    The disciples were confused and didn’t really believe the resurrection. Yet in each gospel account Christ gave them proof so they could believe. What proof do we need to really believe what we say we believe?

    Unbelievable pain, incredible hurt. Why God? Why? Answers don’t come easily; sometimes they never come. But God wants us to know HIM and our pain drives us to him.

    TAKE IT BACK! One of my all-time favorite movies is Raiders of the Lost Ark, the first film in the Indiana Jones trilogy. I think it’s Steven Spielberg’s greatest work. In the film Hitler’s Nazis have stolen the newly recovered Ark of the Covenant and placed it aboard a German submarine. The Ark ...read more
