The underlying reason “Good Friday” is good, is because of Sunday. The crucifixion of Christ is fulfilled in the resurrection. His blood shed for us, his victory over death, his triumphant breakout from the tomb – that’s what it’s about for you and me – our lives get to breakout of all the corruption, turmoil, depression and sin of this world into a new life in Jesus Christ! Good Friday is good because of redemption! The Bible is very clear that the cross was a place of mercy for you. Jesus forever defeated the lies, power and position of the...

What better way to celebrate the week of Easter than watch a man come into new life with Jesus! This just happened. Saturday at our UNSHAKABLE summit in Houston, a successful businessman named Chris had invited a young man to attend who’s lived a rough and troubled life. Chris had been ministering to him for several months. Mentoring him, praying for him, trying to help him back into life. The young man said he couldn’t come to the summit because he had to go to a car show and help his brother sell a car. During the altar call in...

This week. A week of passion, war, hatred, redemption and peace. Jesus captured. Reviled. Condemned. Crucified. RISEN. Hope is alive! Because of this week, because of the cross … hope fills our hearts. Yet war seems always on the horizon. We live in a violent, chaotic world. One in which evil men are ever-present.

And the determination to hold on to faith in the face...

God is perfect in his timing. Exquisite in his creative nature. Refined in his telling of the story of his son Jesus. Focused on the redemption of the world. Nothing was random. So why did Easter happen when it did? Why did the crucifixion take place during the season of the Passover Festival? Why not during Rosh Hashanah when a new year is celebrated … could have been about new life. Why not during Yom Kippur which focuses on repentance and forgiveness … that would make sense. Jesus gave his life. God sacrificed his son. We were forgiven and redemption...

There’s a lot of change in the world happening right now. It is the one constant in life … change. Change is inevitable. And it’s inconvenient. So how do we deal with change? We change. We grow. We mature. We move more into His presence. It’s easier to stay the same. No awkward annoying changes. Just keep trudging along. Same lane. It’s more convenient, more comfortable, we know the route. But if you don’t change - you will miss your future. If you want your life to be better in three years, then you must change today. That change is...
