Firstfruits
What difference does the resurrection make in our lives beyond Easter Sunday? This message explores the reality, power, and hope of the resurrection as revealed in 1 Corinthians 15. Through eyewitness accounts, transformed lives, and the rapid growth of the early church, we affirm the historical and transformative truth of Jesus’ resurrection. The resurrection offers the power to change us now and the promise of a bright future, as Jesus is the firstfruits of the new creation.
Redeemer
He is risen! (Ephesians 1:7-10) Jesus has paid the ransom and bought us back. We are redeemed from slavery and sin. It was a high price, indeed, but you are of infinite worth to God. So, live the new life Jesus gave us when He transferred us from a life of darkness to His kingdom of redemption and forgiveness (Colossians 1:13-14).
A living Redeemer – Week 3
In the final chapter of Ruth, we saw that we need a redeemer, not just humanity, but each and every one of us. We also need a king, a benevolent, loving authority that we can only find in Christ. Finally, it is critical to know that everyone is invited; everyone is welcome. Just as Ruth was an outsider, she became an integral part of the family. This is true of each of you as well. Ephesians 2:11-21
A Living Redeemer – Week 2
Today in Ruth 3, we look at the character of Boaz. His name means strength. Boaz is a generous provider and protector. He is a pillar in his community and family. Our society needs more people like Boaz. 2 Chronicles 3:15-17
