Who Do You Want To Be? (John 20:1-18) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Apr 14, 2022

Lifting The Curtain Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 3, 2021

Many of you will be in two spiritual battles in your life – not all of you but some of you. We were born at war with God because we are born in sin. But when we lay down our arms at the cross of Jesus Christ in unconditional surrender, God declares peace with us.

One of my favorite coaches says this about any upcoming opponent that they play no matter the other team’s record, “It’s a five star match up because we’re in it.” Again, “It’s a five star match up because we’re in it.” The ...read more
