Sermon: "Broken at Dawn" by Randy Roberts
Part 2 — Broken
Pastoral Welcome: Timothy Gillespie
Children’s Feature: Jackie Bishop
Scripture Reading: Mark 16:1–6, TNIV - Anita Roberts
This weekend, along with countless Christ-followers around the globe, we celebrate the passion and the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. I don’t believe it’s possible to overstate the fundamental importance of the resurrection to our lives as believers. Several quotations help to underline that point
“The empty tomb of Christ has been the cradle of the Church.” – Pressense
“Without the resurrection there will not be a Christianity – Christianity stands or falls with the resurrection, and this single factor makes Christianity remarkably one of a kind.” – Steve Kumar
“If the thing happened, it was the central event in the history of the church.” – C. S. Lewis
“Christianity does not hold the resurrection to be one among many tenets of belief. Without faith in the resurrection there would be no Christianity at all … Once disprove it, and you have disposed of Christianity.” – Michael Green
Clearly, the resurrection which we celebrate this weekend is not only central to the individual hope we hold for a future life in the kingdom of God; it is also the central tenet of the very faith of worldwide and historic Christianity. Certainly such a belief deserves to be celebrated with every fiber of our being.
So join me this weekend in saying and singing and celebrating: Christ the Lord is risen today! Hallelujah!
I also remind you that after this Easter break from our current sermon series on Psalms, next week we return to it. Our focus will be Psalm 96. Listed below are the remaining dates and sermons in that series.
God’s very best to you.

MEDITATIONS
An earthquake marked the hour when Christ laid down His life, and another earthquake witnessed the moment when He took it up in triumph. He who had vanquished death and the grave came forth from the tomb with the tread of a conqueror, amid the reeling of the earth, the flashing of lightning, and the roaring of thunder. – Ellen G. White
God uses broken things. Broken soil to produce a crop, broken clouds to give rain, broken grain to give bread, broken bread to give strength. It is the broken alabaster box that gives forth perfume. It is Peter, weeping bitterly, who returns to greater power than ever. – Vance Havner
