But using the interaction Jesus has on the Road to Emmaus, we see how Jesus interprets this whole story...all in light of himself. This sheds a new light on the life, death, and especially the resurrection of Christ, and what it means for our story. http://www.willamettecommunity.com/sermon/the-road-to-emmaus http://www.willamettecommunity.com/mediafiles/the-road-to-emmaus.mp3 Sun, 06 Apr 2008 19:01:31 UTC Adam Hendrix Embracing Resurrection story,resurrection,jew,jewish,jesus 50:09 Zach Bayer brings the first message in the Series, Embracing Resurrection, where we explore the implications of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.

This week we find ourselves in the late night conversation between Jesus and Nicodemus. We see the pharisees struggle to understand, and we see in a fresh light the key that Jesus hands him to unlock the meaning of his words. That key is an obscure story from the Old Testament. But in it we see the meaning of Jesus' words. http://www.willamettecommunity.com/sermon/silly-snakes-foolish-cross http://www.willamettecommunity.com/mediafiles/silly-snakes-foolish-cross.mp3 Sun, 17 Feb 2008 22:50:20 UTC Adam Hendrix Journey to the Cross 54:15 Zach Bayer brings a passionate message about Jesus' "Journey to the Cross".
