John 20.1-18-Jesus is ALIVE! Mary visits the tomb of Jesus to pay her respects and...it's empty!
Where did the body go? How was the seal broken? Where were the guards?
She runs and tells Peter and John what she witnessed and then they check it out.
Bottom line...Jesus is ALIVE!
He conquered death! He is the Lord of LIFE!
THAT is why we worship him.

After singing a few songs, then as a congregation we read together aloud the following scripture...
I Corinthians 1:1-11
1 Now I make known to you, brothers and sisters, the gospel which I preached to you, which you also received, in which you also stand,
2 by which you also are saved, if you hold firmly to the word which I preached to you, unless you believed in vain.
3 For I handed down to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures,
4 and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,
5 and that He appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.
6 After that He appeared to more than five hundred brothers and sisters at one time, most of whom remain until now, but some have fallen asleep;
7 then He appeared to James, then to all the apostles;
8 and last of all, as to one untimely born, He appeared to me also.
9 For I am the least of the apostles, [f]and not fit to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.
10 But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me did not prove vain; but I labored even more than all of them, yet not I, but the grace of God with me.
11 Whether then it was I or they, so we preach and so you believed.

John 20:1-18 - Life
Pastor Harvey Simpson
Here is the text of John 20:1-18-Life!
The Empty Tomb
1 Now on the first day of the week Mary Magdalene came early to the tomb, while it was still dark, and saw the stone already removed from the tomb.
2 So she ran and *came to Simon Peter and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and said to them, “They have taken the Lord from the tomb, and we do not know where they have put Him.”
3 So Peter and the other disciple left, and they were going to the tomb.
4 The two were running together; and the other disciple ran ahead, faster than Peter, and came to the tomb first;
5 and he stooped to look in, and saw the linen wrappings lying there; however he did not go in.
6 So Simon Peter also came, following him, and he entered the tomb; and he looked at the linen wrappings lying there,
7 and the face-cloth which had been on His head, not lying with the linen wrappings but folded up in a place by itself.
8 So the other disciple who had first come to the tomb also entered then, and he saw and believed.
9 For they did not yet understand the Scripture, that He must rise from the dead.
10 So the disciples went away again to their own homes.
11 But Mary was standing outside the tomb, weeping; so as she wept, she stooped to look into the tomb;
12 and she *saw two angels in white sitting, one at the head and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had been lying.
13 And they *said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping?” She said to them, “Because they have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they put Him.”
14 When she had said this, she turned around and *saw Jesus standing there, and yet she did not know that it was Jesus.
15 Jesus *said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?” Thinking that He was the gardener, she said to Him, “Sir, if you have carried Him away, tell me where you put Him, and I will take Him away.”
16 Jesus *said to her, “Mary!” She turned and said to Him in Hebrew, “Rabboni!” (which means, Teacher).
17 Jesus *said to her, “Stop clinging to Me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to My brothers and say to them, ‘I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and My God and your God.’”
18 Mary Magdalene came and announced to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord,” and that He had said these things to her.
