Presented by Dr. Lynn Lease, this Easter Devotional is Part 3 of 3. Lynn is the Founder of the Jesus Sisterhood.
Welcome to the final part of our Easter devotional series. Today is a celebration! We celebrate Resurrection Sunday, the glorious day Jesus rose from the dead, conquering sin and death once and for all.
In the Gospel of John, we encounter a powerful moment between Jesus and Mary Magdalene. Mary was a woman who had earlier been healed by Jesus. Mary had spent much time with Jesus, traveling with Him and the disciples and supporting their ministry work. After Jesus' resurrection, Mary was weeping outside the empty tomb when she encountered two angels who asked her why she was crying.
As we celebrate Resurrection Sunday, let us remember that Jesus is alive. He has risen. Let’s listen for the Savior's voice today as we eagerly look for him. May we, like Mary, respond to the voice of our Savior with love, devotion, and unwavering faith. And may we proclaim this good news to others with joy announcing that we have seen the Lord.

Presented by Dr. Lynn Lease, this Easter Devotional is Part 2 of 3. Lynn is the Founder of the Jesus Sisterhood.
Welcome and thank you for joining me for this special three-part Easter devotional series.
We are grateful you're taking the time during this holy season to pause and reflect with us as we explore some of the words of Jesus.
Today we are focused on Good Friday. This is the day we commemorate the ultimate sacrifice Jesus made for us on the cross. According to the Gospel accounts, Jesus was arrested, beaten, and sentenced to death by crucifixion ordered by Pontius Pilate. Jesus was nailed to a cross at Calvary and suffered immensely before dying that afternoon.
If this is a day of remembering this tragic event, why then do we call it Good Friday? What was so good about our Savior dying? To answer that question, we can consider Jesus’ final words from the cross.
As we reflect on Jesus' words, we're reminded that His sacrifice on the cross was entirely sufficient for us. The penalty for our sin has been paid in full by the perfect Lamb of God. We need only to believe and accept this precious sacrifice as a gift from God. This Easter season, let’s approach this Good Friday with gratitude as we remember the sacrifice and the good that comes from it, the good news that our salvation has been achieved for us through Jesus. Let’s rest in the truth that it is finished.

I recently had the opportunity to speak at the Southern Florida District Church of the Nazarene annual district women’s retreat at the beautiful Lake Placid Camp and Conference Center. This year's theme was rest renew and return to serve. It was a much-needed time of fellowship, worship, and unhurried rest spent with God and my beautiful Jesus Sisters. The Holy Spirit was at work there among us and we were blessed to see the power of God's healing and restoration in so many remarkable ways.
Today in this podcast episode I'm sharing with you the talk I gave called, “Come Daughter Dance with Me: Finding Your Daily Rhythm with the Father.” I hope you enjoy and I pray this blesses you!*********Subscribe today! You'll get a notification each time a new episode is released.

Thanks for tuning in! Listen in as we wrap up this teaching series on the teaching names of the Holy Spirit by exploring the final two names on our list: the Spirit of Understanding and the Spirit of Wisdom. If you did not start at the beginning, you can circle back to Episode 014 Series Introduction: Teaching Names of the Holy Spirit which started this series.
These concepts of understanding and wisdom, while closely related, hold distinct roles in our spiritual growth. Understanding brings clarity to the truths we know, transforming knowledge into clarity in our minds. Wisdom, on the other hand, empowers us to discern truth from falsehood and to apply God's truths to our everyday lives. Every day we are constantly inundated with information through our relationships, social media, and various news sources. This episode sheds light on how the Holy Spirit equips us to sift through this barrage of information and recognize the authentic truth amidst the noise.
Join us as we continue in Isaiah 11:1-3 and also unpack the promise found in James 1:5-8, where we're assured that if we ask for wisdom, God will generously without finding fault. Our role in this divine exchange is to engage with the Holy Spirit, allowing its guidance to manifest wisdom in our actions and decisions. We discuss practical ways to invite the Holy Spirit's teachings into our lives, including spending time in the Word, dedicating time to prayer, and cultivating fellowship with fellow believers. Discover how these practices can enrich your spiritual journey and lead you to a deeper connection with the teaching Holy Spirit.

