“An empty tomb. A risen Savior. A living Hope. A lot can happen in 3 days!”  -Carly Lynn  

Mark Batterson said “One of the most paralyzing mistakes we make is thinking that our problems somehow disqualify us from being used by GOD. Let me say it like this: If you don’t have any problems, you don’t have any potential. Here’s Why. Your ability to help others is limited to where you’ve been wounded.” Let’s look today at how God can use our wounds for good because of the resurrection of Jesus.

“The Lord will fight for you. You need only to be still.” (Exodus 14:14) Sometimes it’s not about us doing anything, it’s just about us being… being in the presence of God and letting God fight for us. Wounds and failures prevent us from making changes in our lives. There is hope in the resurrection of Jesus.

“When GOD is silent, it doesn’t mean that GOD is absent. He is working in ways we cannot see and cannot see and cannot know, but He has not left.” - Luke Lezon

Is hope overrated? Greg shares Mike Breaux’s message “Hope Floats” today as we look at how losing hope sometimes happens when we experience personal failures. But hope is the one thing that keeps us going, dulls panic, helps us persevere, gives patience and courage and when we fail, hope picks us up.
