Matthew

Easter 2016

Have you ever felt lost and alone, like you’re stumbling through a dark tunnel and God’s light seems so far away?

So did the disciples. When the thick fog of disillusionment and disappointment settled after Jesus’ heartbreaking death, His disciples felt helpless and vulnerable. But when Christ rose from the dead, light broke through and dispelled their depression.

Join Chuck Swindoll for his Easter message, and allow the light of Christ’s resurrection to give you hope today. Remember that “weeping may last through the night, but joy comes with the morning” (Psalm 30:5).

Divine Love and Grace

Every Christmas we hear the familiar story. There’s a virgin, a baby, a bewildered husband, a dirty stable, a few shepherds, and that’s all there is to it. Right?

Wrong!

Christmas represents the most magnificent message that’s ever been told. The baby born in the stable was not just any baby. He is God in the flesh—the very revelation of love and grace.

Don’t forget the real significance of the season. Join Chuck Swindoll as he reminds us that the incarnation of Christ demonstrates God’s infinite love and unconditional grace.

Easter 2010

John 20:6–8

Did Jesus really die? Could He, in fact, just have been in a coma? Before you can celebrate a resurrection, you must first establish that Jesus really died. Sceptics will argue different theories that deny the miracle, but a look at the facts and the testimonies will prove that Jesus Christ, Son of God, rose from the dead. After hope itself had died, God had the final say.
