VICTORY FROM THE TOMB  Usually, the grave is a place of mourning and sorrow, grief and loss. But Jesus’ resurrection changes everything. The tomb is empty! He is risen! Victory is his, and he shares his victory with us! In him, we too have a new life before us. We are set free from our sin to live transformed lives of freedom, joy, sacrifice, and renewal – today! And we are given the amazing promise of our own victorious resurrection when he returns and puts the whole world right!

VICTORY FOR YOU. The victory won by Jesus on the cross and proven by the empty tomb is given to you!  This comes in the form of an intense peace that passes all understanding.  In addition to this peace-providing victory, Jesus also gives you his mission, the great commission, to seek and save the lost.
