  • Aye he dies

  • thats sad.. i got nothing from the mess.he yollaed to much. GOD.did not get any glory out of that

  • So glad he lives!

  • this is crazy doesn't make any sense more fun than anything this should have been on dave chapelle show

  • You've got to be kidding me.....this is waaaaaay over the top.

  • I suppose there's no problem with using visual demonstration in a sermon to illustrate the message, as long as it isn't a show. There is a thin line.

  • A bit over the top

  • Amen, what ever works to help the people under the word. It works. It's the word. There is no rule that a Pastor can't use this kind of statement in service to help the membership. Amen and keep it up all in Jesus Name

  • lol

  • Ummm.. i didnt like this.

  • Personally I don't think we should even celebrate Easter for two reasons. One no where in the Bible does it even say to celebrate Jesus resurrection. If it does, show me proof. The resurrection is a guaranteed act from God, unlike his death which was chosen by Jesus himself. Secondly, like many claimed Christians, they have no idea what the origins of Easter are. Easter is clearly a pagan holiday and can easily be researched right back to different gods. Jesus died on Nisan 14. Luke 22:18

  • @nit3shift you're so right!!  We're to keep the Passover, not a pagan idolatrous festival as easter (the worship of the fertility goddess Ishtareth/Estoreth/Semiramis, of babylonian origin).

  • i'm sorry but that was just too much extra.

  • Seriously, dude? A casket? Of all the coonery I've seen in church, this has to be tops.

  • They should have shut the lid and locked it.

  • OMG!!! Did he really get in the casket??? LOL!

  • speak your lesson doc

  • im SO SICK AND TIRED OF OUR PEOPLE INTO THIS RELIGION STUFF THAT I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ...IT IS SICKNING...IT HAS DONE NOTHING FOR US AND WILL NEVER DO ANYTING ...

  • This wasn't over the top. It was to YOU because you were not there. I thought it was a good message and If 6 people wet to Christ that day then, who are you to say that it was wrong? It's no different then how some preachers do illustrated sermons.

  • OK, this is like WT?!! Not to split hairs theologically, but Jesus wasn't buried in a casket. This is simply an oversimplistic retelling of the resurrection without any theological import. This was all about drama and effect as opposed to any real impartation.

  • beeing a minister I understand

  • this is a mess!

  • @WizArdOZfan42 This is not a mess. This is a HOT MESS!!!

  • Praise God,.. what a message. He died for all are sins and got up with all power in his hands, thank you Jesus

  • C'Mon Son....

    Kinda on the creepy side. 

  • too long, like church services..whatever..all for show

  • Yep. I'm sure Jesus feels glorified with this mess. *Note the sarcasm*

  • Churches these days are going more and more crazy and unGodly. Come Lord. The sooner the better.

  • This was a tad bit too much illustration!!!

  • This is the most ridiculous, idiotic, inane attempt at theatrics I've ever witnessed!!!!

  • Wow, I thought that the message of the cross was powerful all on it's on. Minus all the dramatics and screaming. I could have sworn the Apostle Paul said that the GOSPEL is the power God unto salvation for all those who believe. Not your dramatic presentation. I couldn't even hear what he was saying over all the " Sundaaaaaaaay Mownin Sundaaaaay Mownin AaaaaaaaaaaWWWWWWWWWWWWWW AAAAAAAAAAAhHHHHHHHHHHHHHH". SMH

  • This is what I call scary church...but, the brother got his point across. I have to admit, had I been there, I would have probably left the moment they wheeled in the casket. But, again I say, the brother got his point across. Bless him!

  • That is so stupid he is in the casket singing he is crazy

  • I like so much, I've got to preach this thang myself. I already use a casket for my annual Satan's Funeral Program, but maybe this Easter.....mmmmmmmmmm. Now that's shouting, say what you want, but ain't no denying the presence of the Holy Ghost. The only folk I found out that have a problem with a casket being used as a teaching tool are those folk that ain't faced their own mortality.

  • That Was Great!!! I Hear The Shouting!! Amen!

