The Resurrection Story Series

Contributed by Chris Anderson on Mar 15, 2023

When Jesus was crucified, the message was relayed all across the land that the Messiah was dead. But later, on the third day, the fog would lift. What looked like a crushing defeat was nothing more than the set-up for an incredible victory of sin, death, and hell.

Still, the ENTIRE country of England knew that General Wellington was facing Napoleon in a ...read more
