Easter Sermon Part 2of “The Two Marys”

This Easter Sunday message follows Mary Magdalene into the garden where grief, confusion, and love are transformed by the voice of the risen Christ. In You Are Known, Rev. Jim reflects on one of our deepest human fears—not only that we will die, but that we will be forgotten—and on the astonishing good news of Easter: that those who belong to Jesus Christ are held, remembered, and called by name. If you have ever wondered whether your life matters, whether your sorrow is seen, or whether love can survive death itself, this sermon offers a hopeful and deeply personal Easter proclamation.

Easter Sermon Part 1 of “The Two Marys”

This Good Friday message invites us to stand at the foot of the cross through the eyes of Mary, the mother of Jesus. In At the Cross Her Vigil Keeping, Rev. Jim reflects on grief, love, helplessness, and faithfulness in the shadow of Christ’s suffering, drawing us more deeply into the solemn beauty of Good Friday. If you have ever wondered what it means to stay with Jesus in sorrow—not rushing past the pain toward Easter morning, but remaining present in the silence of Holy Week—this sermon offers a tender and prayerful place to begin.