  • @BrotherWilliams565 Are you sure that angles was not screaming and shaking his angelic head???

  • i didnt like that at all...that was to much...my dad is a preacher and he preached on that subject without out doing all that "show" and the point got across to everyone the same..Some like a show.. jus like this one.

  • y he keep saying oh yea he died,,,,,,,,,,,,wtf

  • case in point...notice how man respondents who wrote comments and notice how many views? but, it's the saints causing all the raucus...god bless!

  • My initial reaction was that this re-enactment was extreme, then I thought...aren't we experiencing some extreme times nowadays? frequent & devastating natural catastrophies; women unable to tell if husbands lie down with the same; the world unable to differentiate between saints and aints; wars and the probability worsening world-wide--need I go on?

  • Now this has some oil on it!!! Thank you Jesus for what you did for us.

  • Amen..Wonderful Word and message.. A real Blessing for real Christains and the lost. Great illustration. God Bless him

  • u know someone in the church was like WTF??

  • whooaa unto the shepard that scatter my flock! take it how you wanna take it!

  • PURE BLASPHEMY

  • WTF

  • charlene26 i c u dnt knw real preaching.... a real holyfilled preacher dnt just stay n da pulpit dumbass!!!

  • wow I think that was powerful

  • WOW

  • Folk so dead in church these days the po preacher have to try things outta the ordinary to keep our attention! He got a good whoop too!

  • WTF !!!!

  • This is called a illustration! That's nothing wrong with that.

  • @mkdken I do agree with you...

  • @mkdken Well if you are going to "illustrate" at least get the facts right. Jesus was not burried in a casket.

  • @youwashmeka123 Are you Serious. Why do people have to make things difficult.

    You can't bring a TOMB IN THE CHURCH. Oh well, there always problematic thoughts.

  • @mkdken have you ever tried bringing a tomb in the church??

  • never seen nothing like this you preach in a pulpit not in a coffin

  • Preach, Preachcher!

  • Wow, what a powerful sermon and a great illustration of the resurection of Jesus. WOW!!!!!

  • @jimjones2226 Jesus was not buried in a casket!!!

  • wouldnt it have been funny if he had a heart attack and died in the coffin.

  • knw rite.......lol

    i wouldve been no gud...

  • LOL

  • This preacher preached from a coffin....wow

  • You like that don't you? I tried to get him 2 do it now, but he says, "Naw buddy I'm not going to ever do that again!' Thats my grandfather, that was 20years ago!

  • Oh....My...Goodness

  • Why, just why ?

  • This was indeed ignorant. Just screaming in the casket!?!?

  • You think it is ignorant because you was not born on this biblical doctrine or back in the day! THIS IS REAL PREACHING BROTHER! WHAT YOU HEAR IS JUS A REMAKE OF THIS WORD! ALSO HE HOOPING BETTER THAN YOU AN YO PASTOR!!! IF YOU HAVE 1!!! IF YOU DONT THATS A SHAME!!

  • My God, My God Powerful!!!!

  • He is just painting a pictures for the church.

  • this is powerful!

  • This is hilarious and wayy over the top, yet i love the message =)

  • I would be afraid God would trap me in the casket!

    Can you rent a casket or put it on layaway or what?

    I'm just saying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • I have seen some strange things in my life but this by far the most ignorant thing that I have ever seen. Whatever caused this display of stupidity is beyond me. I hope that since then he has changed the way he need to reach the members of the church or they have decided to get a true messenger of God and not a actor.

  • Dude needs to repent, be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ, and receive the Holy Ghost (Acts 2:38). Want some real preaching, search Pastor Gino Jennings

  • yes

  • @NoSuchThingAsTrinity Is Gino Jennings that pastor that was beefin with the other pastor Tony Smith???

  • This Nigga Crazy!

  • lol........now this is a mess 4 real this is not funny.I would have got up an went home

  • It's all flesh. If he was preaching under TRUE annointing, then he wouldn't have to resort to these antics. God's word need no theatrics. God would not lead him to do this. This now becomes a distraction cause you can't even focus on the word cause you trying to wrap your mind around why this man is in a darn casket. Yelling and cleche repitition do not make preaching.

