Gospel of John: He is Risen!

The risen Lord was about to be revealed, first to Mary, then to the women who had come to complete his burial, and finally to the disciples and all those in his inner circle of on hundred and twenty devoted supporters and friends.

Gospel of John: A Race Against Sunset

Gospel of John: The Sayings of Christ

John must have been there to hear everything Jesus said, and those words must have sunk deep into Johnโ€™s soul. Over the centuries, these words were gathered lovingly by the church to become the Seven Sayings of the Cross.

Mary of Magdala

In this twenty minute talk, weโ€™ll first follow Mary through the years she was a student and supporter of Jesus, then we will spend most of our time in the Garden with Mary at Christโ€™s empty tomb, and end with a deeper understanding of ourselves as members of the Body of Christ.

Mary of Magdala

Refusing to abandon Jesus in His darkest hour, all four Gospel accounts describe Mary of Magdalaโ€™s faithfulness and courage, remaining with Jesus, at the foot of His cross, until His death. She had accompanied Jesus and those who had come to know and love Him, on His way to Jerusalem for the last time, to celebrate the Feast of Passover.

Magdala

Part of our excursion last Saturday was to visit the once bustling and wealthy city of Magdala, where Mary of Magdala came from. Itโ€™s a beautiful settlement, made all of black basalt, which is plentiful in the Galilee from ancient volcanic activity.
