Myths, Doubters, and the Emtpy Tomb
If the Cross was the price, the Empty Tomb was the proof.Without the Resurrection, we'd have a martyr.With it—we have a Messiah.Picture that tomb.Three days of silence.Soldiers standing guard over a corpse.Religion celebrating its victory.Then—one breath.Light splits the grave.Stone shatters.The Lamb walks out as a Lion.Death itself loses jurisdiction.This is the hinge of human history—where sin met its match and death met its defeat. Jesus didn't just die for sin; He crushed the serpent's head and broke the back of the grave. Everything changes from this moment on. The Cross paid the debt—but the Tomb proved the payment cleared.Our Springboard for Today's Discussion Is:“We know that Christ, being raised from the dead, will never die again; death no longer has dominion over Him.”— Romans 6:9 (ESV)TeachingWhen Jesus cried, “It is finished,” Hell heard its own death sentence.But when the stone rolled away, Heaven announced its victory anthem.For three days, silence filled the tomb.Soldiers guarded it.Religion mocked it.Darkness celebrated.Then, with one breath, everything changed.Light split the grave.Breath filled His lungs.The Lamb stood as a Lion—and history tilted forever.That same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead now lives in you. (Romans 8:11)That means resurrection power isn't just a story—it's a strategy for daily living.You were never meant to live as a prisoner of yesterday when the stone has already been rolled away.It means your past is not permanent.It means your failures don't get the final word.It means no situation—no sin, no shame, no sickness, no sorrow—is beyond His reach.Personal ResurrectionI know this because I've lived it.My roots were shallow. When triggers came, I fought with words the way my grandfather taught me—to attack, belittle, and win. That pattern cost me everything: my closeness with Christ, my marriage to Michelle, my relationship with my three kids, and the friendships that once anchored me.I was alive on the outside but dead in every way that mattered.But God didn't leave me in that tomb. He met me in the rubble of my pride and said, “Stop. Slow your roll. Don't let Satan get a foothold.”That whisper became the spark of resurrection.The same power that raised Jesus from the dead began raising me—from anger to humility, from control to surrender, from religion to relationship. God resurrected my marriage, rebuilt my family, and restored my purpose.If He can breathe life into what I destroyed, He can resurrect anything in your life too.Living in the Power of the Empty TombResurrection isn't just a past event—it's a present reality.It means you don't fight for victory; you fight from it.It means when guilt whispers, “You'll never change,” the empty tomb answers, “Watch Me.”It means when fear tells you, “You'll never make it,” the risen Christ declares, “I already did.”Stop living like it's Friday when Sunday already happened.The grave is empty—and so is your excuse to stay defeated.Daily ActionAsk yourself today:What tomb have I been guarding?What part of my life have I labeled “too dead for God to move”?Then pray this simple but dangerous prayer:“Lord, roll away the stone.Breathe life into what I've buried.”Practice* Read Romans 8:11 out loud every morning this week.* Write down one “dead place” in your life and invite Jesus to resurrect it.* Share your story—even one piece of it—with someone who needs to hear hope is real.Challenge of the WeekLive like Sunday happened.Speak like Sunday happened.Forgive like Sunday happened.Love like Sunday happened.Because it did.PrayerFather, thank You for the Cross that paid my debt and the Empty Tomb that sealed my freedom.Help me live like resurrection power truly abides in me.Breathe life into every place I've given up on—every broken relationship, every failed dream, every sin that still whispers shame.Let Your victory become my identity.I don't live under a sentence—I live under a sunrise.In Jesus' mighty name, Amen.Remember: The tomb is empty. So is your excuse to stay defeated.Let's Get To Work!

