Scripture: John 20:1-18
Mary Magdalene was an empty cup and an empty cross and empty tomb filled her up. And if you are an empty cup this morning, let me tell you how an empty cross and an empty tomb can fill you up.
Have you ever tried to help someone who doesn’t want to be helped? Pretty frustrating, amen? Just ask Jesus.

What a blessing it is to have John's account of the resurrection of Jesus from the dead along with the other witness of the Gospels.

Purpose: Let’s rediscover the hope of the resurrection. Plan: Let’s read John 20:1-18 and springboard ...read more

Scripture: John 20:1-18, Luke 7:37-50
Every person comes to faith differently. Mary Magdalene was one of the last people at the cross and first to the tomb. Although she was marginalized by society she was a loyal follower of Jesus.
I HAVE SEEN THE LORD! John 20:1-18 I suppose that one of the reasons that I like history is the fact that it is chronological. We had a high-school teacher in Indiana that would start the school term with the big current event of the day and then move backward through history to make it more ...read more
