    Contributed by Jason Tesser on Apr 14, 2009
     | 3,823 views

    Does it matter if Christ really died and rose from the dead. Can’t we just believe in God and that is all that matters?

She told me she had been going to a Bible study at her church, led by her pastor, and he was saying that it was Jesus’ body that was raised from the dead. She has been in the church most of her life, but somehow that ...read more

    Who Will Roll Away The Stone? (Easter Sunrise 2015)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Apr 6, 2022
     | 1,984 views

    We seem to need the evidence of the stone being rolled away before we will believe. Is our fear creating distance between who we are and who God wants us to be?

    WHO WILL ROLL AWAY THE STONE? Text: Mark 16:1- 20 Did you notice who saw Jesus first? Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Salome were wondering who would roll the stone away. That stone can be thought of as a metaphor---a barrier between belief and unbelief. As ...read more
