The resurrection is what makes life meaningful. Without it, Christianity is not true; without it, life has no point. With the resurrection, if we serve Jesus, then our life now has meaning and is not in vain.

"Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me." In reality, names can grow into labels, and labels can affect how we live our lives. Pastor Josh explains that we each need to learn what is true about ourselves.
