In 2025, we have looked at “Greatness,” understanding what true greatness is in God’s sight. As we approached Easter through the Lent season, we looked at the “Greatness of the Cross,” learning about Christ through His wounds as He poured His life out. Now, we enter a series called “Greatness of the Resurrection.”
