Why I am Glad I Found Out about the Resurrection … Spring brings many of my favorite things, green trees, flowers blooming, warmer days and Easter.

Easter is when we remember, as children of God, the new life we have been given through the resurrection I accepted Christ as my savoir as a child. I feel that the decision you make as a child…

Why I am Glad I Found Out about the Resurrection … For a stretch of weeks, the families in our congregation have been steadily hit with death – it seems more than usual. Death, and the grieving that follows, are two of the most heart wrenching events we have to endure. Such an overwhelming sadness can break the heart, and the countenance, of the most stoic person, at the loss of a special person in their life. Death itself generates…

Why I am Glad I Found Out about the Resurrection … I am glad I found out about the resurrection because it gives me a solid hope that I will one day live in Heaven! It’s easy to throw the word ‘hope” around. “I hope that cop didn’t see me speeding” and “I hope I win the lottery someday”.

Why I am Glad I Found Out about the Resurrection … There’s just so many thoughts and emotions in my mind as I write and ponder why I am glad I found out about the resurrection.

The grave and death could not hold him and as he said, rose the third day…

Why I am Glad I Found Out about the Resurrection … I found out about the Resurrection early in life and have never doubted it. As I have grown older I have just become more convinced that it is true. In preparation for Easter, I am reading The Case for Easter by Lee Strobel. Mr. Strobel called the Resurrection the “lynchpin of the Christian faith.” And it is. Paul says that “if Christ has not been raised our preaching is…

Why I am Glad I Found Out about the Resurrection … The resurrection is the foundation of Christianity. Because I am saved and given another chance and I have the love of the Lord on my side, someone I can talk to and pray to, that will help, and take things into his own hands and he’ll know what is best when we don’t. Cause, now I know we will be protected as long as we serve, repent, obey the…

Why I am Glad I Found Out about the Resurrection … A wise man once told me if you believe in Christ dying on the cross and being raised from the dead three days later then everything else in the Bible is true.
