Today’s message is titled “How to Live and How to Die.” Today, Pastor Harold unpacks Psalm 90 and helps us understand how to live a Jesus-centered life with a sense of excitement and urgency.

Welcome to Easter Sunday 2021. Today’s message was two parts. Part One: 2021 The Year of the Resurrected Church. We discussed the state of the BIG C Church and our personal context. How COVID-19 has impacted the church, and what challenges the church faces moving forward. Part Two: Hope In The Resurrected Jesus. We discussed Romans 6:1-14 and the state of our already but not yet glorified soul and body in Jesus Christ as children of God. Many Christians assume their soul’s transformation will happen at their death and fail to understand that their transformation starts when they surrender and experience the Risen Jesus.