John 20:1-10 Geoff Brown September 14, 2025
This week on Alive, we pause to celebrate the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross (Sept 14). Fr. Meyer shares the powerful story of St. Helen discovering the true cross in 326 AD and reminds us why Christians glorify a symbol of suffering: because the cross only has meaning in light of the empty tomb. Your cross, your suffering, your trials — they are real, they hurt, but they are never the end of the story. Because of the Resurrection, every cross carries hope and redemption.
Preached 04-20-25 Rev. Elbert McGowan, Jr. Matthew 27:62-28:15
The enemy can't stop Jesus. So he makes you believe the lie it's not worth showing up and living sold out for Jesus. He makes you feel alone and dismisses the Work God is doing so you won't press on to victory.
Dr Thurman Hayes Jr. Preaching on John 20:1-31, Sunday August 24, 2025 at First Baptist Church of Suffolk, VA.
No matter who you are or what you believe in, there's one thing that's certain: death. To deal with this subject, we must look at the One who came to undo it, specifically the fact of Jesus' death and the reality of the empty tomb.

What Distinguishes Christianity From The False Religions Of The World? An Empty Tomb.
There was a lot of confusion happening on the first Easter morning. The resurrection had happened but it was neither expected nor accepted by all at first. Mary Magdalene ran to tell the disciples what she saw, and they ran to check out her report. What they saw was compelling evidence of a resurrection, but only one of them really connected all the dots. Let's see why.
Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Today's shout-out goes to Jim from his wife, Christy Davis-Theis, from Chaska, MN. Thank you for your generosity and partnership in Project 23. This one's for you. Our text today is Mark 16:1-4: And when the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James and Salome bought spices, so that they might go and anoint him. And very early on the first day of the week, when the sun had risen, they went to the tomb. And they were saying to one another, “Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance of the tomb?” And looking up, they saw that the stone had been rolled back—it was very large. — Mark 16:1-4 Before dawn, grief still weighed heavily. Three women rose in the quiet hour to tend to a lifeless body. They carried spices—small jars of costly ointment—and hearts full of sorrow. But when they arrived at the tomb, they found the impossible: the stone, the heavy barrier, already moved. No guard, just an empty entrance waiting for them. At sunrise, the world seemed unchanged on the outside, yet everything was different. Death had been defeated and overcome. The women came expecting to mourn—but they encountered a mystery that would change history. Their courage to go early, their devotion to care for their Lord, set the stage for joy. And their questions—“Who will roll away the stone?”—became the first notes in the great song of resurrection. Before you rush into your day, pause this morning and thank Jesus for the new beginning His resurrection brings. Then, identify one “stone” in your life—a worry, a habit, or a fear—that needs rolling away. Write it down in your journal. Share it in the comments below. Pray and hand it to Jesus. Trust him to move it and remove it, just as he has removed your sin. And then consider the fact that God can do anything at any time—from defeating sin to moving large stones. What's to say he won't move the immovable stone you are thinking about today? #EmptyTomb #Mark16 #NewBeginnings ASK THIS: What burdens am I carrying into this new day? How can I invite Jesus to remove the stones blocking my hope? Who in my life needs to hear that the tomb is empty? What devotion will I offer Jesus today in response to His rising? DO THIS: Before you rush into your day, pause at sunrise and thank Jesus for the new beginning His resurrection brings. PRAY THIS: Lord, thank you that you roll away every obstacle that keeps me from you. Meet me at the break of dawn with your life and light. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Resurrection Power."

The story of the empty tomb is part crime scene, part scandal, but also fully truth-filled evidence of our faith's foundation and the miraculous capstone of God's redemptive plan. But in all of that, there are some key things we need to wrestle with as believers…
Where did Jesus go after the cross—was it hell or something else? What happened when the graves opened in Jerusalem? And does God still hear the prayers of the unsaved? Join Jim Scudder as he answers these fascinating Bible questions in Part 5 of his series, Answers.
The gospel has always been a story of war; a cosmic battle for dominion, bloodlines, and the soul of mankind. In this revealing message, Zach exposes Satan's strategy, unpacks the legal victory of the cross and resurrection, and calls believers to reclaim their God-given authority. This isn't just a salvation story—it's a kingdom call to rise, rule, and crush the serpent's head.
The women disciples discover that the tomb is empty. They are told that Christ is risen. The morning is marked by fear and confusion at this unexpected turn of events, wonder at the angelic message, and joy upon meeting the Risen Lord.