  • and you wonder why people dont come to church...

  • That comment had my screaming in laughter lol.

  • oh hell naw wat the fuck?

  • I COMPLETELY agree with ladeetease1... this actually made me angry... I don't believe God is glorified here.... And I am a SOULED OUT Christian but this is crazy...

  • It's all flesh. If he was preaching under TRUE annointing, then he wouldn't have to resort to these antics. God's word need no theatrics. God would not lead him to do this.

  • Why do people have a problem with the way the Gospel is explained, if you dont like it so what

  • I really dont think this was funny...

  • IM SURE U DONT

  • if i was a young kid i would be so scared, u talking about cant sleep at night..lol.....but that was very deep though, i never seen that done before

  • So the Rev. is just playing dead for the service, or did he really died. Yes I am not an Atheist and I am really asking.

  • @dacatholicbandorgan He was playing dead....Just think if he really died and then rose again do you think folk would've still been in the church??? IDK about you I would run for my life.lol

  • This was great!!! Good job Rev.

  • its not about him doing too much, he's trting to paint a picture to modern day. some ppl dont read the bible and dont know the bible and using props is a good way to understand what the bible talk about. i think its a good sermon and yall need to stop hatin if u cant do it

  • this is just plan SICK! I'm a shame of you Dr. Charles E. You could have done something better then this to make a point. Sick! Sick! Sick!

  • too much. come on now.

  • I think I would have died "that" Sunday morning if I had been in church that day. Good God!!

  • now dats just 2 much

  • O My Lord, now I thought I'd seen alot, but I was wrong. Now if I was 5 years old and saw this, I would have never been the SAME lmbo! Where did they get that casket!!! lmbo! It's touching yet creepy, Lord If I saw that now and unknowlingly at that time and in that I would've lifted up the finger and left !

  • look up in your dictinary the word "cretin" and you find the following definition .....

    .[French crétin, from French dialectal, deformed and mentally retarded person found in certain Alpine valleys, from Vulgar Latin* christiānus, **christian**, human being, poor fellow, from Latin Chrīstiānus, Christian; see Christian.]

    go look it up if you think im messing with y'all lol

  • sori i meant *dictionary*

  • The key is that many of us don't really believe that Jesus died and rose again. We still think that is impossible even though we have read it in scripture. But, those of us that believe on Him receive from Him a great reward, because we believe in the power of our God to anything. Hallelujah!!!

  • These people have no self control.

  • This is shock video, not good for the church.

  • Hahahahahaha... 0:54 that BOY IS SCARED... Lord Jesus... hahahahaha... LOL... then at 1:24 he realize it's a SKIT... hahahahaha he jump up clapping... Thanking God that this is not a Funeral... hahahahahahaha.... LOL!

  • I bet for some people that was surreal. There was a brief moment that I bet someone thought, He may very die one day. Sadly people don't think about that till they see a casket.

  • I get what he was trying to say. I had to watch video a couple of times. I thought it was a funeral. LOL

  • It's sad that black people have adopted the white mans bs religion. Shame

  • What is the White man's religion?

  • Christianity is! A religion that was pushed upon blacks during slavery should not be something we adopt as our belief today. I'll be damned if I pray to a white jesus

  • I totally believe that people are entitled to their own beliefs. I just want to understadn where your coming from. So what is the Black Man's religion? AND Jesus was actually Jewish. DO you consider Jews "white" also?

  • Jesus was black.

  • we shouldnt care what color He is,if im falling in hell,and I look up and see a Hand with a hole in the center of that Hand,do you think im going to reject that Hand because its black,white,purple,pink,violet crimson red,yellow,or just rainbow colors!The point is,Jesus Saves. He didnt care what color you were when He died for your sins. What IF Jesus was prejudice,God forbid, you and I wouldnt exist. But God's word. see, me and u are a whosoever people. read John 3:16 not by color. by beleiving

  • What the HE double hockey sticks was that. What did that dramatic representation have to do with Jesus' death and resurrection. That preacher was just showboatin'. How about you just stand at the pulpit and give the people the word so that they can go out and tell the world how to be saved. Gimme a break!

