Firm Foundation: The Resurrection and Daily Life

The resurrection of Christ changes everything, including our daily lives. It's a call to die to ourselves, to suffer, and to follow in Jesus' footsteps.

As we live in a fallen world, we experience mundane frustrations and unspectacular difficulties, but with the resurrected life, we experience true life, and the crown is always before us. [... more]

Finding Faith: Why the Resurrection of Christ Matters

The resurrection of Christ is a historical fact, and Christians believe it's essential to their faith. However, in an age of anxiety and scientism, many people struggle to believe in miracles and the supernatural. The Bible tells us that miracles are real and part of a larger story, and the resurrection of Christ is the first episode of a larger event that will be brought to completion on the last day. The Christian answer to the question of whether there's anything beyond nature is a resounding yes, and the proof is the empty tomb. The resurrection proclaims that nature is falling, but there will come a day when it will be restored and made even better. [... more]
