Because Jesus is raised from the dead, not only is the curse of sin and death broken, but we now as His followers today are used as curse=breakers alongside Him, through the Holy Spirit. Listen in today to the first part of a short 2-week series on how we can be reconcilers and builders with Jesus in our world that still has shards of the curse that are prevalent.
The Curse is Broken! (1 Corinthians 15:12-28)
On Easter Sunday, the church celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. The ancient curse of sin and death is forever defeated. Listen in today to learn why this is both a trusted and verifiable act of history, and what it means for our weary world.
