Remembering the Cross, Rejoicing in the Resurrection As we reflect on Good Friday and celebrate Easter, we’re reminded of the greatest act of love ever shown—Jesus laying down His life for us. Good Friday invites us to pause and remember the weight of the cross. It wasn’t just a historical event—it was a divine exchange. Jesus bore our sin so we could walk in freedom. Easter morning, though, brings the hope and joy of resurrection. It’s not just that He died… it’s that He rose. Death was defeated, and through Him, we are offered new life. This season is a powerful time to: ✅ Reflect on what Christ has done ✅ Repent and draw near to God ✅ Rejoice in the hope we now live with daily ✅ Renew our commitment to walk in love, grace, and truth May our lives honor Him not just this weekend, but in how we live, give, and love—every day. “He is not here; He has risen, just as He said.” – Matthew 28:6

What’s Your Definition of True Wealth? We’re all taught to chase the maximum returns on our investments, to aim for that financial jackpot, and to plan for a future where money is never a problem. But here’s the question: What if true wealth isn’t just about financial gains? It’s easy to get caught up in the hustle of maximizing returns, climbing the corporate ladder, and accumulating wealth. But somewhere along the way, we often forget what truly matters: 🏠 Family moments that money can’t buy 🧘‍♀️ The mental peace that comes with knowing you’ve planned for the future 💖 The joy of being present for the people you love, without worrying about your financial “to-do” list Maximizing returns is important, but so is maximizing your time, peace of mind, and relationships. The balance between financial success and personal happiness is what leads to true wealth. What does true wealth mean to you? #TrueWealth #Balance #MentalPeace #FamilyFirst #FinancialFreedom
