We know the evidence for Jesus; what's the evidence for you? We're confident that the Lord was raised to new life because of the Empty Tomb, because of the eyewitnesses who died rather than change their story, because of the changed lives and the changed world. But do you and I have any evidence that we've come back from the dead, to "walk in newness of life?" What is our resurrection story? How are we different - and who can tell? We're back in Mark, chapter 16 with Jim.

RS03172026_0.mp3Scripture References: Mark 16
Jesus continues His journey toward Jerusalem, speaking plainly to the disciples about His coming suffering and death, yet they remain fixated on earthly power and their imagined roles in a political kingdom. When James and John ask to sit at His right and left hand in glory, Jesus uses the moment to redefine greatness—not as authority or status, but as humility, servanthood, and willingness to suffer for others. He teaches that true greatness in God's kingdom mirrors His own example: “the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve,” calling His followers to abandon pride, resist worldly distractions, and embrace a life shaped by obedience and sacrificial love

A new MP3 sermon from Berean Baptist Church is now available on SermonAudio with the following details: Title: Discovering the Empty Tomb Subtitle: John - Jesus Is The Christ Speaker: Sean E. Harris Broadcaster: Berean Baptist Church Event: Sunday - AM Date: 3/8/2026 Bible: John 20:1-10 Length: 45 min.
Jesus begins His journey to the cross with unwavering resolve, “setting His face” toward Jerusalem, knowing the suffering ahead is the will of God and the fulfillment of a plan set in motion since Eden. The disciples struggle to accept His path, especially Peter, whose well‑intentioned resistance reveals how human expectations can blind us to God's purposes. The message calls believers to the same decisive obedience—denying the flesh, embracing the Spirit, and choosing to follow Jesus with the same single‑minded determination He showed on the road to the empty tomb.
One of the greatest evidences of the resurrection of Jesus was the empty tomb, but one of the startling facts about it was that the tomb was actually not completely empty. Join Dr. James Boice next time on The Bible Study Hour as he examines the evidence left behind in the “not quite empty tomb”.

In this episode we begin to look at John 20 and talk about the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the empty tomb. Though the empty tomb is a major evidence of the resurrection of Christ, John uniquely provides an additional piece of evidence that drives this truth home even more. Listen to learn what that is.

A look at the characters who first encountered the Risen Jesus and His response to their despair, distractions, and doubts. Speaker: Samantha Freds
What does the empty tomb really prove, and why does it still matter? The doubts, fears, and questions surrounding the resurrection of Jesus are explored through Peter's encounter with the risen Christ and the transformation that followed. For anyone who has wondered whether Jesus is truly God, whether they matter to Him, or whether faith can survive failure and doubt, the empty tomb offers a compelling answer rooted in hope, truth, and resurrection power.Pursuing God with Gene Appel is designed to help you pursue God, build community, and unleash compassion. Grounded in Scripture and shaped by Eastside's conviction that God's grace is for everyone, each episode invites you to discover God's presence and activity in your life.
Jesus is our Mighty God who fights for us and sets us free by His ultimate victory at the Cross and the Empty Tomb.
THE EMPTY TOMB (John 20:1-18) I. Mary at the Tomb of Jesus; vs.1-2 II. Peter and John at the Tomb; vs.3-10 III. Jesus at the Tomb with Mary; vs.11-18 Mary Magdalene is first to arrive at the tomb. She is first to see the risen Lord. She is first to proclaim the good news.

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.
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.

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.
