[2191.78 --> 2195.78] and how excited we are to share it with other people. |

[2200.78 --> 2209.78] that we are going to learn a fun way to share Jesus' story and his hope that he gives us to others. |
[2209.78 --> 2213.78] Can everybody stand up? |
[2213.78 --> 2216.78] Yeah, I'll get your question and then, okay? |
[2216.78 --> 2220.78] And today is Easter Sunday. |
[2220.78 --> 2222.78] Yeah, it's Easter Sunday. |
[2222.78 --> 2225.78] Okay, everybody look at the congregation. |
[2225.78 --> 2226.78] One, two, three. |
[2226.78 --> 2227.78] The Lord. |
[2227.78 --> 2228.78] Be with you. |
[2228.78 --> 2230.78] And also with you. |
[2231.78 --> 2232.78] Steлатers W spreadsheet habr heaven switch over, |

[2242.78 --> 2246.78] of his, tourer his, to terms of earth richacks. |
[2246.78 --> 2264.00] Good morning, I'm Eric here, an elder at Emmanuel. |
[2264.52 --> 2268.98] Today I just wanted to bring one prayer note before we come and join each other in our family prayer. |
[2269.96 --> 2274.02] Tuesday is the last day of our nomination for pastoral elders and deacons in the office. |
[2274.02 --> 2277.22] There are forms in the e-bulletins by the church office. |
[2277.74 --> 2284.64] Please prayerfully consider who God has in mind for calling to serve our church family in this way. |
[2287.34 --> 2288.96] I want a word of prayer this morning. |
[2290.64 --> 2292.94] This is the day in which the Lord has made. |
[2293.22 --> 2295.46] We will rejoice and be glad in it. |
[2295.74 --> 2303.74] May the glory of Jesus' resurrection remind us that with you nothing is impossible or without hope. |
[2304.78 --> 2307.50] At this time of year, so many of us struggle in silence. |
[2308.24 --> 2312.80] We struggle with all sorts of health issues, whether physical or mental illness. |
[2313.38 --> 2318.68] We pray that you, God, will surround us with your peace, comfort, and healing. |
[2318.68 --> 2326.88] This morning we want to pray for Mina Veni, mother to Joanne Miles, great-grandmother to Megan. |
[2327.76 --> 2333.58] She finds herself struggling with health issues and that she wants to go to eternal home. |
[2334.16 --> 2339.36] We pray that she may have a peaceful passing into glory soon. |
[2339.36 --> 2347.02] Today, we praise you for successful surgery on Matt Schaap as he had knee constructive surgery. |
[2347.34 --> 2351.32] Comfort him in his healing process that everything will go back to normal soon. |
[2351.32 --> 2360.00] We also want to think of Emily Klingelting as she as well went through knee surgery and that the healing process is working there as well, Lord. |
[2360.78 --> 2366.60] Lord, we want to pray this morning for the students as many of them are in their home stretch, |
[2366.72 --> 2371.76] in particular the university and college students as they write their final exams and finish their final projects. |
[2372.14 --> 2376.56] Comfort, calm their nerves and protect them in their travels. |
[2376.56 --> 2380.82] Today, we pray for council nomination process. |
[2381.22 --> 2384.74] We pray that the Holy Spirit will guide and inspire those being nominated, |
[2385.20 --> 2390.14] lead them to step into the roles in their hearts and serve and love. |
[2390.84 --> 2395.98] Lord, today we celebrate with the Klingeltings as Austin Nichols Sills, |
[2396.40 --> 2401.82] number 13th grandchild, was given this week to Liz and Gary. |
[2403.08 --> 2405.80] Lord, we thank you for so many different blessings in this church. |
[2406.56 --> 2410.78] Lord, we give thanks to you for he is good, his love endures forever. |
[2411.40 --> 2411.68] Amen. |
[2411.68 --> 2411.80] Amen. |
[2411.80 --> 2439.52] We're going to spend some time together in God's word, looking at the story of the resurrection as it's told to us in the Gospel of Luke. |
[2439.52 --> 2446.44] So we're going to read from Luke 24, the first 12 verses of that chapter. |
[2447.06 --> 2451.16] I invite you to open that up in a Bible, in your hands or on your devices. |
