Easter Impact

Contributed by Paul Andrew on Feb 20, 2018

Mary Magdalene has the biggest “narrative impact” on Easter morningI: “I have seen the Lord." Which speaks of her life-transforming experience.

Peter And Easter

Contributed by James Hickman on Mar 19, 2016

Peter and Easter Luke 24:12 Though the women told and retold the story of their experience at the empty tomb, the Eleven and the other disciples didn't believe them. It was just too incredible.

An Easter Sermon

Contributed by Martin Ellgar on Dec 12, 2014
