Re-build your faith between Resurrection and Pentecost. There are fifty days between the Resurrection and Pentecost. Let the fifty-day period between Resurrection and Pentecost become a period of Faith Fitness.

This period is the most powerful period in the history of the Christian faith. The Resurrection is the foundation of Christian faith, apart from which our faith is in vain. And Pentecost, the giving of the Holy Spirit, marks the beginning of the Church.

Celebrate the new resurrected life, overcome your fear, refuse to doubt, restore your faith, live the Great Commission, receive and embrace the Holy Spirit, and use the power of the Holy Spirit to build your faith.

HOW DID THE RESURRECTION CHANGE EVERYTHING?

Before the resurrection, humankind was shackled by death.
We were all dead in sin without hope.
The resurrection of Jesus freed humanity from the curse of death.

THE BEGINNING OF A NEW ERA

The resurrection marked the beginning of your new life. This was the beginning of a new human era. If you believe in the resurrection of Jesus, you will live and not die.
