Have you ever found yourself standing at the intersection of grief and faith, asking, "Where were you, Jesus?" In a heartfelt sermon, Pastor Bogdan Kipko guides us through the story of Martha and Mary, sisters mourning the death of Lazarus. As Martha expresses her grief, saying, "Lord, if you had been here, my brother wouldn't have died," Pastor Bogdan emphasizes that Jesus meets us in our pain, offering not merely resurrection as a future hope but as a present reality. Don’t let your heart remain burdened—come, listen, and discover how Jesus can resurrect the dead places of your life today!

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
