    Many think of the resurrection as an event from the past that just gives us a hope of the future. It is so much more than that, and it is relevant to us in our daily lives.

    It is amazing how the unpredictable can terrify us. When things seem to be unsure, or we can’t possibly explain something, fear seems to set in. Most parents know what it is like to be terrified. Our children can come out with some of the most alarming, humiliating, or shocking things, all done ...read more

    Many times our past holds us back from a great relationship with Christ. This message trys to get us to focus on what God has in store for us.

    Jesus makes a very simple statement that relates to a very big problem: our ability to walk away from our old life.
