Easter Special! The King's Alive - Sunday Stories for Families

About this sermon

The King's Alive - Mark 16:1-8 On the third day after Jesus died, the women found his tomb empty and an angel told them Jesus had risen just as he had said he would. In todays story we see that Jesus' resurrection proves he has taken our punishment and is able to give us life forever. 1 - Do you think the three women could have moved the heavy stone? 2 - How do you think the women felt when they saw the angel? 3 - How do we feel knowing that Jesus is alive again? Perhaps finish by simply asking, “What difference does it make to us that Jesus did rise again?” What difference does it make when we feel awful about things we have said or done? What difference does it make when we’re worried about death? What difference does it make about how we feel about Jesus? What difference does it make when we worry that Christianity might not be true?
