By growing in faith through study of the inerrant Word of God, we will be enabled to tell the lost of God's saving grace. The peace we speak of is peace with God through Jesus Christ, our Savior. We know it, we love it, and we share it.

Because his tomb is empty our hope is not.

Scientists say that the February, 2010 8.8 magnitude earthquake in Chile changed the earth's axis and shortened an earth day. Still, the massive power of the earthquake could change the world only by some 3 inches and 1.26 microseconds.

Another earthquake 2,000 years ago changed the world far more completely-- and forever. St. Matthew reports: "There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going into the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it.... The angel said to the women, 'Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen.'"

Far more than just moving the axis of the earth a couple of inches, the resurrection of Jesus Christ altered the world's future and everyon in it. It has opened the gates of heaven itself. It has lengthened our little span of time spent on earth to an eternity of life forever with God.

In short, because his tomb is empty, our hope is not. We have a Savior who lives to guide us, to support us, and finally to bring us safely to his side above. Come, worship with us--and have your hope renewed.
