Resurrection Morning - Why Am I Here?

On this Easter morning, we are reminded that we can get so stuck in the day-to-day that we forget the deeper meaning of certain days, like Easter and Christmas.

In this episode, Pastor Anthony reflects on the first Easter morning and how it was a day of uncertainty and questioning for Mary Magdalene. Despite the doubts and fears, Mary had a job to do and a purpose to fulfill. Through her seeking, she encountered the risen Lord, and her life was forever changed.

He encourages listeners to move beyond simply knowing about Jesus to truly knowing Him intimately, as Mary did.
