Seeing Easter Again for the First Time | | I don’t know how it happened. But somewhere along the way I got numb to the miracle of Easter. I blame familiarity. I grew up in the church and have heard more Easter sermons—and have read more Easter books and seen more Easter plays—than I can count. I guess I became so used to the story that I started to lose sight of how strange and powerful it is. It took trying to see it with fresh eyes to reawaken to the miracle of Easter and let it move me the way it once did. If you’re a pastor, you’re well aware of this challenge. You’ve probably preached more than few Easter sermons, and you long to help people see the beautiful and hopeful message of Christ’s resurrection. Our sister site, PreachingToday.com is offering a webinar next week to help you do just that. Preach with Confidence this Easter will help you inject energy and fresh ideas into the familiar biblical texts. Three skilled preachers will share personal stories of how they’ve preached Easter during their hardest seasons of ministry. Speaking of Easter, our Planning Special Services resource features tons of adaptable service ideas for Easter and other special occasions. Check these out if you want to mix up your special services in 2021. |
