The Case for Easter study based on Lee Strobel’s book will run March 15 through April 5. This "investigation" into Christ's death answers three crucial questions seekers ask: Was Jesus' death a sham? Was his tomb really empty? Was he seen alive after his death on the cross? Strobel's skills as a legal journalist will help you as you share God’s story of salvation with your neighbors.
