The resurrection holds a profound significance for each of us, and it is an event that brings hope and transformation to our lives. In this final part of our “Two Acts of God” series, we explore ten incredible reasons to be excited about Jesus rising from the dead.
We’ll discover that the resurrection means our faith is not in vain and that we can rest assured that our salvation is permanent. We’ll also see how the resurrection (not just the cross!) is the source of a good conscience.
Check out this message to deepen your understanding of Christ’s resurrection and celebrate the very core of our Christian faith!

Two Acts of God – Part 1
March 24, 2024
In this first message of our “Two Acts of God” series, we explore what the cross means to us individually and how it shapes our understanding of our identity in Christ. We’ll dive into the liberating truth that through the cross, we are declared holy and blameless, and we have perfect peace with God. Imagine the freedom and joy that comes from knowing that God will never refer to our sins again!
We’ll also learn why the cross means freedom from the Law, and we’ll discuss why the message of being “crucified with Christ” is often neglected today and how embracing this truth can revolutionize our lives.
Prepare to be inspired and encouraged as we probe the depths of God’s love and grace through the power of the cross!
