The Resurrection, Christ’s & Ours

The resurrection of Christ is central to the Christian faith, yet the Bible does not describe the actual resurrection. Whatever happened that Sunday morning is a mystery. What the Bible does describe is the discovery of the empty tomb and resurrection appearances to his followers. We will examine these stories and compare them to one another to try to gain a better understanding of the resurrection.

Come join the Bible Study Wednesday mornings at 10:30 am.
