A Risen Redeemer Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 28, 2021

We want to consider the great story of the resurrection from the point of view of two groups of people. Both groups are believers, but Mark's account first deals with the experience of the women, and then of the men.

Back in 1851 two missionaries, one English and the other American, were walking past the temple of Siva in Tanjore, India. They noticed the people carrying out one of the brass idols.

The Reality Of Resurrection Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 28, 2021

G. Campbell Morgan said, "The resurrection is a fact that cannot be proved except to the faith of the heart." The evidence must be approached with faith, or it will not convince the skeptic.

"Friday Tragedy? Easter Triumph!”

Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Mar 31, 2021
