    Christ had died-this they knew. However, there were three ladies who had the idea that if they could get to the tomb, early in the morning on the first day of the week, they would give Christ a proper burial, leave and be gone before anyone knew it.

    The Lordship Of The Risen Christ

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Mar 27, 2016

     | 4,275 views

    A key accomplishment of the empty tomb is so Jesus might be “the Lord of both the dead and the living.” Lordship implies ownership or the right to exercise authority over another. When we come to Jesus, we're under new management.

    “Christ died and returned to life so that He might be the Lord of both the dead and the living.” A few months ago I was summoned to serve jury duty for a serious murder case. Because of my former work with law enforcement and corrections, I wasn't selected, but I followed the case, ...read more

    The Gospel reports agree that the tomb in which Jesus was buried was empty before daylight on Sunday morning. Since He arose at 6:00 P. M. on Saturday/Sunday there are twelve mysterious hours during which time Jesus Christ went on a preaching mission.

    EASTER TWELVE UNACCOUNTED FOR HOURS TEXT: Matthew 28:1, Mark 16:2, Luke 24:1, John 20:1 INTRODUCTION: The Gospel reports agree that the tomb in which Jesus was buried was empty before daylight on Sunday morning.

    A Sunday School teacher asked the class: "What were the first words Jesus said after leaving the tomb." A little girl lifted her hands in the air and responded; "Ta Da"! O' Beloved; Ta Da Jesus Christ has Risen indeed.

    Let us pray O' Heavenly Father it is through your only begotten Son Jesus that we have the gift of eternal life. For He overcame death ... and opened to us the gate of everlasting life: Grant that we, ... who this day ... celebrate with joy our Lord's resurrection, ... may be raised from the ...read more

    The stone that covered the garden tombs entrance was not the only stone God removed that faithful sunday morning. He removed the stone of death, the stone of doubt. However God will never remove the stone of unbelief. Come see that God is still rolling

    Intro: The resurrection of Jesus Christ is not only the cornerstone of our Christian faith it is the capstone.

    Christianity begins where other religions end - with the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the tomb. Other religions point may point to a founder as Christianity, but they must also point to a founder’s grave. ONLY Christianity is able to point to an em

    Rolling Away The Stones

     | 12,322 views

    The stone was not rolled away from the tomb to let Jesus out, but to let us in. We have many stones that block us from experiencing the resurrection power of Jesus Christ. We need to roll those stones away.

    Philippians 3:10-11 (NLT) "I want to know Christ and experience the mighty power that raised Him from the dead. I want to suffer with Him, sharing in His death, so that one way or another I will experience the resurrection from the dead!" This morning we come here to celebrate the most glorious ...read more

    "Friday Tragedy? Easter Triumph!”

     | 3,685 views

    If the body of Jesus had decayed into dust within the borrowed tomb, we would not be singing the songs of Easter. They thought It was a tragic end to the “One” who had raised the dead. Tears told the sadness in their hearts. Resurrection shatters the grip of fear.

    The fact of our death, although it has not yet occurred is certain and written in stone. But the fact of our resurrection in Christ, although it has not yet occurred is more certain, and written in the stone of His empty tomb and on the stone which was rolled away.

    J. J. May the words of my mouth, and the meditations of our hearts, be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord, our Rock and our Redeemer. Amen. (Ps. 19:14) “Written in Stone” Alleluia, He is risen.

    Why Believe The Good News Of Easter

     | 7,948 views

    Our Easter joy is not always immediate. It certainly wasn't immediate for Jesus' first disciples either. Even the empty tomb and the angel's proclamation left them bewildered. It was in remembering Jesus' own words that the Spirit brought them to faith.

    “Why Believe the Good News of Easter,” Luke 24:1-12, Easter Sunday, March 27, 2016 Brothers and sisters, you probably know that this coming Friday is “April Fools’ Day;” a day that is always celebrated every year on the first day of April. It’s a day, when ...read more

     | 263 views

    Joseph of Arimathea was a wealthy and influential man who initially followed Jesus in secret but later demonstrated his faith boldly by burying Jesus in his own tomb. His life teaches us that faith requires action, courage, and sacrifice.

    The Graves That Couldn't Be Shut

    In our text we see the singularly most important and impressive truth of the resurrection is a cemetery filled with graves which men were powerless to close. These graves were opened at the time that Jesus died; but those inside the graves would not come

    The opening words suggest that this psalm is an appeal for help during bad times when evil men dominate. There are times when sin seems rampant, sweeping all before it like a tidal wave.

    The Smell Will Be Awful!

    Contributed by Keith Broyles on Oct 7, 2014
     | 6,452 views

    When we have faith we aren’t afraid of what is on the other side. Sure, some might say, “the smell will be awful.” But what we know has nothing to do with a smell. We know, what waits on the other side of the stone is the power of Almighty God.

    Our sense of smell can be one of the most powerful of all our senses. The sense of smell can the most powerful of all our senses. It can generate good feelings like chocolate chip cookies or fresh bread baking. When we were living in Tyler I loved to walk in the mall at Christmas time. There was a ...read more

    What about all those people who died before that debt was paid? The Bible teaches us that there was a place in the heart of the Earth called Paradise.