  • why he in that casket he is so sick for that

  • He has a pretty nice close!

    dM

  • Where is this church....I wanna go!!!!!!!!!!!

  • despite his technique or his style of preaching..I believe he got his point across the "HE DIED AND GOT UP"

  • HE DIED...YES HE DIED!!!!!!!!

  • What if you seen your mother raise from this casket, Wouldn't it be a glorious day?

  • wow

  • Just misinterpreted

  • The best one on here

  • He is preaching a lil ol school but it right

  • To each it's own. The casket bothered me a little but if that's the only way he fills he can get the point across,so be it. C.SNOW.

  • What????Jesus didnt raise on Sunday morning he rose on the Sabbath...3days and 3nights...hypocrites!!!

  • No it was sunday morning...read genesis...and the evening and the morning were the first day etc. God didn't create the names of the days of the week...remember that.

  • Yes, he didn't create the names of the days of the week but they where recognized as first day, second day, third day, fourth day, fifth day, six day, Sabbath day..Peace

  • THIS IS OUT OF ORDER

  • bugged out 2/3'rds niggaze gotta die

  • wat in the hek .wat is wrong with people these dAYS NO WONDER PEOPLE SAY OTHER PEOPLE IS CRAZY.

  • ???????????????????

  • what the hell. do anyone else find this disturbing

  • sure do...this is just morbid and wrong on so many levels!!!!!!!

  • Read Your BIBLES God Told Us To Show People of the world A Demostration when delivering the Word of God So Keep Your Tounge and comments to yourself. I dont even know this preacher. But if this is what it takes for people to believe then i say keep preaching and demostrating like the BIBLE Says to do.

    Not Man Nor Your Comments Or What You Think..Remember This It is in the Scriptures A Fools Mouth Is His Own Destruction. Judge Yourself People. God Bless You.Dont get Destroyed with your tounge..

  • Riiiight! We are in the last days and people are not believing like they used to 30 years ago( and that's not that long ago) If Preachers have to go to the extreme to get the Word across, go head! Exspecially with our young people!

  • Showing a demonstration means in your Christian walk not in a demonstration or "floor show". Is he trying to equate himself with Christ getting up out of the grave. Not being judgemental but I am trying to get to the point that there are souls to be saved and getting up out of a casket in your own church and saying "He got up etc.," is not winning souls. If he really wanted to save souls by doing this act he should take it outside the church.

  • ...than GOD and Christ Jesus himself. Some of these criticizing folk should check THEMSELVES.

  • Someone used the term dramatic??? Some folk or should I say not all folk are at the level of spiritual maturity as some others believe that they themselves are in order to receive just the same o'le message. This is no different than a theatrical production, easter play, christmas play in order to deliver the message. I just thank GOD for the 1 soul that may have been touched. GOD had the prophet Ezekiel to do some strange things to convey a message as well as Hosea. And who is more dramatic...

  • If someone, say an unsaved person asked me what does this video really mean - I would plead the Fifth" LOL! This is really a hot mess..... I am embarassed - speechless....

  • I feel so sorry for those kids watching this. The elders have no excuse.

  • Wow. What a show!!!!! He rose wearing a "White Suit" and everything.

    I wonder if he dramatized the "Ascension of Christ" the following Sunday? Wow!!!!

  • Disgraceful. Shame, shame, shame.

  • I hope I never see something like this again!!! Only thing we can do is pray that in being radical and non-traditional for Christ, that we dont lose our God-given minds in the process!!

  • why is he so dragmatic?!? Why the preacher gotta be in the casket??! Guess that's how you spice up a dry word!!! This is a shame...boy if church folk knew what they looked like!!!

  • WITW!!!!!!! Whatever happened to just preaching the Gospel??? I guess that's not enough anymore. Shame.

  • Thats some crazy stuff going on in that church, if I was a visitor I would think it is of the devil and left. Just watching the video makes my head spin! !

