    This sermon was preached on Easter 2002 as I was dressed in a Roman Centurion Soldier costume. I preached the sermon as the soldier that was an eyewitness to the events of the first Easter.

Just three days after He was crucified and put into a guarded sealed tomb! And, we’ve got two amazing groups of people 1) His enemies who know He’s ...read more
