Skepticism … denial … hatred … quarreling … How can we rise above such challenges in our lives?
The Bible is full of stories of redemption, change, and hope. Through four of those stories, we discover how faith in a Risen Jesus can transform our lives for the better here and now. No matter how big or how small we fall, God’s hand is outstretched, ready to raise us up.

In a divided world, hatred can bubble up even in the hearts of those who seek to do good. The risen Christ moves us from a place of judgment to one of connection, so that we can work together for the sake of God’s kin(g)dom.
