    Hey, y'all! Welcome to the Gary Church Podcast . . . from Gary Church, here in Wheaton, IL. This is our last episode of the Gary Church Podcast and we want to thank all our subscribers and listeners over the last 4 years. We began this ministry as a way to reach out to folks during COVID. As our weekly live-streaming services have taken root and grown (which can be found at www.garychurch.org), the need for this podcast has ended. We want to especially thank Tony Venezia and Deb Evans for all their hard work on this project, as well as those generous donors who funded the ministry, but would rather not be named. We thought it fitting to end with the glory of the resurrection, our true end as Christians! May those who have not discovered him yet come to find Christ as Lord and Savior through these episodes, and those who follow Christ already be strengthened in their faith.This is the scripture and sermon from March 31, 2024- the First Sunday of Easter . . .
