A Living Hope

What if the moment you thought you’d lost everything was the beginning of a hope you could never lose? Picture Peter—ashamed, broken, a man who denied Jesus when it mattered most. Then, imagine the risen Christ calling his name by a quiet shore, turning his failure into a fire that would burn through the ages. That’s where our story starts: with a living hope, born in the ashes of despair and proven by an empty tomb.

Over the next eight weeks, we’re diving into A Living Hope—a series inspired by Peter’s words and Jesus’ resurrection. It’s a hope that doesn’t flinch at suffering, a hope that transforms lives, a hope so real it demands to be shared. From a scholar proving the resurrection’s truth to an Easter morning that changes everything, we’ll see how the risen Jesus meets us, restores us, and sends us out.

Join us starting March 2nd as we uncover a hope that’s not just a wish—it’s alive, unshakable, and waiting for you.
