Resurrection Means Hope (part 2)

Thursday Apr 15, 2021

“The Lord will fight for you. You need only to be still.” (Exodus 14:14) Sometimes it’s not about us doing anything, it’s just about us being… being in the presence of God and letting God fight for us. Wounds and failures prevent us from making changes in our lives. There is hope in the resurrection of Jesus.
