Resurrection: Fact Or Fiction?
Contributed on Apr 16, 2025
Some of you have played Jenga with your family, right? You seek to pull piece after piece out without the tower collapsing. If Christianity were a Jenga tower, the resurrection is the one block that, when pulled, the tower comes crashing down every single time.
Dead people stay dead.1 “Nobody goes to funerals and says, ‘What’s the over/under if this person comes alive again?’” I have yet to see one dead person come back to life.

Contributed on Dec 17, 2024
He actually became sin for us (2 Corinthians 5:21). Jesus was abandoned for us. He was abandoned, so God would never abandon you. You may feel abandoned, but a genuine child of God is never truly abandoned.

You Will Never See Death
Contributed on Nov 25, 2024
The stakes are cosmically and eternally high at this moment. Jesus’ actions don’t determine the outcome of some silly game, but determine the eternal destinies of millions of men and women, boys and girls. This is the ultimate “Don’t Blink” moment.
