When Jesus Speaks Your Name, John 20:11-18, Happy Easter!

When Jesus Speaks Your Name | Easter Sunday | Pastor Charlie Grimes

Description:

"Mary."

In one single word, everything changed. This Easter Sunday, Pastor Charlie Grimes explores the powerful, intimate encounter between the risen Christ and Mary Magdalene in John 20:11–18.

Mary stood at the tomb weeping, blinded by grief and unable to recognize the Savior standing right in front of her. It wasn't until Jesus spoke her name that her eyes were opened to the reality of the Resurrection. In this message, we dive into the personal nature of God's love—reminding us that the same Jesus who conquered the grave calls each of us by name today.

Are you listening for His voice amidst your own "weeping"? Join us as we celebrate the hope of the empty tomb and the God who meets us in our deepest moments of need.

Key Highlights:

• Finding hope when you feel overwhelmed by grief.

• Why Mary didn’t recognize Jesus at first—and what that means for us.

• The transformative power of a personal encounter with the Risen Lord.

Scripture Reference:

"Jesus said to her, 'Mary.' She turned toward him and cried out in Aramaic, 'Rabboni!' (which means 'Teacher')." — John 20:16
