Sermons
Below are podcasts of sermons proclaimed in the sanctuary of Riverside Baptist Church. It can be useful to study themes and ideas and ponder the proclamation. If these sermons are used by you in your own sermons or speeches, I ask only that you make every effort to cite the source accurately. Most importantly, as you journey in faith, I invite you to dialogue with me about the texts you are about to read.

Luke 24:1-11
24:1 But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they went to the tomb, taking the spices they had prepared. 2 And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb, 3 but when they went in they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. 4 While they were perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel. 5 And as they were frightened and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead? 6 He is not here, but has risen. Remember how he told you, while he was still in Galilee, 7 that the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men and be crucified and on the third day rise.” 8 And they remembered his words, 9 and returning from the tomb they told all these things to the eleven and to all the rest. 10 Now it was Mary Magdalene and Joanna and Mary the mother of James and the other women with them who told these things to the apostles, 11 but these words seemed to them an idle tale, and they did not believe them.
