    The Glory In Resurrection Series

    Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Jan 23, 2019
     | 7,566 views

    As the women made their way to the Garden Tomb, their lives were filled with uncertainty. There were more questions than answers. Their hopes and dreams were shattered, buried with Jesus three days ago. However, when they arrived at the tomb, hope was provided through the resurrection!

    The Glory in Resurrection Mark 16: 1-8 It had been a difficult time for those who loved and followed Jesus. The disciples and the faithful women were aware of His death upon the cross. No doubt their minds were filled with unanswered questions – what will we do now; where do we go from here; is ...read more

    In the year 1770, the British were sent to Boston. A silversmith named Paul Revere, and a friend of his named William Dawes, found out about a mission the British troops had, to steal the guns and gun powder from the Americans living in Lexington and Concord.

    They decided to act quickly. We are told by some historians that at 10:00 at night, Revere and his friend got their horses and started off to Lexington. They wanted to warn the people that the British were on their way. Paul Revere is credited for those famous words, “The British are Coming! The ...read more

    Most preachers enjoy the preaching of God’s Word. Why shouldn’t they…they have one of the greatest and most rewarding jobs that a person could have.
