Sermon Notes
Resurrection
Mary was standing outside the tomb crying, and as she wept, she stooped and looked in. She saw two white-robed angels, one sitting at the head and the other at the foot of the place where the body of Jesus had been lying. “Dear woman, why are you crying?” the angels asked her. “Because they have taken away my Lord,” she replied, “and I don’t know where they have put him.” She turned to leave and saw someone standing there. It was Jesus, but she didn’t recognize him. “Dear woman, why are you crying?” Jesus asked her. “Who are you looking for?” She thought he was the gardener. “Sir,” she said, “if you have taken him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will go and get him.” “Mary!” Jesus said. She turned to him and cried out, “Rabboni!” (which is Hebrew for “Teacher”). “Don’t cling to me,” Jesus said, “for I haven’t yet ascended to the Father. But go find my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’” Mary Magdalene found the disciples and told them, “I have seen the Lord!” Then she gave them his message.

Healing Ministry
“Jesus & the Disciples: A Model for Healing Ministry”
We were blessed to have guest speaker Mark Nysewander join us last January to dive deeper into the message of the healing power of prayer. Mark is a pastor, author, missionary, and church planter who has extensive experience in healing ministry.
The healing ministry of Jesus was the foundation of the first sermon series of 2024, “Follow the Healer” (based on the book by the same name from Stephen Seamands). We recorded the two sessions from Mark’s time with us and have linked them here for anyone wishing to hear them again, or for the first time. An outline that was distributed at the workshop is also provided here for anyone wishing to use that as a guide for the recordings.
