BECOMING More Series,  In Difficult Times,  Live Your Joy Story
The word of the day on my dictionary app said JOMO. I wasn’t familiar with the term. But deeper reflection would reveal why I should become familiar with its benefits. It’s the acronym for “the joy of missing out.” I knew its more popular opposite, FOMO, “the fear of missing...

BECOMING More Series

Before Jesus rose from the dead, His first discipl Before Jesus rose from the dead, His first disciples didn't know they were in the first #holyweek.

On Sunday morning, the tomb where Jesus was buried was empty. Mary of Magdalene told Peter and John. They ran to the tomb to see for themselves. (John 20:1-6)

As we reflect on the events leading up to the Resurrection, we can be encouraged. 

We may not be able to wrap our minds around a situation. But by faith, we can wrap our trust around what Scripture says about Jesus. (John 20:6-10)
