Pastor Ryan’s sermon “Who Will Move the Stone?” talks about the stone that blocked the women’s access to the tomb on Easter morning when they went to prepare Jesus’ body for burial, not knowing yet that he had risen. What is the stone in our own lives that keeps us from following Jesus, and how will it be moved aside?
