Reading: Acts 1:1-11, 2:1-6, 14-21
This week was the last in our series of sermons focusing on specific people changed by an encounter with the resurrected Jesus. We looked at the birth of the church this week (it was Pentecost Sunday, after all), in preparation for a week of prayer we have coming up in June. We want to be people who are changed by our prayer and by the presence of the Holy Spirit.

The Story of Cleopas and his Companion
Reading: Luke 24:13-35
We celebrated communion together this week, so it seemed fitting to look at one of the post-resurrection meal stories in the gospels. Our focus was on how Jesus revealed himself through the ordinary things to his companions on the walk to Emmaus.

The Story of Mary
Reading: John 2:1-11, 19:19-27
It seems appropriate for Mother's Day to take a look at the story of Mary, the mother of Jesus, even though we don't actually have a biblical record of her having any encounters with the risen Christ, as the rest of the people in this sermon series did. There's certainly much more that could be said about Mary, but at the very least, we have to recognize the example she is of the power of humility.

The Story of Paul
Reading: Acts 9:1-22; Galatians 2:11-21
We're continuing to see how an encounter with the resurrected Jesus changes people's lives, and our focus for this week was the Apostle Paul. Paul has had such a huge impact on the church and his teachings are so deep that it's difficult to distill his life's story into one sermon. It's worth it, though, because there really aren't many people who have undergone such a powerful change.
