We have something big to celebrate today, and I’m ecstatic we get to celebrate it together, even though we might be many miles apart right now. Let’s talk about resurrection Sunday! So when Mary and the other women arrived at the tomb, followed by Peter, Jesus’ body was gone. Mary thought that someone had removed the body without telling Jesus’ friends or family.

Good Morning Easter Devotional Day 3 – Restored through love
Good morning! I’ve got my coffee, and I’m ready to go for day three of our Good Morning Easter study! If you’re joining us for the first time, welcome! I’m so pumped you’re here! I really liked the study this morning. It was such a sweet reminder of the Lord’s love for us. His love for us is everlasting, it is a steadfast love and it cannot be changed or separated no matter what we do or do not do, no matter what we say or do not say and no matter who we are and who we become. It’s honestly really overwhelming for me to think about! A love…
