Zechariah
Hope in the Return
The book of the prophet Zechariah was written during the return to Jerusalem and rebuilding of the temple. After almost 70 years in exile only a remnant have returned home. People are discouraged and wondering where the Lord is in their rebuilding efforts. It is not the new Jerusalem they expected. But then the Lord breaks his silence to Zechariah. His message is not only of hope in the return of Israel and the new temple. It is also a vision of the coming Messiah who brings blessing and salvation to the world.
Resurrection Sunday 2023
When Jesus rose from the dead, many of his followers doubted that it was true. But when he appeared to them and they saw he was alive, they were filled with joy.

The people who waited for the first Christmas had a lot of ideas of what they wanted in a Messiah. But God gave us what we really needed. In this Advent series we ask the question, "What do you really NEED for Christmas?" The answer can be found in the names that refer to Jesus the Messiah.

WHY? a two-part Easter mini-series
"I passed on to you what was most important and what had also been passed on to me. Christ died for our sins, just as the Scriptures said. He was buried, and he was raised from the dead on the third day, just as the Scriptures said." (1 Corinthians 15:4-5 NLT)
Why did God choose to have Jesus die? Was there another way to save the world?
Why is important that Jesus rose from the dead? Can humanity be save without believing that he did?
