“An empty tomb. A risen Savior. A living Hope. A lot can happen in 3 days!” -Carly Lynn

Mark Batterson said “One of the most paralyzing mistakes we make is thinking that our problems somehow disqualify us from being used by GOD. Let me say it like this: If you don’t have any problems, you don’t have any potential. Here’s Why. Your ability to help others is limited to where you’ve been wounded.” Let’s look today at how God can use our wounds for good because of the resurrection of Jesus.
