    Sometimes, we become so familiar with something that it loses its wonder. Perhaps that has happened with the resurrection of Jesus? Yet, His victory over death is one of the most astonishing events in human history. Many of us believe the resurrection happened, and we may even have oriented our lives around that truth. However, it is essential to renew our sense of awe. Jesus died—but He did not stay dead. He rose from the grave, declaring that death is not the end for those who place their faith in Him. We must grasp why this matters. The resurrection of Christ is the defining reality for every believer. Visit us online at: RenewalChurch.net

The hypostatic union—Jesus being fully God and fully man—is one of the most remarkable and profound events in history. He walked among us and shared in our human experience, yet, He was completely divine. In this sermon, we will explore the significance of Jesus being both God and man. What does it mean? How was it possible? And why does it matter for us today? Visit us online at: RenewalChurch.net
