​Our world has changed dramatically over the ages, but one thing remains the same:  after every sunset comes a glorious new sunrise.  After a period of darkness, light shines anew.  This is a constant truth both in the physical world and the spiritual one. Out of the stillness of that first Easter morning came the cry of victory as the ground shook and the stone was moved to reveal an empty tomb.  

​Since COVID-19 has disrupted our normal schedule and routine, my family and I have been joining the online gatherings of two different churches.  One of them is Southeast Christian with Pastor Kyle Idleman.  His name might sound familiar to you because he wrote the bestseller, Not A Fan.  Now he’s the senior pastor of one of the largest churches in America. 
 
Kyle Idleman has been preaching a series called “Reverse the Curse,” which delves into what happened during Adam and Eve’s sin in Genesis 3, the subsequent fall out and consequences that we’re still dealing with today, and the glorious revelation that Jesus is the great curse reverser.  Jesus reverses the curse of sin and gives us new life in Him.  He takes what was broken and makes it whole.  He brings beauty from ashes and breathes new life to what was once dead.
