Hope restored

THE REAL FOCUS OF CHRIST’S RESURRECTION— HOPE FOR YOU!

(April 20, 2025) Wayne Swift calls it as it is, giving us some things to consider…

It’s Resurrection Sunday, Hallelujah!

Easter itself changes year after year based on the first Sunday following a full moon in the northern hemisphere. And most Easter Sundays we consider the complete Easter story.

But… did you ever think about Easter this way— what was the goal or aim of Christ’s sacrifice and His resurrection? Have you ever considered that it has always been the same, that the target, the object, the focus was always refound hope for you!

Christ came and sacrificed His life so that you and I can be reconciled to God by the result of His efforts not our own. As  Matthew 12:21NLT declares ‘… His name will be the hope of all the world.’

HOPE RENEWED BY JESUS’ RESURRECTION

(April 14, 2025) Angeline Selvakumari shares precious Easter truths…

In the midst of our busy lives and relentless struggles, hope can sometimes feel distant. There are moments when our faith wavers, when doubt clouds our vision, and when we struggle to perceive God’s hand at work.

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by uncertainty, take heart— you are not alone.

It’s Easter this weekend— a celebration of renewed hope— a time when despair is transformed into joy through Christ’s resurrection.
