The first Easter changed everything. When Jesus died, his early followers thought it was all over. But that wasn’t the end. Jesus rose from the dead and gives us peace, gives us purpose, and gives us a promise that is for everyone. If we choose to believe it, it can change everything.
Everything is Waiting For You
We have a part to play in making things better in this world. This means caring for God's creation, how we think about economics, how we treat each other - everything. And everything is waiting for us to step up and be who God knows we are, and to be who we can be because of Christ.
You Can't Mess This Up
We all make mistakes. Some of us hold onto these mistakes our whole lives. Shame dominates our feelings and we don’t feel worthy. Sometimes we are our toughest judge, not forgiving ourselves. But when Jesus forgives us, the work is done, and he doesn’t hold our past against us.
From Death to Real Life
Jesus said he came to give us life in all its fullness, but before we experience that life we first need to die to our old like. But how do we do that? Why does Jesus ask us to move forward and forget the past?
There is Hope
War, pollution, crime, lying politicians, broken marriages, drug addictions, suicide. There is so much to look at and lose hope over. But, even in the midst of things seeing so wrong, we have a God who tells us to hope. Not hope in what we can do, but in what he has done, and we will not be disappointed.
We're In This Together
As different as we are, we all have one thing in common, we are all sinners in need of a Saviour. And the good news is there is a Saviour who died did what we could never do, change everything.
Something Isn't Right Here
The first step to fixing a problem is to admit there is a problem. But for many of us, while we know there might be something wrong, we choose to ignore it for fear of change or conflict. When it comes to sin and life with God we can’t ignore the problem, God has made it clear to us that something isn’t right.
Jesus and the Devil
How would Jesus react to some of the contemporary issues that we face in our world today? Though the Bible doesn’t address them specifically, it does provide principles that are just as applicable today as they were to the early Christians.
Today we look at how Jesus reacted when he was tempted by the devil, and what we can do with this story today. In the scriptures at Matthew 4, verses 1 to 11, we read of how the devil tried to tempt Jesus after 40 days and nights of fasting through provision, pride, and with power, but we see how Jesus consistently about following God. Does he satisfy himself in the moment? Or trust what God has been doing all along? How does this apply to your life as you face different challenges and enemies? Tune in to find out.
Jesus and 21st Century Sex
How would Jesus react to some of the contemporary issues that we face in our world today? Though the Bible doesn’t address them specifically, it does provide principles that are just as applicable today as they were to the early Christians.
Jesus’ teachings on sex, marriage and adultery are counter to our culture today, where the common sentiment is that “it’s just sex”. Maybe it’s not what He is trying to save you from, but instead what he is saving you for. You can’t go back, but you can move forward. What would that mean for you?
