Sermons on Easter

The Glorious Resurrection of the Saints

Philippians 3 After Christ’s crucifixion, burial, and resurrection, He began a timeline that ultimately prepares a Heavenly home for believers. Pastor Rod Bunton starts in Philippians 3 and explores supporting passages to explain how Christians will also experience a resurrection and a new body for eternity.

No Ordinary Stone

1 Peter 2:4-8 Peter builds on the metaphor established earlier by Jesus, who called the revelation that He is the living God the stone upon which His church would be built. Pastor Rod Bunton relates this Easter message to Peter’s assertion that this living cornerstone separates the believer from the non-believer.

Worthy is the Lamb that was Slain

Revelation 5 Jesus, who is called the “Lion of Judah” in the book of Revelation, was also called the “Lamb that was slain.” Pastor Rod Bunton explains the history and significance of that name and its importance to Resurrection Sunday.

What Happens When I Die?

Luke 16:19-31 A parable told by Jesus gives us a glimpse into the unknown, showing us what happens when we die. Pastor Rod Bunton explores this passage from Luke which compares the fates of two men who have different eternal destinations.

What if the Resurrection Didn’t Happen?

1 Corinthians 15:12-19 If there is no resurrection from the dead, then even Christ was not resurrected after his crucifixion. Pastor Rod Bunton teaches that our faith is useless and our hope for heaven is in vain if Christ wasn’t resurrected from death.

Resurrection – A Critical Part of the Gospel

Mark 16:1-11, 1 Corinthians 15:1-4, 15-20 ~ The death of Jesus on the cross was an amazing sacrifice that paid the debt for sinners in the past, in the present, and in the future and yet, without the resurrection that followed, it would have accomplished nothing. Pastor Rod Bunton explains this critical part of the gospel and why we can trust that it really happened.

I Am the Resurrection and the Life

John 11:25 – When Jesus heard that his friend Lazarus was gravely ill, He delayed coming to visit him before Lazarus died. Pastor Rod Bunton uses this Resurrection Day sermon to highlight the glorious reason for this delay.

Faith in the Resurrection

Matthew 27:62-28:10 – When Jesus’ tomb was sealed and guarded, some hoped that it would prevent the resurrection but, instead, it helped to prove it. Pastor Rod Bunton reviews many reasons why we can have faith in the resurrection event.
