Sunrise Service 2024: I Am the Resurrection [John 11:25-27]

March 31, 2024

Sermon Notes

Date: 03/31/2024, Easter Sunday

Preacher: David Teves, deacon

Key Text: John 11:25-27

Description:

I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me will live even if he dies, and everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die.

Do you believe this?

… the words of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, to Martha.

And welcome to our 2024 Easter Sunrise Service for Scandia Bible Church — held in its traditional location, at the lovely waterside home of Elder Keith Barker.

This morning Deacon David Teves shares a message regarding a different resurrection — the one in which Jesus raised His friend, Lazarus, from the dead.

But in doing so He explained to Martha that *He* was the resurrection… and Martha not only believed Him but said as much.

What about you?

Do YOU believe this?

That’s the real question to ponder this morning.

…For your answer means everything.

Notes:

Without the Resurrection…

    1. Preaching would be WORTHLESS.
    2. Faith would be USELESS.
    3. Christ would be a LIAR.
    4. the Cross would mean NOTHING.
    5. Those who have Died before us would be in RUIN.
    6. Following Him would be a WASTE of our time.

Sermon Notes

Date: 01/28/2018

Preacher: Peter Montoro, guest pastor

Key Text: 1 Peter 1:13-16

Description: Holiness gets a bad rap in our society.

For some, it is one more difficulty in a life already filled with struggle. For others, it is a means of justifying their own sense of superiority to the rest of the world.

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, we welcome back guest preacher Peter Montoro from Westside Baptist Church, pinch-hitting for Pastor Monty as he and his family take a much needed respite in the wake of his son, Isaiah’s, death.

SBC logo 204x204In our message, Pastor Montoro shows us that holiness, rightly understood, is neither of these things mentioned at the beginning, but rather a wonderful opportunity to demonstrate the hope that we have in Christ. In the end, holiness is not about an upturned nose but about uplifted eyes.

Date: 02/19/2017

Preacher: Keith Barker, elder

Key Text: Matthew 27

SBC logo 204x204Description: Have you ever reflected on who actually killed Jesus?

…Was it the angry crowd? Was it the Roman governor, Pilate? Was it the religious leaders? Or was it the work of Satan?

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Elder Keith Barker addresses the possible contributors to Jesus’ death by opening the 27th chapter of Matthew – a portion of scripture that every Christian should be familiar, for it is the centerpiece of our belief. Because you see, when you understand this chapter, you not only gain a grasp of what Jesus was willing to endure for the forgiveness of each and everyone of us… but you peer into the sacrificial heart of God.

Preacher: Keith Barker, elder

Key Text: Romans 8:28

SBC logo 204x204Description: Isn’t fascinating how a chemist can put together certain chemicals that in and of themselves would be poison … yet when properly mixed, change from something bad to something good?chemistry-lab-b For example sodium is a poison, and chlorine is a poison; but when compounded together, sodium chloride becomes table salt. Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Elder Keith Barker opens the Bible to show us that God’s “chemistry” was exhibited at the cross when His holiness met the depravity of man: yielding an outcome, for all who would believe, of salvation.

Key Text: 1 Corinthians 1:18-25

SBC logo 204x204Description: It’s a comforting thought to realize that God wants us to know Him. And while most people see the Bible as “too deep” and “too confusing,” the reality is just the opposite. Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Elder Keith Barker opens the Bible to clearly establish the most important truth in all of Scripture – a truth made so simple by God that a child can both understand and respond: resulting in a life redeemed.

Key Text: Genesis 9:8-17

The passage in this message has some wonderful insights that are too often overlooked. May the Lord slow each of us down to the place where we can fully grasp what the Bible is telling us in this amazing section from Luke 23.

Date: 04/05/2015, Easter Sunday

Preacher: Keith Barker, elder

Key Text: Mark 8:35-37

Description: Easter morning typically is filled with sermons speaking about Christ’s resurrection from the grave.  In this Easter sermon we move our focus onto those who are without a saving relationship to our resurrected Lord Jesus.  The things of the world, and our own security in the world, tend to capture those who are unsaved.  Our text reflects the very words of Jesus on this matter.

Date: 04/24/2011, Easter Sunday

Preacher: Monty Simao, elder

Key Text: Luke 23:39-43

Description:  Have you ever wondered if a person who had lived wickedly his whole life and was now on death row could be saved if he received Jesus? Well you don’t need to wonder because the Bible not only answers that question but gives us an account of that very thing. The Penitent thief on the cross who was crucified next to Jesus, gives us one of the clearest examples of Justification by grace thru faith.  This man did no good works. He was demonstrably evil, he was a criminal. He knew he was dying and he knew he deserved it.  Find out how this evil man saw his sin, saw his Savior, and then was assured of salvation!
