So much has changed since last Easter. The world has been shaken. Life has been disrupted and what we once called normal seems like it may never return. It’s easy to be discouraged when the ground beneath us feels like shifting sand. Now, more than ever, we need to stand on the truth of Easter. A day which changed our eternity and our world forever. Death was defeated, sin was conquered and death was rendered powerless. Today, may we remember the truth of Easter, the power of the resurrection and the promise of eternity. Yes, the world has been shaken, but the grave is still empty and Jesus…is still risen!

Life And Thanksgiving

Video Illustration

Produced by Freebridge Media

Life and Thanksgiving don’t always go hand in hand. When the chaos of the world places an unbearable weight on our shoulders, when division becomes prevalent, and when hatred seems constant, thankfulness can get lost in the fog. Before we know it, our hearts of gratitude begin to sink under the strain. But God knew life wouldn’t be easy; he knew there would be struggles. He knew there would be pain. He knew there would be heartache. Yet his Word tells us to; “Give thanks In Everything.” The truth is, even in turbulent times, God’s grace still abounds, His mercies are still new every morning, and His love is still everlasting. Today - Let us give thanks in everything.

Live In Thanksgiving

Produced by Freebridge Media

It’s not always easy to live in Thanksgiving. In moments when life is overwhelming, choosing gratitude can be the furthest thing from our mind. But even in the most difficult circumstances, we serve a God who will never leave us or forsake us…a God who remains faithful even when we are faithless. A God who loves us…even when we feel unlovable. Today, let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author, and perfecter of our faith. Today, let us choose to live in Thanksgiving.

This Is Christmas

Video Illustration

Produced by Freebridge Media

It’s Christmas time again. Time for snow angels, snowball fights and a trip down a white powdered slope. Between the shopping, wrapping, eating and traveling, it’s a miracle we make it out of “The Holidays” alive. What if we stopped for a moment and focused on the real miracle of Christmas? What if we slowed down long enough to worship the Savior, to honor the Messiah, to give glory to the only begotten Son of God? It’s time we realized this is more than a holiday…this is Jesus' day…this is Christmas.
