Hope Beyond the Tomb: April 20, 2025 (Easter Sunday)

On the first Easter morning, women arrived at Jesus' tomb carrying spices—and unbearably heavy hearts. They expected an ending but discovered the empty tomb: hope's door flung wide open. Rev. Ingrid McIntyre reminds us: in that moment, grief turned to astonishment, despair gave way to possibility. The ultimate finality—death itself—was transformed into new life.
