Dawn for the Dead: Andrew Gardner

Posted on 7 April 2013 by Fulwood Free Methodist Church

Amazing things are happening in New York Hospitals. On the the back of wonderful research and practise at Stoneybrook University Hospital, New York is now a good place to have a heart attack.

Sam Parnia a British doctor has pioneered the “Lazarus Effect” of resuscitation; bringing people dead from heart attacks back to life.

In his book “Erasing Death” he says,

“Recent scientific advances have produced a seismic shift in our understanding of death — challenging our perceptions of death as being absolutely implacable and final — and have thus rendered many of our strongest-held views regarding death as outdated and old-fashioned.”

Now that is a great claim , but it sounds familiar; a lot like something which happened about 2000 years ago!

His incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of His mighty strength which He exerted in Christ when He raised Him from the dead

Ephesians 1:18

Reality Check – When Life Hits the Buffers: Ian Higginbotham

Posted on 7 April 2013 by Fulwood Free Methodist Church

For most of us life is not a smooth journey. Huge climaxes then gut wrenching emptiness. Cataclysmic activity in major life events – good or bad, then activity stops and you’re left bewildered and empty.

The disciples were like that. In this week after Easter the Disciples suddenly find themselves bereaved, yet not bereaved – and wondering what to do next.

There are many of us for whom something has happened leaving a mix of fear and emptiness in our lives.
