The Resurrected Jesus! God raises His Son from death to life, and defeats sin, death, and the devil. Justification, redemption, reconciliation - what do these fancy words mean? Through Jesus we win! Are we living from victory rather than for victory? Text: John 20:1-18

Large crowds, excitement, and shouts of "long live the King". Surely this is the Messiah - the leader that God has sent to free the Jews from the Romans. The camera closes in on the King. He is weeping. Tears of joy, right? No, the people just don't get it - His Kingdom is not of this world. Which kingdom are we living for? Is Jesus shedding a tear for some of us? Text: Luke 19:28-44

The Lord speaks to Samuel, but Samuel doesn't recognize His voice. The Lord doesn't stop speaking. He continues to speak until Samuel listens. Samuel becomes a spokesperson for the Lord. Does God speak to us today? If so, how? Do we recognize His voice? How do we respond to what he "tells" us? Text: 1 Samuel 3:1-21

Ruth, a Moabite, gives up everything to follow and take care of Naomi, her Jewish widowed mother-in-law. God blesses Ruth with a husband and a son. However, that is just the tip of the iceberg! What else is God up to? How will God use our faithfulness and obedience? The impact might extend far beyond what we'll ever know or imagine. Text: Ruth 1:1-9; 16-18; 4:13-22

Gideon's circumstances cause him to not trust God. Gideon tests God - THREE TIMES! How does God respond? Do you trust God no matter what your circumstances? Is God waiting to use you, and you are holding back - testing Him? What will it take for you to fully trust Him? Text: Judges 6:11-23; 6:36-39; 7:19-22
