Why the Resurrection Changes Everything
The Daily + Weekly by Vince Miller
If Jesus didn’t rise, nothing matters—but if he did, you don’t get to stay the same. Summary The resurrection is not a small detail in the Christian story—it is the turning point that changes everything. Without it, the cross is just a tragic death and sin still holds its power. But because Jesus walked out of the grave, death is no longer final, sin is defeated, and new life is possible. The resurrection doesn’t just invite belief—it demands a response that reshapes how you live. Reflection & Small Group Discussion Questions 1. Why does Paul say that without the resurrection,...

You Would’ve Been There—Watching
The Daily + Weekly by Vince Miller
You wouldn’t have stood apart from the crowd—you would’ve been part of the reason for the cross. Summary We like to believe we would’ve stood with Jesus, but the cross exposes a deeper truth about human nature. Even his closest followers ran, denied him, or stayed silent when it mattered most. The crowd wasn’t just made up of enemies—it was filled with ordinary people who chose passivity over courage. The cross confronts us with a hard reality: we’re not just observers of the moment—we’re participants in the reason it had to happen. Reflection & Small Group Discussion...

The 5 Moments Everyone Gets Wrong About the Cross
The Daily + Weekly by Vince Miller
We don’t reject the cross—we misunderstand it, and that changes everything. Summary Many people are familiar with the cross, but few truly understand what happened in its defining moments. Each event—from Jesus’ cry of abandonment to the tearing of the veil—reveals something deeper about sin, judgment, and access to God. These are not emotional details; they are theological realities that explain what Jesus actually accomplished. When you see the cross clearly, it stops being symbolic and starts confronting everything about you. Reflection & Small Group Discussion Questions 1....

If anyone is inclined to be contentious, we have...

Why Jesus Had to Die This Way
The Daily + Weekly by Vince Miller
You can’t have a God of mercy without a God of justice—and the cross is where both are satisfied. Summary We want forgiveness, but we resist the idea of judgment—yet God is perfectly just, which means every sin must be dealt with. The cross was not symbolic or optional; it was necessary because someone had to pay for sin. Jesus didn’t die generally—he died specifically, as a substitute, taking the full weight of justice so mercy could be offered. The cross reveals both the seriousness of sin and the depth of God’s provision to deal with it completely. Reflection & Small Group...
