Christ is risen, He is risen indeed!!! This morning Pastor Greg looks at the Easter morning through the eyes of Mary, rising up early to visit the tomb.

What we are talking about is different than the world’s happiness, it’s a lasting inner contentment and we are glad.

Read MoreThis morning we continue to talk about doubt. Last week we talked about doubting the Word of God. This week we will look at the Old Testament characters Sarah & Abraham and see how they doubted God’s promise.
