Lost & Found

Our Easter message this year focuses on the Prodigal Son. If we find ourselves LOST, a u-turn is usually a good idea.

Resurrection Reality

On Easter we celebrate the greatest day on our calendar - the day Jesus conquered death - for Himself and for all of His followers. Was the resurrection real? Is there any real evidence that would stand up to today’s skeptic? In this sermon we talk about 3 of the most often used challenges to Jesus’ resurrection. Then we pivot to the 4 ways that the reality of resurrection should change us.
