As we approach Easter Sunday, we will anchor ourselves in what Scripture records as the final words that Jesus spoke from the cross. We'll be taking a journey through the last 6 hours and the significance of the words Jesus chose to speak! As followers of Jesus, we engage God's Word in this Lenten season to prepare our hearts for the celebration and victory over the cross.

It's week 2 of our new series, The Resilient, and Pastor Bob shares this message that reminds us of who we are in Christ.
This is the first message in The Resilient series. Discovering Biblical resilience requires relying on God as our main source in all aspects of life, whether it be mental, physical, or spiritual. By doing so, we gain a sense of peace that only He can provide. In times of trial—including the pandemic, economic turmoil, grief, and the current newsreel, — we’ve had to rally again and again. Yet at some point, we have to replenish our soul’s reserves or we will burn out.Throughout the Resilient series, the Book of Daniel offers guidance on how to draw upon the wisdom of Scripture. Through this, we learn how to receive the strength that comes from Jesus alone, which allows us to prevail during even the most difficult times.
