Christ is in us and He is the hope of glory. Thus, we become the spreaders of that glory as temple of the Holy Spirit. His glory indwells us and HIs church, and as He does so, that glory points us to the ultimate hope of the world.

The Kingdom of God reverses the patterns of our world which tend to define us, and by reversing them, we are set free - to serve, not be served - to be last, not first - to move down, not up. it is the way of Jesus and it is the hope of our salvation.

Dr. David Swanson | We yearn for someone to come and take control of all the wrongs we see and make them right. It's our hearts yearning for what only Christ can do and be - the inaugurator and King of the true Kingdom - the eternal Kingdom. Christ is the one we hope for, we see Him at Easter, and we yearn for His return. Future hope gives present strength.

Rev. Tanner Fox | Kelly, Ch 1: Our hope is grounded in certainty, in a historical resurrection

Dr. Swanson | We continue to think about the impact of Easter not just for one Sunday, but for the whole of life. As we live in a post-pandemic, more fearful, and divided world, we need to understand how Easter hope transforms our view on world events and calms our fears.

1 Peter 1:3-9

Dr. Swanson | As we think about living in this Easter season, we are reminded of how our culture teaches us to seek our glory, but the story of Easter is God's glory - and His alone. So let's decrease that He might increase.

Isaiah 26:8-13

Case Thorp | Walking with the risen Christ necessitates presence, worldview, and hospitality.

Luke 24:13-36

Dr. Swanson | As we come to the empty tomb, we find the answer to the question asked by so many: How do I know God is real? We know He is real by what He shows us at the empty tomb - a reality predicted and fulfilled - one questioned on Friday, but accomplished on Sunday. 

John 2:13-21

Dr. Swanson | Palm Sunday helps us answer our most pressing question of this age: what is going to become of us? We see so much that is wrong, we want to know, "Where is this going to end?" As Jesus instructs the disciples, he offers some needed clarity around those questions.

Mark 11:1-11

Dr. Swanson | Suffering creates a unique bond among us in life. It is the common denominator of the human experience. As we look at those who gathered at the cross, we find some unique similarities - and hope in our own fraternity of suffering.

John 19:16-27
