Easter is not for Christians

Easter Sunday. Hallelujah! Christ is risen Holy Week and Creation: a comparison God's new love song for his creation and mankind's love song for creation Happy Easter The first chapter of the Book of Genesis is theology, but not theology as we know it. It is not the theology of learned people using the academic …

Matthew's Passion: Women's work Easter: 1 Matthew 28:1-10 There is a meme going around Facebook and Twitter. It says, "In the interests of Biblical accuracy, all the preaching about the resurrection on Easter Sunday will be done by women." It has a point. All the disciples have fled and a few women watched from a …

Let's Celebrate Holy Trinity Church, Huddersfield Easter Sunday, 1 April 2018 It was nearly spoilt for me before it started. A touch out of nowhere. I turned to see a smiling face in the row behind wanting to wish me happy Easter. But it was alarming, it was way into the service before I could …

What does Easter mean

On 21/04/2014 By balaamIn God blogs2 Comments

What does Easter mean? I mean on its own, because there is a lot said about the victory of the cross, and it is impossible to separate the events of Good Friday from that of Easter Sunday. But Ill try. Bit first a look at the passion. Jesus last words from the cross,"It is finished," …
