Everyone places their hope for the future in something. Christians trust in unmerited grace demonstrated in a Savior who rose from the dead.

Something is wrong with the world because there is something wrong with us. But Jesus acts radically and decisively to solve the problem.

The identity and mission of Jesus defines our identify and mission in a far more satisfying way than any internal aspiration or external expectation.

The coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost is both the testimony of what God has done and the enabling power for the mission he now commands.

Most of life is spent “in the middle.” Between the Ascension of Jesus and the coming of the Holy Spirit, the followers of Jesus show us the pattern for faithful living between the big, dramatic moments of life.

The triumphant return of Jesus to heaven leaves his followers with a sense of completion, anticipation, and contentment.

The resurrected Jesus provides everything we need most and everything for which we strive.

Life’s profound disappointments tempt us to despair, but the resurrection of Jesus brings hope. We see that hope in a group of women who go to the tomb of Jesus and return with the greatest news ever.
