    Adapted from a sermon by Brian Atwood. Even with their limitations, Rhinos live a pretty satisfied life. We don’t have to know the future. Who cares that we can see only thirty feet ahead? Whatever’s at thirty-one feet needs to care that we’re coming.

    Have you ever thought about rhinos and their limitations. You see, rhinos can run thirty miles an hour, which is pretty fast when you consider how much weight they’re pulling. They’re actually faster than squirrels, which can run up to twenty-six miles an hour. And even then ...read more

    We Have Access Youth Sermon

     | 321 views

    While the Crucifixion of Christ allowed for forgiveness of our sins, the Resurrection serves as our entrance into Heaven. We all have a choice to make in this life. Will we follow Jesus Christ to wherever He may lead us? Or, will we try to do things the world’s way, chasing after meaningless, temporary and empty satisfaction for only a few, short years? The Resurrection calls us to have an Eternal perspective.

    Today, we're gonna talk about the Resurrection of Jesus. That's the event we celebrate on Easter. But before we dive in, let me show you something cool. See this locked box? Imagine all the awesome stuff inside, but we can't get to it because it's locked. Bummer, right? Well, Jesus is like the key ...read more