[2451.36 --> 2454.32] There's a couple at the back if you'd like to grab one to read along there. |
[2456.10 --> 2459.52] The first time we go through it will be on the screen behind me. |
[2459.52 --> 2466.06] From Luke 24. |
[2466.06 --> 2474.90] On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb. |
[2475.72 --> 2482.10] They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. |
[2482.10 --> 2490.46] While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them. |
[2491.26 --> 2495.46] In their fright, the women bowed down with their faces to the ground. |
[2495.80 --> 2497.06] But the men said to them, |
[2497.06 --> 2517.68] Then they remembered his words. |
[2517.68 --> 2544.42] Peter, however, got up and ran to the tomb. |
[2544.42 --> 2554.88] This is the word of the Lord. |
[2560.42 --> 2566.20] Now, I'll start with a trigger warning for some of you. |
[2566.20 --> 2568.82] I'm going to talk about the election. |
[2571.60 --> 2573.96] I don't know if you know, but we're in an election season. |
[2575.50 --> 2582.22] Part of what that means is that you have the different political parties talking about their platforms |
[2582.22 --> 2585.38] and what they think will be good for our country going forward. |
[2585.46 --> 2588.62] Now, I am not going to weigh in one way or the other on that. |
[2589.26 --> 2591.58] If you want my personal opinion, we can talk after church. |
[2591.58 --> 2599.60] But this week, parties have released or are about to release their costed platforms. |
[2600.64 --> 2604.58] Part of that discussion includes looking at our national debt. |
[2605.92 --> 2608.42] I don't know if any of you have ever thought about our national debt, |
[2608.90 --> 2612.66] but currently Canada sits in debt at about $3 trillion. |
[2615.30 --> 2616.68] Now, why do I bring this up? |
[2616.68 --> 2620.10] Because honestly, that number means nothing to me. |
[2621.04 --> 2622.90] Like, that's a nonsense number. |
[2623.72 --> 2627.96] I cannot begin to wrap my head around the quantity, the amount. |
[2628.34 --> 2630.72] It's functionally meaningless. |
[2632.12 --> 2635.10] And so when everyone talks about how important it is, candidly, |
[2635.64 --> 2637.34] like, I just don't get it. |
[2637.42 --> 2640.98] Because that number doesn't make sense to me. |
[2640.98 --> 2646.82] Now, the reason I bring this up, because I think it's a modern analog |
[2646.82 --> 2654.40] to how the disciples and the people around him felt and first experienced the resurrection. |
[2655.32 --> 2656.90] It doesn't make sense. |
[2657.36 --> 2659.20] It's a nonsense reality. |
[2661.50 --> 2663.24] And that's what I want us to look at this morning. |
[2664.22 --> 2669.16] My theme for today comes from verse 11 of the text we read, |
[2669.16 --> 2670.46] where we read, |
[2670.62 --> 2676.38] they did not believe the women because their words seemed to them like nonsense. |
[2679.46 --> 2687.88] What does it mean to have resurrection faith in an age of nonsense? |
[2689.36 --> 2693.92] Or to have faith in nonsense when nonsense seems to be the norm? |
[2693.92 --> 2699.76] Now, here's the thing before we start. |
[2700.74 --> 2703.72] We say this, or a version of this, all the time. |
[2704.22 --> 2706.88] If you listen to the Narthex podcast, |
[2707.04 --> 2710.14] Josh has made this refrain famous. |
[2710.66 --> 2713.96] The truth is, the Bible was not written to you. |
[2714.12 --> 2715.86] It was written for you. |
[2717.16 --> 2720.52] And part of what that means is that the world and the culture of the Bible |
[2720.52 --> 2724.94] are different than our own, and that is important to recognize |
[2724.94 --> 2727.28] if you're going to read the Bible correctly. |
[2728.90 --> 2729.12] Right? |
[2730.08 --> 2733.90] There's a wrong way to read the Bible. |
[2733.90 --> 2744.38] And sometimes we come at stories like this from the perspective of, |
