Some people cope with overwhelming circumstances by trying to numb the pain. Others just pretend like everything's great when they're really falling apart. Overwhelm blurs our vision - but we’re called by God to live authentic lives that deal with reality, not avoid it. So what do we do when we can't see clearly? In the finale of the series "RISE", Pastor Joe uses the story of Mary Magdalene to remind us that when we see the risen Jesus clearly, everything else comes into focus. Jesus defeated sin and death on the cross so we could find freedom from being blinded and paralyzed by difficult circumstances. He wants to open our eyes to see how He can work in any situation to make every part of us brand new!