If you did not start at the beginning, you can circle back to Episode 014 Series Introduction: Teaching Names of the Holy Spirit which started this series.
Have you ever felt paralyzed by fear, gripped by anxiety, or overwhelmed with worry to the point of feeling completely out of control? In this seventh episode in this teaching series, we examine the empowering role of the Holy Spirit in developing in us a spirit of a sound mind. Without a sound mind, we are unable to see through the fog of fear and anxiety.
Join me as we explore the profound truth tucked within 2 Timothy 1:7 and learn about the Holy Spirit's teaching role helping us to maintain composure and clarity even when chaos surrounds us. Discover how the Holy Spirit can dissolve fears and enable rational thought, allowing us to navigate life's wild rides with peace and clarity.

Thanks for tuning in to this teaching series. This week I'll share three short episodes to help us finish our journey through the series focused on learning about the Holy Spirit as our teacher. If you did not listen to Episode 014 Series Introduction: Teaching Names of the Holy Spirit which started this series, be sure to listen to that for an overview of this series.
In this sixth episode in this series, we explore the enriching and teaching role of the Holy Spirit as the Spirit of Knowledge. Drawing from Isaiah 11:1-2, we contemplate the profound truth that the Holy Spirit imparts wisdom about God and Jesus to us.
The episode touches on the importance of the Holy Spirit in reminding us of Jesus's teachings and how this divine guide works in tandem with our own efforts to understand spiritual truths. We reflect on the insight provided by Elmer Towns, emphasizing that the Holy Spirit doesn't just hand us answers but illuminates the scriptures as we actively engage with the Word of God.

In today's episode, we hear from Pastor Tom Parker, an old friend from high school. After 32 years God allowed our paths to cross once again. It's amazing to reconnect with friends from long ago to get a first hand look at the amazing things God can do in and through a person's life when they turn to Him. Tom has been in ministry for a number of years and is now the Area Director for Young Life in the Nort Port, Charlotte Harbor, Englewood area in Florida.
The traditional church youth ministry is built to reach the kids that show up to the church building. That certainly has a purpose and fills a need. Tom explains in this episode that his job in Young Life is to meet kids where they are. He has an amazing story of meeting with .... at an area mall where they feed kids a hot meal, offer them clothes and other items of need, listen to them, hang out and connect with them, and share the good news of Jesus! Their mission it to go after the kid furthest from God so they can reach all the kids in between along the way. They are chasing down teens to introduce them to Jesus!

Are you currently or soon to be living in an empty nest? Just one Google search of the phrase "empty nest" gives some insight into the many struggles and benefits of this later phase of life. I'm just a few years away from my kids flying off, so I wanted to get some advise from my friend Raeanne. Raeanne and her husband transitioned very quickly from a full house bustling with activities to a calm and quiet empty nest. Raeanne has an easy-going attitude and offers some great advise on what we can do before that nest is empty to make sure that once we are left alone, we aren't left wondering who we are or what to do next.

Sandy and her husband Dan have been bonding with their five grandkids through their decade-long annual family tradition, GrandCamp Sertell! In this episode, Sandy shares the details of this family tradition and all the aspects that make it successful, including proper planning, a camp logo and camp t-shirts, games, devotionals, materials, activities, field trips, and even their camp rules and time-out strategies.
One glance at Sandy's pictures from the many camps over the years, its obvious that the kids are loving this time with Grandma, Grandpa, and each other. This tradition has evolved over the years as the kids have aged from littles to pre-teens and teens, but their time together has always been grounded in sharing the love and hope of Jesus and the Bible.
If you long for a deeper connection with grandkids or you have kids you would love to help connect with their grandparents and/or cousins, this is the episode to get the scoop on how to make that happen!
