Most people around the globe believe that Jesus was a great man, great teacher, and blessed by God with certain prophetic and supernatural powers. But what do you believe about Him? Was He just a great teacher, prophet and miracle worker, or was He more than that? In this message, Pastor Bob Merritt teaches us who Jesus really is.
On Good Friday, the day that Jesus was crucified, all hope seemed to have been lost. Jesus’ followers were devastated—this man, who they believed was the One who would save them, had died. What hope was left in the wake of such tragedy? But on Easter morning, He rose from the grave. And suddenly, hope came flooding back. There is now hope for forgiveness, hope for a relationship with God, hope beyond the grave—because Jesus conquered sin and death, forgave our sins, and made us right before God. And all we have to do is believe.
We all have chasms in our lives, relationally and spiritually. But God's power shows up best in chasms. In fact, that's what Easter is all about. In this message, Senior Pastor Bob Merritt takes a look at the greatest chasm ever crossed: when Jesus bridged the gap between us and God. He rose from the grave to heal us, forgive us, and restore our relationship with God and others.
Easter is a celebration of the world’s biggest event—the death and resurrection of Jesus. His resurrection gives us the power to close the gap between the life we have and the one we could have.
When Jesus rose from the grave, his light pierced through the darkness and conquered it forever. In this light, we find hope, comfort, and peace—no matter the darkness we face.
On Good Friday, we pause and prepare our hearts for Easter morning—when light conquered darkness once and for all.
It’s easy to get stuck in a cycle of anxious, fearful, or critical thoughts. But God created us for so much more. When we take His truths and apply them to our thoughts, we can win the daily battle in our mind.
What plans have you made this year that were totally wrecked? Sometimes your expectations for the future collide with the reality of the present. The Christmas story brings a timely reminder that even when the unplanned turns your world upside down, God’s purpose will still shine through.
