Urgency

By Lucas Bitter | May 26, 2019 |

And looking down at all of that, Jesus looked at his disciples and said ‘You go save that world!’. And he looks at us, and your church here in the middle of Atlanta and he says, save them. Tell them that God’s love isn’t something that’s earned or bought, that God loves them, and gave his Son for them. Tell them that no matter who they are or what they’ve done, forgiveness and a place in heaven are waiting for them.

From Trouble to Triumph

By Lucas Bitter | May 19, 2019 |

In heaven, not only will you never face another problem which could make you shed tears again. . . .but you will be with a God who will hold you in his arms and wipe away all the hurt, tears, scars, and baggage of the past until they’re not even a distant memory.

From Fear to Confidence

By Lucas Bitter | May 12, 2019 |

When Jesus went to the cross on Good Friday, he saw how scared we were of death and said, like a loving big brother, “Don’t be scared ““ I’ll go first!” And now by his Easter resurrection Jesus powerfully encourages us. “See! I’m OK! There’s nothing to be scared of.” And sure enough, we’re no longer scared. In fact we can even be confident to face death someday . . . because we know that just like our big brother Jesus, we will rise again.

From Selfishness to Selfless Love

Even if Christians do all kinds of great outward things, without love they mean nothing. And yet the opposite is also true: even if Christians do what seem to be very small outward things, with love they mean everything.
