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.