  • This is on hot ghetto mess . com! This is horrible the church is a joke no holiness but all forms of pagan entertainment. Entertainment N the church is not permitted that goes for the pastor's anniversary it's entertainment for the silly pastor! Appreciation serv of any kind all pagan! we got big mouths but no righteousness ppl sick dying going to hell but we want to entertain all those concerts church American idols, Sunday's best all pagan! If we had the right spirit we should/would do right!

  • what is really troublesome about that 'sermon' is that the vast majority of those in attendance probably couldn't tell you what the message was that day but they will tell you that 'he DEFINITELY preached!!' that's the sad reality of what people believe preaching is about. whatever happened to the LORD's Word being the focal point instead of all of the entertainment? an even better question: what do you think Christ's opinion would've been having come back and witnessing that charade? hmmmmmmmm

  • he got that drama illustration preaching from the great late leo dainels!!!!!!

  • I was on the organ...Pastor and I have always had that bond, he preach, I follow. I give God glory and appreciate your compliment

  • Oh i get it you are defending this stupidity because you actually partook the act.

  • either way this joker was preachin!!

  • I thought he was gonna bust out with the "Because he lived" song at the end...that would've been a hot cap off!...lol

  • I'm with you on that!!!!

  • jesus died, and they put him in a Tomb. Now what does dis casket have to do with Jesus's death?......TOO MUCH!!!!

  • lol..i agree with that..but it is a good demonstration...

  • He used a casket becuase for some reason tombs carved in the side of a mountain are hard to find in Gary...go figure!! By the way I was minister of music at the time! Too much? Nope because there were people there who didn't understand the ressurection story. Six people came to Christ that Easter morning! Too much! Nope, just enough!

  • In my opinion it was too much,. That's was just how I viewed it. It was a blessing for the people to come to christ,but yet and still, This video is on youtube and I've never seen anything like this before. Too much in my opinion.

  • ummmm...i do believe that this is NOT the bible days...therefore...we dont have TOMBS....therefore....this modern day casket has EVERYTHING to do with it....DUH!!!!!!!!

  • UMM NEXT!!

    LIKE I SAID....BEFORE!

    CASKET HAS NOTHING

    TO DO WITH IT....

    He went overboard...

  • that have every thing to do with it but ever body not belive in things other belives in

  • well i know what i believe in.

    I have every reason to shout.

    can't speak for everyone.

  • THINK YOU THAT IS RIGHT {REV.WARDLAW}

  • This is a good Demonstration what JESUS did for us!!! This was very Spiritual!!! You have to be in GOD to understand this!!!

  • I have members of my family that attend this church and have for years. Rev.Emory is a good man and an excellent clergyman. I live in Indy and we fellowship with them yearly

  • It's a Good message,But I'm too claustrophobic to be put in a casket even for a demonstration of my message not even for a short period of time,God Bless you Rev.Emory,Big ups to you!

    God Bless and Don't Stress

    Prophet Sheldon Winborn

  • religion have set people back so much.

    LIVE YOUR LIFE WITHOUT praying and tell me if you see a difference(in your pocket maybe?)

    The preachers dress in some $2000+ suits

  • and there are some musicians who spend that much in a month on drugs and gay sex.  Ooooops, sorry!

  • a little sense who make you get my point.

    Gay sex: Whats wrong to do whatever floats your boat?

    Drugs: Whats wrong with doing something that only hurts you rather than others?

    Musicians actually entertain people and don`t directly tell people what to do based on some old ass book and some Magician who walked on water 1000s of yrs ago

    Sorry for being a normal intellectual being who knows that Religion is a crap thing.

  • I gave you an thumbs up only to read your last line..Drugs affect more than the person taking them. The unborn child with a crack addict mother is affected as well as the victims of thousands of crimes tht take place each year. Also..Jesus was more than a magician being we still speak about him to this day.

  • well when you take drugs while pregnant you deserve to be shot in the fucken face right after you give birth. When I said you don`t harm anyone i actually considered being pregnant as to be with someone hence you shouldn`t be taking them if you are a normal being.
