Easter Sunday is one of the biggest highlights in the life of the church as we celebrate the resurrection. But after all the excitement dies down, we are often left with the question in our lives of what happens next? How do we handle the magnificent news of the Gospel now that we have received it and responded to it? How do we truly live for Christ and cling to Him? To find these answers, we’ll take a look back to Jesus’ sermon on the mount to see how Jesus is the greatest treasure one could ever have, and how as a result, we must pursue Him and His Gospel each day!

Our world has been experiencing a growing crisis of hope. The future seems uncertain and the present volatile.  When you feel hopeless and beaten down by life, Peter reminds us that we have a God who is merciful and sees our helpless state, who has made us alive and has given us a living hope that is anchored in the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Through Christ, our eternal future is secured in the vaults of heaven, where it cannot die, fade or be corrupted. 

Palm Sunday is the first day of holy week or the first day of the final week before Jesus’ crucifixion and resurrection. It is the day we traditionally celebrate Jesus’s triumphal entry into Jerusalem. As we take a closer look at Jesus’ triumphal entry, what was Jesus declaring about himself in this triumphal entry? Did the disciples and the crowds really understand what they were saying? What difference does this day make for us over 2000 years later?  

In today’s message in 2 Kings 7:1-9 from missionary Ken Beckley, we learn how God uses people to advance His good news of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. This same message resonates with us today as God calls all Christians to share the good news of the Gospel with the world!

How do we respond in suffering in a way that is healthy that deals with our emotions and is God honoring? We will take a closer look at three biblical truths of human suffering that will help us respond in suffering.   

A rich young ruler seeks out Jesus to ask what more he can do to secure eternal life. No doubt hoping for a quick fix, the man’s expectations are soon flipped upside down as Jesus reveals to him that eternal life is not found through accomplishing checklist items, but rather through having a relationship with God. Further yet, the man soon learns that it’s not about what he can do to earn salvation, it’s about what only God can do to accomplish salvation, as true wealth is found in Jesus Christ alone!  

Why is the resurrection of Jesus such good news for us? For us to be able to answer this question, we need to take a closer look at Jesus’ trail, death, and resurrection. We will discover the purpose and significance of His death and the evidence to what Christ’s resurrection points to. 

If you are to faithfully follow Christ, you must offer unlimited forgiveness to those who have wronged you. 

There seems to be much confusion when it comes to church membership. The Bible does not explicitly command church membership. Nowhere in Scripture does it say, “that you must join a local church.” However, the Bible does something far better.  The Bible expands the relationship between the church and its members with a series of metaphors that shapes our identity and challenges our inclination to individualism, self-sufficiency, and pride.
