    From Womb To The Tomb

    Contributed by Chris Mccall on Apr 21, 2025
     | 254 views

    You may be wondering what does “From Womb to Tomb” have to do with the Easter message. There had to be a journey to get there. I want to take on that journey so that we may connect with the fullness of Easter & the incredible value it has brought to all who truly accept the Good News gospel.

    Here we are with one of the greatest weekends that the church gets to celebrate each year. If it were not for this weekend’s event taking place, there would be no gospel nor a message of Good News! I am always humbled delivering this message of hope on this weekend because there are many who ...read more

Mark’s Gospel is designed to demonstrate to his Roman audience–and us–that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and Messiah. Look how few ...read more
