Mark's account unveils a resurrection marked by amazement, revealing God's presence in unexpected bursts of glory.
Questions for the Week: Resurrected Way: Amazed
The sermon talked about the women at the tomb being filled with "astonishment and amazement." Can you recall a time recently when you felt genuinely amazed by something? What was it, and what made it so surprising or wonderful?
Read Mark 16:1-8. The sermon connects moments of amazement throughout Mark's Gospel (healings, calming the storm, etc.) to the amazement at the resurrection. How do these earlier moments prepare us for the ultimate amazement of Jesus's resurrection?
We see that amazement is a sign of God "breaking in." Where do you see signs of God "breaking in" or bringing forth the amazing in the world today, even in ordinary circumstances?

This sermon could just as easily be titled YHWH I AM EGO EIMI. Today we are going to take a journey to the Land of Holiness. When we get there, we will still be here.. Yes, that is a paradox. No, we are not going to leave this sanctuary. This is a journey of the heart, of the soul. Once we know where holiness lives, it will come alive in us.
