ᓗᒃ 22:44

The cross is one of the most influential images within Christianity and its significance is unending. Charles Spurgeon’s collection of messages examines the lonely anticipation of the cross, the brutality of the crucifixion, and the joy of the resurrection. His words capture the importance of the passion, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Allow these messages to be a reminder of a loving Savior’s sacrifice for God’s human creation.

In every stage of life and the human experience, there is the One who understands what we are going through. We are not alone and suffering is not some sort of vague part of life. In the midst of suffering, we gain a greater understanding of what Christ did for us - No matter how dark things may seem, no matter how difficult things may seem, He is with us. Join Matt Maher as he takes you inside some of his songs that reflect upon the death and resurrection of Jesus.

What gets in your way from claiming victory as a Christian? Fear? Rejection? Shame? Doubt? I know what it's like to be defeated, but I also know what it is to overcome struggles that once held me.
