WHAT HAPPENS IN THIS EPISODE?

In this Jesus Stores episode, we look at what Resurrection really means for those who follow Jesus. We explain the meaning of Resurrection – as Jesus would have us understand it – and what that means for our lives. There is some hard teaching here, but we need to seriously consider how the Resurrection makes following Jesus unique in the culture.
