From the praise of Palm Sunday... Through the curse of Calvary... To the triumph of the empty tomb Romans 1:1, 3-4 ESV Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God,... concerning his Son, who was descended from David according to the flesh and was declared to be the Son of God in power according to the Spirit of holiness by his resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord.

Satisfying contemporary despair: God is dead... no heroism, no intensity of thought and feeling can preserve an individual life beyond the grave... all the labor of the ages... all the brightness of human genius is destined to extinction in the vast death of the solar system... only on the firm foundation of unyielding despair can the soul s salvation henceforth be safely built. Bertrand Russell
Satisfying contemporary despair: God is dead You would have no power over me if it were not given to you from above, Jesus boldly told His accuser. He fully understood that the man to whom He spoke had the power to put Him to death. But Jesus also knew the One who had the power to put Him to life. Bob Morrison
Satisfying contemporary despair: God is dead It is the same One who has the power to give life to each one of us, eternal life. It is for that reason that we look this week at the Cross and beyond the Cross. Bob Morrison
Satisfying contemporary despair: God is dead Our Lord has Written the Promise of the Resurrection not in Books alone, but in every leaf in Springtime. Martin Luther
