In this powerful Easter Sunday message, *“Just As He Said,”* we reflect on the fulfilled promise of Jesus’ resurrection—a promise that many heard, but few understood or believed.

Conflict is inevitable—even in the Body of Christ. The ones we love the most can hurt us the deepest, but Jesus understands that pain better than anyone. He was betrayed, abandoned, and crucified, yet His response was, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." (Luke 23:34) When believers sin against us, how should we respond? Matthew 18:15-16 gives us a clear process for handling con...
