Easter is one of the best parts of the Christian calendar. While Jesus' resurrection is good news, for many, it is news that is hard to believe. We live in a world of smartphones, computers and the Internet. Someone rising from the dead sounds like a theme from the latest Marvel Comic movie, not something you can base your life upon. In this message, we examine 10 reasons why we can be sure Jesus rose from the dead and how the proof of the resurrection changes everyday living.

There are times when life gets hard. Sometimes, we can look back and see how God was faithful and he used those hard times for a good thing in our life. As Jacob prepares to die, he look back on life and can see God's faithfulness to him. He encourages his son Joseph, and he encourages us, that God's faithfulness to us will continue.

Genesis 25 - Good Ending, Tough Beginning
April 17, 2016 - 07:37 PM Filed in: Genesis
In 1771 the king of Sweden died of digestion problems after consuming a meal of lobster, caviar, sauerkraut, smoked herring, champagne and 14 servings of his favorite dessert. He is the king remembered for a bad ending as he literally ate himself to death. In Genesis 25, we look at the final days of Abraham and how the memory of his death reminds us we can trust in God’s promises.

Genesis 23 - Funeral
April 03, 2016 - 10:52 AM Filed in: Genesis
It was a closed solid bronze casket plated with 14-karat gold that was lined with blue velvet. The memorial service was so large it was organized by a concert promoter who gave away 17,500 free ticket to 1.2 million applicants. There were 3,000 police officers on duty to keep order at a cost of $1.4 million dollars. It was the largest security effort in Los Angeles since the 1984 Olympics. It was the funeral of Michael Jackson. Most of us will have a much smaller funeral. What do we need to know about funerals? What choices do we need to make today to have a good one? Join us as we learn about funerals as we study the death of Sarah, Abraham's wife.

John 11 - How Christ Gets Glory Through Cancer and Death
April 21, 2013 - 12:54 PM Filed in: Gospel of John
Diseases, such as cancer, grab us by the ankles and drag us into the jaws of death. If God loves us, why do we get sick? If Jesus loves us so much that he died for us, why does he allow these heartbreak into our lives? In John 11, we learn it is because of Jesus' love for us that he allow sickness and suffering into our lives. That feels backwards! Join us in discovering how Jesus transforms suffering and death for His glory.
