Even in her grief, Mary Magdalene showed up — ready to serve and honor — even when hope seemed gone. This Easter, we’ll look at what happened when faithfulness met an empty tomb and everything changed.

Two weeks ago we were challenged to love and serve like Jesus does. But we didn’t talk about what makes that possible. So this week we revisit the idea and ask how it's possible for us to do something that comes so unnaturally.

The transfiguration of Christ is one of the more remarkable moments in His incredibly remarkable life. This Sunday, we reflect on that moment and what it means for us to simply marvel at our Savior.
