When we think about why we celebrate Christ’s crucifixion it can feel a bit morbid. On the surface, it may seem to some as if we’re glorifying the murder of an innocent man! Pastor Mike Fabarez reminds us the real reason we celebrate is because through it, Jesus defeated death and sin by rising from the dead.
True courage is rare. And when we see it, we may question our own spiritual resolve when we are confronted or censored. The early church thrived not despite opposition, but through it and Christians today are facing increased attacks to their faith that may cost them something in their lives.
Learn how the courageous stories of men and women of faith can bolster your confidence to stand up when you face opposition.
