Every Easter, we show up. We put on our best, we fill the room, and we celebrate the cross and the empty tomb. We say, “He is risen!” But if we’re honest, many of us walk away still wondering what the resurrection actually means for our everyday lives. Because once the songs fade, life doesn’t slow down. The pressure is still there. The questions linger. Deep down, many of us are still asking, where do I really stand with God? What if Easter is pointing us to something more? Gripped By Grace discovers what the resurrection truly opens up for us - that God is not standing at a distance with a list of demands, but has drawn near to us through Jesus.
Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent, which originated in the early Christian Church. As a sign of repentance, Christians would sprinkle ashes on his or her head. In the Bible, ashes were always associated with humility and mortality, fasting and remorse.

What do we know about angels? Are they roaming among us today? The angels were busy leading up to, during, and even after the birth of Christ. Angels appear to always come with a message, usually meant for one person or a specific group of people.
How often have you been put in a situation or circumstance where you truly were desperate for God to provide? You couldn’t pay the next bill, you didn’t have enough money to feed your family, your health was on the edge of critical, or you simply needed a job. Simply put, you needed God to provide.
The Apostle Paul shares a prayer for believers (that’s you and me) that promises “power through His Spirit in your inner being in order for us to be rooted in and grounded in love.” What is this power and how can we experience it?
Need a restart, a jumpstart, or maybe a new start? This message is for you! If you have been feeling “stuck” in your relationship with God, isolated from people for too long, or needing to be inspired by the fact that God is still moving in our midst, then these messages will apply to you.
We have reached the book of Revelation in our daily Bible reading! Let’s just admit it - Revelation is a very strange book. It’s full of angels and demons, lions and lambs, horses and dragons, ghouls, ghosts, and beasts.
