On Easter, we celebrate the hope of new life that Jesus brings into each of our lives, and even more, into the whole world. The earth-shattering thing that happened on this day changes everything. In this four-day series from Words of Hope, consider the life-changing hope of Easter as we read John's account of Jesus' death and resurrection.

In checkers, each piece has an ultimate goal: to be made king. That kingship comes with a lot more freedom and a lot more responsibility.

It’s time for men to rise up and take on the responsibility of Godly leadership.

Since Scripture is true, since God is faithful, and since God promised He would not allow us to be tempted beyond what we can endure, we have real hope for success and real help from Him.

Can a believer experience sexual purity when everything around him says to indulge and enjoy it? The Bible says yes!
