The Weight
Philippians 2:5-6 “In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage” (NIV)
We cannot even begin to imagine the weight of resurrection. We can experience it, but to fully come to terms with it is going to take a lifetime of knowing Jesus, and an eternity of being with Jesus. Read the rest of this entry
Glorified
Matthew 28:5-7 “…I know you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He isn’t here! He is risen from the dead, just as he said would happen. Come, see where his body was lying. And now, go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead…”
Today, I will tell you a story I like to tell every Easter as far back as I can remember. The Son of God gave up the ghost, the sun looked away, and there was darkness everywhere. The enemy went to confirm that He was dead and there was rejoicing in the kingdom of darkness. Read the rest of this entry
Grace
Ephesians 2:8-9 “God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it.”
Pilate said to Jesus, ‘They are saying all these things about you, and you say nothing? If you do not respond it means what they are saying is true.Don’t you know I can set you free?’ At that point, Jesus said,
Here or There
Luke 12:29-31 “And do not set your heart on what you will eat or drink; do not worry about it. For the pagan world runs after all such things, and your Father knows that you need them. But seek his kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well.” (NIV)

The Difference
John 11:25 “Jesus told her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Anyone who believes in me will live, even after dying.”
Do you know that we ought to celebrate Easter much more than we celebrate Christmas? Why? It is because what separates Christianity from other religions is not that our Redeemer was born. Read the rest of this entry
Jesus Is Alive
Acts 2:32 “God raised Jesus from the dead, and we are all witnesses of this.”
What separates Christianity from every other religion is that Jesus is Alive! Happy Easter! Happy resurrection, Jesus is Alive! We will be taking a break from our previous study and turning our focus to Easter. Read the rest of this entry
Support, Not Replace
Exodus 17:12 “But Moses’ hands were heavy and grew weary. So [the other men] took a stone and put it under him and he sat on it. Then Aaron and Hur held up his hands, one on one side and one on the other side; so his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.” (AMPC).
#3: The Solution To Physical Tiredness During Spiritual Activity Is Support, Not A Break. When Moses was tired with his hands vibrating, God did not allow Moses to take a break, God brought support. Read the rest of this entry
The Path
Psalm 105:18-21 “They bruised his feet with fetters and placed his neck in an iron collar. Until the time came to fulfil his dreams, the Lord tested Joseph’s character. Then Pharaoh sent for him and set him free… Joseph was put in charge… he became ruler over all the king’s possessions.”
2 Corinthians 4:16-17 “For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. These troubles and sufferings of ours are, after all, quite small and won’t last very long. Read the rest of this entry
Stay!
Psalm 144:1 “Praise the Lord, who is my rock. He trains my hands for war and gives my fingers skill for battle.”
