Go to the Tomb

On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb. (Luke 24:1 NIV) Visiting the tomb of loved ones brings me comfort. There’s a sense of peace that I get when I stand by their tomb. I know that theirContinueContinue reading “Go to the Tomb”

Rise from the Dead

I die daily. (1 Corinthians 15:31 JUB) Death changes us. After losing two beloved family members a year apart, I lost a part of me that I would never get back. Life took a different turn as I began to live life unbothered by what was going on around me. Trivial matters and people’s opinionsContinueContinue reading “Rise from the Dead”

Moments from the Exodus

 I will take you as my own people, and I will be your God. Then you will know that I am the Lord your God, who brought you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians. (Exodus 6:7 NIV) The Exodus story has got to be one of the most prominent stories in the Bible, and rightly so. ImagineContinueContinue reading “Moments from the Exodus”

Down But Not Out

We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. (2 Corinthians 4:8-9 NIV) Easter has always been my favorite time of the year. Its message has resonated with me for many years. The idea that we can be down butContinueContinue reading “Down But Not Out”

Embrace the Desert Place

Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit in the desert, where for forty days he was tempted by the devil. (Luke 4:1-2 NIV) We live in an age of instant gratification. Patience and perseverance don’t seem to matter anymore. We’re promised immediate results if we wouldContinueContinue reading “Embrace the Desert Place”

Embrace the Cross

I gave up all that inferior stuff so I could know Christ personally, experience his resurrection power, be a partner in his suffering, and go all the way with him to death itself. If there was any way to get in on the resurrection from the dead, I wanted to do it. (Philippians 3:10-11 MSG)ContinueContinue reading “Embrace the Cross”

Seeing the “Good” in Good Friday

https://videopress.com/v/GDiOQk1j?resizeToParent=true&cover=true&preloadContent=metadata&useAverageColor=true We wouldn’t see the “Good” in Good Friday if it wasn’t for Resurrection Sunday. We don’t always understand the purpose behind our own suffering and pain until we experience our own resurrection, too. Here’s your Good Friday reminder that “We know that in all things God works for the good of those who loveContinueContinue reading “Seeing the “Good” in Good Friday”

More Than a Conqueror

At that time some Pharisees came to Jesus and said to him, “Leave this place and go somewhere else. Herod wants to kill you.” He replied, “Go tell that fox, ‘I will keep on driving out demons and healing people today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will reach my goal.’ In any case, I mustContinueContinue reading “More Than a Conqueror”

Look Forward to the Resurrection

As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus gave them orders not to tell anyone what they had seen until the Son of Man had risen from the dead. They kept the matter to themselves, discussing what “rising from the dead” meant…They left that place and passed through Galilee. Jesus did not want anyone to know where theyContinueContinue reading “Look Forward to the Resurrection”
