Through this 13-week group, you’ll discover what to expect in the days ahead and what’s “normal” in grief.

Body of Proof: A Study on the Resurrection of Jesus

Body of Proof: A Study on the Resurrection of Jesus
Sundays, March 2 – March 30  |  5:00 PM  |  B408

The most important fact of the Christian faith is that Jesus isn’t dead. He was resurrected on a Sunday morning two thousand years ago, and that one weekend included His execution, an earthquake, daytime darkness, an uprising, and a miracle unlike any the world had ever seen. Those events and the days that followed changed everything about the world and formed the center of our faith. Yet, outside of a few days each year, we don’t spend much time contemplating the resurrection. In this four-session Bible study, we’ll look back on that incredible weekend and see why the resurrection of Jesus gives us hope and confidence today.
