Encounters Part 2- Easter Sunday 

Mary Magdalene 

Today we continue in our Easter teaching series called Encounters. 

We are looking at different stories in the bible where people personally encounter Jesus. Today we are looking at Jesus’ encounter with Mary Magdalene on resurrection Sunday morning. 

What did this encounter mean for Mary? What can we learn from it today?

03/22/26 – Harrisonburg campus: Hurdles Part 4: Unforgiveness – Pastor Billy Logan
03/23/2026

How can we live "strong in grace.”? 

The answer is quite plain and simple:  

We grow strong in grace when we understand God's unconditional forgiveness of us, then learn to unconditionally forgive others. 

God calls us to grow strong in giving grace to others — growing in Christlikeness 

Giving grace to another person is simply to forgive them, unconditionally, just as God forgave us through Christ 

SO, WHAT IS FORGIVENESS? 

Forgiveness = Deliberate release of anger, resentment, and other negative feelings toward someone who has wronged you

The Hurdle of Unforgiveness

Recap – Pastor Jared has been sharing over the past few weeks about the hurdles to our faith sharing and asking to evaluate us where we are in these potential hurdles and how they are impeding us?

Are we attempting to live a saved life without actually giving our life to Jesus, have we fully surrendered and received the gift of sanctification that frees us from a desire to live in the depths of sin, and then he reminded us the destruction that even a little bit of sin will bring to ou...

And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.””‭‭Matthew‬ ‭22‬:‭36‬-‭40‬ ‭NIV‬‬

“As Jesus started on his way, a man ran up to him and fell on his knees before him. “Good teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?” “Why do you call me good?” Jesus answered. “No one is good—except God alone. You know the commandments: ‘You shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, you shall not defraud, honor your father and mother.’” “Teacher,” he declared, “all these I have kept since I was a boy.” Jesus looked at him and loved him. “One thing you lack,” he said. “Go, sel...

Today we are completing our four-week series called Relationships Righted. You can access our messages at COTNAZ.org, WATCH/LISTEN ONLINE.

Over the last three weeks we have focused on relationships and focusing on “putting God first in our lives” so that our life is a living testimony to the LORD.

Today we are going to focus on relationships in the workplace. Can we truly worship God in the workplace and build and nurture relationships with our co-workers and bosses so that we point them to Christ?

Let us pray.

Today's message is a conversation about Nehemiah and the story in the Bible about him rebuilding the wall and why this series was chosen to start the year.

“Eliashib the high priest and his fellow priests went to work and rebuilt the Sheep Gate. They dedicated it and set its doors in place, building as far as the Tower of the Hundred, which they dedicated, and as far as the Tower of Hananel. The men of Jericho built the adjoining section, and Zakkur son of Imri built next to them. The Fish Gate was rebuilt by the so...

To rebuild can mean to make extensive repairs, or to restore something back to a previous state. To simply build again. 

As we continue in Nehemiah, we are looking at the middle of the rebuilding story to see the importance of a prayerful and practical response to resistance.

Jacob replied, “First sell me your birthright.” “Look, I am about to die,” Esau said. “What good is the birthright to me?” But Jacob said, “Swear to me first.” So he swore an oath to him, selling his birthright to Jacob. Then Jacob gave Esau some bread and some lentil stew. He ate and drank, and then got up and left. So Esau d...
