1 Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the entrance.

Luke 19:35-40 NIV

35 They brought it to Jesus, threw their cloaks on the colt and put Jesus on it. 36 As he went along, people spread their cloaks on the road. 37 When he came near the place where the road goes down the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of disciples began joyfully to praise God in loud voices for all the miracles they had seen: 38 “Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord!”“Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!” 39 Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Jesus, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples!” 40 ...

22 While they were enjoying themselves, some of the wicked men of the city

owned the house, “Bring out the man who came to your house so we can have sex with him.”

23 The owner of the house went outside and said to them, “No, my friends, don’t be

so vile. Since this man is my guest, don’t do this outrageous thing. 24 Look, here is

my virgin...

Women’s History Month is a dedicated month to reflect on the often-overlooked

contributions of women to U.S. history. 1

BIG IDEA: Women must be free to BE

Hebrews 10:19-23 NASB

“ 19 Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we have confidence to enter the holy

place by the blood of Jesus, 20 by a new and living way which He inaugurated for us

through the veil, that is, through His flesh, 21 and since we have a great priest over

the house of God, 22 let’s approach God with a [h] sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our

bodies washed with pure water. 23 Let’s hold firmly to the confessio...

1. To be and not to be (v.4-7)

Philippians 4:4-9 NKJV

4 Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be known to

all men. The Lord is at hand. 6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and

supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the

Psalm 46 KJV

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. 2 Therefore will not

we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into

the midst of the sea; 3 Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though

the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah. 4 There is a river, the

streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles

of the most High. 5 God is in the midst of her; she...

Ecclesiastes 7:8-18 NIV

8 The end of a matter is better than its beginning, and patience is better than

pride. 9 Do not be quickly provoked in your spirit, for anger resides in the lap of

fools. 10 Do not say, “Why were the old days better than these?” For it is not wise

to ask such questions. 11 Wisdom, like an inheritance, is a good thing and

benefits those who see the sun. 12 Wisdom is a shelter as money is a shelter, but

the advantage of knowledge is this...

Isaiah‬ 9:1-7

1 Nevertheless, there will be no more gloom for those who were in distress. In the

Scripture Passage –Luke 14:15-24 (NLT)
“Hearing this, a man sitting at the table with Jesus exclaimed, “What a blessing it will be to attend a
banquetin the Kingdom of God!” 16  Jesus replied with this story: “A man prepared a great feast and sent
out many invitations.  17  When the banquet was ready, he sent his servant to tell the guests, ‘Come, the
banquet is ready.’  18  But they all began making excuses. One said, ‘I have just bought a field and must

sacrifice the Passover lamb, Jesus’ disciples asked him, “Where do you want us

reclining at the table eating, he said, “Truly I tell you, one of you will betray
me—one who is eating with me.” 19  They were saddened, and one by one they
said to him, “Surely you don’t mean me?” 20  “It is one...

looked for a place to weep; so he entered his chamber and wept there.  31  Then he
washed his face and came out; and he controlled himself and said, “Serve the
meal.”  32  Then they served him by himself, and Joseph’s brothers by themselves,
and the Egyptians who ate with him by themselves; because the Egyptians could
not eat bread with the Hebrews, for that is an abomination to the
Egyptians.  33  Now they were seated before him, fro...

Jeremiah 8:18-22 NASB

18  My sorrow is beyond healing, My heart is faint within me!

19  Behold, listen! The cry of the daughter of my people from a distant land: “Is the LORD not in Zion? Is her King not within her?” “Why have they provoked Me with their carved images, with foreign idols?”

1 “If it had not been the LORD who was on our side,” Let Israel now say—
2  “If it had not been the LORD who was on our side,
When men rose up against us,
3  Then they would have swallowed us alive,
When their wrath was kindled against us;
4  Then the waters would have overwhelmed us,
The stream would have gone over our soul;
5  Then the swollen waters
Would have gone over our soul.”
