"Mary Magdalene's"
Pastor Brad Highum talks to us about her courageous faith
Mary Magdalene is one of the most enigmatic and faithful figures in all of Scripture.  Variously maligned as a prostitute and celebrated as the "Apostle to the Apostles," history has layered onto her a variety of identities.  And yet the information we have of her in Scripture is as slight and simple as it is profound.  Known only as one from whom Jesus cast "seven demons," Mary of Magdala's life is powerfully transformed by her encounter with Christ.  Faithfully following through his living ministry, to the cross, to the grave and beyond, she becomes the pivotal figure proclaiming that the One who was crucified in the flesh has been raised in the Spirit, and goes before us into a new day.


As we continue our series on Living Resurrected Lives, we focus on Mary Magdalene and her courageous faith; an icon of the early church and a lesson in discipleship to this day.
