We begin a new series on Easter called Thrive. This series focuses on how God uses life’s downturns and recessions to show us what it truly means to live. In fact, a life given to God can actually thrive despite poor or difficult circumstances. It’s amazing to read the bible and see how God’s people experienced incredible miracles, a deeper meaning to life, and a greater sense of purpose even when all the odds were against them.
On Easter (April 12), we kick-off this series with a message titled, “Against all Odds”. The resurrection of Jesus beat the odds. If I were a betting man I would have bet against Jesus rising from the dead. BUT HE DID! The tomb is empty and Jesus is alive. Did you know that when the odds are against you that it’s a good thing? Yup, and here’s why. It’s through unfavorable odds that Jesus wants to resurrect trust, humility, worship, and faith in your life.
Often, our trust and faith in Jesus can get buried under the avalanche of life’s difficulties. And odds are it’ll get worse. The good news is that Jesus uses these tough times to resurrect our trust in him, and it’s when we truly need Jesus that we truly thrive.
At the service on Easter we’re going to tell an incredible story of a couple who came through some difficult odds through the faithfulness and power of Jesus. You don’t want to miss it! Start inviting friends and loved ones.
Let’s THRIVE!
