People everywhere need a second chance. No one understands this more than our Creator. His greatest act in history was to die on the cross for us – the ultimate second chance for His creation. This series will begin with that reminder on Easter Sunday and for the next seven weeks, discovering others in Scripture – both Old and New Testaments – who overcame personal obstacles because God gave them a second chance. Each of us will be inspired to take God up on His offer – and we will be challenged to offer that blessing to everyone we know who needs a second chance.

“Follow me!” With two simple words, Jesus comes crashing into our lives. If you dare to follow, you quickly discover Jesus always takes you to new places. He is on the move in our world.

BEYOND the way we practice our Christianity. BEYOND the kind of people we are today. It’s time to go BEYOND. Way BEYOND. In so doing, we will impact ourselves, our church, our community, and our world for Christ in ways that are BEYOND our imagination.

On Sunday mornings in December, we will look at each of the participants in the original Christmas pageant – those special people who surrounded the simple manger bed of our Lord.
