Although it was over 2,000 years ago, the resurrection of Jesus still stands as the decisive point in all of human history. This was a Game, Set, Match moment of eternal significance. Because Jesus has risen, God wins! If we are in a relationship with God through Jesus, we share in His victory!
Join us as we celebrate the biggest momentum shift of all…the resurrection of Jesus.
