This morning we celebrate the most memorable event in human history. More important than His birth, is the fact Jesus of Nazareth rose from the dead after dying for sin. Now, true hope is possible because of that event. Paul’s message offers hope that is still available. The hope found at Easter is not a […]
How did Christmas change your life? Before answering, focus on the arrival of the promised Messiah instead of the celebration of a holiday. Paul answers that question in his letter to the Colossians.
