There is one secret to getting more time for your tribe talk, and Melissa did just that, so her tribe talk was a minute long, but right on point! Don't miss it.

Over three weeks, we're looking at three familiar characters that had encounters with the Resurrected Lord, and how it changed everything. In every case, we see a turn, a notable change in them. This week we begin with Mary Magdalene.

He is Risen! We closed our series, The Crown, with a look at the Crown of Victory, the one which only Jesus deserves. He has overcome, and promises resurrection life to us as well.

John also ties this moment to a more intimate setting with Jesus at the banquet of Bethany, where two familiar faces are wrestling with the same big question as the crowd of Palm Sunday: Who is Jesus? It's still the most important question for us today.
