Resurrection power

Mark — Mon, 05 Apr 2010 21:31:02 +0000

Thursday afternoon. The phone rings. It is our friend John, saying he is in need of a little help and some encouragement. He says he wants to go to church on Sunday and Mira explains what, when and how. We are pleasantly surprised, as it is a place he has never been before in his life.

Easter Sunday, afternoon. Our service is going to be a little different than usual; a short time of worship, sermon and prayer, then out to the playground nearby to have a picnic lunch together. I am pleasantly surprised that John is there. Mira’s sermon is very short. She shares about the reality of the resurrection of Jesus (more proof than for Julius Ceasar’s existence) and shows a little clip of a caterpillar transforming into a butterfly. It is true transformation, new life out of the old. Nobody calls a butterfly a ‘transformed caterpillar’. That new life is given to us in Jesus Christ, through the Holy Spirit.

After service, John joins in for the picnic. As we are enjoying the food, he shares his heart: how he is suffering from negative feelings, how he is unable to maintain relationships the way he wants to, how he is failing in his marriage. I ask him what he thinks of the service. His response: I need to get on my feet again; I think I need some kind of a resurrection. For the third time this week, I am pleasantly surprised by John: his insight and ability to apply the message are remarkable. Pray with us that he will find the ultimate Resurrection Power.

Jesus is alive – Happy Easter!

And another video with the New Testament story of Easter – Jesus is truly risen from the death! You might not really like Dolly Parton, but bear it to the end – it’s fenomenal.

Pesach, passover, Easter – what’s it all about?

Why Easter?

Mark — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 16:40:54 +0000

Do you know why we celebrate Easter, what it is actually about? If you are like the majority of the Dutch population, then probably not. While Christmas is about the birth of Jesus Christ, Easter is about his resurrection from death. Pretty unbelievable, but true… Read more about it at the WhyEaster? website. You can also view the movie ‘The story of Jesus’ on DVD or online to get the full picture of who Jesus is.

Below is the soundtrack of this movie performed by Angelique (Idols III) and Kees Kraayenoord. Download of the original mp3 available at the website.
