Thank you for joining us at Immanuel Community Reformed Church where our mission is, “Going into our community, imitating Christ, by feeding body and soul.
Please welcome Rev. Tom Grabill this morning who will be preaching to us today from Luke 24:36-49, asking the question, “If eternal life exists, could loved ones contact us from beyond?” and “If this happened, what would we do, feel, say?”
The disciples spoke with Jesus after His death. In the encounter Jesus offered peace, reassurance, anda response. This extraordinary encounter set the scope of Luke's second book, the book of Acts. Might it still have the power to catalyze the continued spread of God's love even today?
