1 Samuel 15:22-23 |

In the book of 1 Samuel, we see in Samuel’s life how God cares about the condition of our heart and the object of our obedience. We can have obedient faith like Samuel by trusting Christ to give us a new heart that is in submission to His will. Our text today gives us three ways to have obedient faith like Samuel.

Hebrews 12:1-2 |
character study, faith
We begin our Faith Heroes series with Joseph the dreamer. As we study the life of Joseph, we see the commands of the book of Hebrews very clear in his life. Hebrews shows us three ways to have heroic faith like Joseph.
For many of us, Easter means things like Spring Break, trips to see family, and traditions like egg hunts and candy. These are all fine things, but Easter really means Hope, Life, and Joy.

John 11:17-44 |
easter, gospel
Are you feeling a sense of having no purpose, like life just has little meaning right now? Are you feeling grief from a loss, perhaps the loss of a family member or the loss of a relationship? Is life just feeling too brief or too mundane? We need to hear that there is something more eternal and more abundant. In the gospel of John, Christ called Martha to believe that He was the resurrection and the life. We can receive the resurrection life of Christ by believing in Him.
