Easter, and Beyond Chad Hager

We know people whose eyesight limits them to reading only text written in large print - or who may be completely dependent on caregivers to read aloud to them - yet they cling faithfully to God's Word as their life and their light. This book is for them. Thank God for "so great a cloud of witnesses."

A preview of what's inside:

Sermon 1 Easter is known for a single event: the resurrection of Jesus Christ. But did any other events take place on that day? Lots!

Sermon 3 After the resurrection, did Jesus just go into retirement? Did he just decide to sit back and watch how events would unfold? Not hardly.

Sermon 5 "Just add Jesus" sounds like a phrase from a cookbook. Well, if it is ... then God is the gourmet chef who "preparest a table before me."

Sermon 6 The Christian life: We started - inspired by Jesus' sacrifice on the cross; we made it this far - sustained by the risen Christ; now we need to finish strong - looking forward to the home Jesus has prepared for us.

Sermon 7 Islam is not just another religion: Islam is the only religion with a holy book that specifically denies that Jesus was crucified and resurrected.

Sermon 9 I know I get joy from things like seeing a friend succeed, or watching a child open a present. But what is this thing called "the joy of the Lord"?

Sermon 10 Scientists take pride in giving us the history of the universe from a scientific perspective - going from the big bang, to the formation of the solar system, to the final end of everything. But theologians don't often try to give the big picture of the universe from a Christian perspective. So let's fill that gap!
