Tears At The Tomb Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 5, 2021

John makes Mary the first to see the risen Christ, and the first to have her tears of grief wiped away by the reality of the resurrection.

It I had a dollar for every tear shed by men and women if the Bible, I would be a wealthy man, for the Bible is a book soaked with the tears of the saints. The weeping of the wicked and the sobs of sinners added to the tears of the saints makes a salty sea of liquid. Not only was Jesus a man of ...read more

Tombs And Chains

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 6, 2022

Introduction: This passage of scripture that I will be preaching from is surrounded by situations that seem to be impossible to deal with.

Race To The Tomb

Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Mar 31, 2010

All of us are running in this world. Some are running to God, some trying to run away from Him. How far will they go? We should be running in a spiritual way. All our focus needs to be on the tomb where Jesus rose to new life and will take us with him to

The Tomb Is Empty

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Mar 19, 2023
