There are no two ways about it — Christians believe in something remarkable, for we believe that Jesus rose from the dead. And it’s not a baseless belief, for over 500 people at once saw Jesus alive again. His disciples, who were eyewitnesses of Jesus’ life, death, and resurrected body, were so certain of this…
Since sin entered in at the garden of Eden (through Adam and Eve), there has been a debt that could not be paid by sinful man. And sin ultimately leads to death. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. John 3:16 says; For…
Today is Good Friday. It’s the day we specifically remember the crucifixion of Jesus, the son of God. So what’s good about that, you might ask?

If you’re familiar with the Easter story, you’ll probably recall how one of Jesus’ disciples stood out for the wrong reason — and that was Judas, who betrayed Him. So well had he hidden his wicked intent, that none of the disciples suspected Judas, even when Jesus said that one of them would betray Him.…
I want to talk to you about the day we often call Palm Sunday. We usually associate Palm Sunday with the day that Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey, and we often call that the “triumphal entry”. Actually the real triumphal entry is still yet to happen when Jesus comes back a second time, but…
