Easter Sermon Part 1 of “The Two Marys”

This Good Friday message invites us to stand at the foot of the cross through the eyes of Mary, the mother of Jesus. In At the Cross Her Vigil Keeping, Rev. Jim reflects on grief, love, helplessness, and faithfulness in the shadow of Christ’s suffering, drawing us more deeply into the solemn beauty of Good Friday. If you have ever wondered what it means to stay with Jesus in sorrow—not rushing past the pain toward Easter morning, but remaining present in the silence of Holy Week—this sermon offers a tender and prayerful place to begin.
