions that cared for those who couldn’t care for themselves. How do we reflect that tradition today?

What made the first disciples in the early church unique from the world around them?

They cared. Do you care?
They put action to their cares. Do we do anything significant for the people we’re supposed to care about?
They sacrificed. What are we willing to sacrifice to put actions to our cares?

Easter 2024

Mark 16:1-8

The women at the tomb represent each one of us in a different way. They were afraid when they were met by an angel upon their arrival to the empty tomb.

It’s okay to be afraid (even when it’s about Jesus).

Luke 24:13-16

Jesus is there (even when you can’t see him).

Luke 24:17-18

Jesus knows (even when you don’t think he does).

Luke 24:19-31

One day your eyes will be open (even if you can’t imagine it).

Villains: ???

Mark 11:1-11

The story of Jesus coming into Jerusalem occurs in all four gospels. But there’s no clear villain in the story itself… unless you zoom out and look at the implications of this moment. And then the villain of the triumphal entry could be you if:

You keep quiet
You don’t let yourself be moved
You don’t trust Jesus to be Jesus
Your expectations get in the way
You will not lay it down

Villains: Pilate

Matthew 27:11-26

Mark 15:15

Luke 23:4

John 19:12

Pilate is perhaps the most tragic villain of Easter. He could see Jesus was innocent and didn’t want to go along with the religious leaders’ calls to put him to death. Yet, ultimately he gave in. So how did Pilate end up sentencing the messiah to be crucified?

He ignored his convictions.
He didn’t listen to good advice.
He gave up on doing what was right.
He let his fear make the decision.
He preferred his own peace.
He thought he could justify himself.

Villains: Peter

Where are the chinks in Peter’s armor? What weaknesses does Peter have that turn him, in a way, into a villain in the Easter story? And how can we learn from his errors?

Mark 8:27-33
