Go deeper on your Easter Egg Hunt! We uncover a stunning historical detail often missed in the Easter narrative: the Tower of Antonia. Discover how direct Roman access into the Temple courts, potentially even restricted priestly areas, sheds new light on the “unholy alliance” that led to Jesus’ arrest. This wasn’t just political cooperation; it was facilitated by physical architecture. See the Garden of Gethsemane events with fresh eyes.

Today, we embark on an incredible journey through our new series, “Cracking the Egg-straordinary.”
Just as an egg holds the potential for life, each scripture reveals remarkable truths waiting to be uncovered.
Our first session, “A Torch Lit Parade,” will explore John 18:1-5, where we find the momentous arrest of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane.
