Cancel The Funeral
Monday, April 6, 2026
Summary
In this powerful Resurrection Sunday message, Dr. E. Dewey Smith Jr. preaches from the first-person perspective of Joseph of Arimathea to reflect on the journey from Good Friday to Easter Sunday. He challenges believers to sit with the silence of Saturday for genuine healing rather than rushing from trauma to trauma. Ultimately, because Christ is risen and His Spirit lives within believers, we no longer need to prepare for a funeral or mourn over dead situations—we are now the living Body of Christ.Key Scriptures
