    Easter Impact

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Feb 20, 2018
     | 6,525 views

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

    John, called the Beloved Disciple, is clearly the hero of Easter morning! He is spiritually superior with love and understanding; runs fastest. Between John, Peter, and Mary Magdalene— all of whom were at the empty tomb on that first Easter morning— only John had faith in the Physical ...read more

    I would like to thank Pastor Jerry Shirley for sharing this series on Acts. It has been a blessing as well as a great help. I have used these for our church, as I spend my days caring for my dying father.

    “The Great Pretender” Acts 8:9-25 In the first eight verses of chapter 8 we saw revival come to Samaria as Philip the Evangelist preached the good news of Jesus Christ. Miracles were performed, souls saved. Just a few verses in and we see that wherever God sends genuine revival, Satan ...read more

    See here is a great truth… it is not enough to believe that Jesus exists, or that he lived long ago, or that he was a good man, or even a great man

    Shouldn’t marriages that are contrary to sound biblical doctrines be rightly, albeit be legally, kept away from the church just as men wittingly keeps out of the ladies in public places and vice versa.
