Kevin Cushing

Kevin was a pastor’s kid, and quickly came to understand that loving God was the most important choice he could make in his life. As he got older he came to appreciate that a relationship with Jesus Christ was not only spiritually fulfilling, but intellectually and emotionally satisfying as well. Professionally, Kevin started off acting on stage and in media, and he wrote and directed some Christian films and documentaries when he was a young man.  He spent many years in motion picture and television development, and then as a marketing executive at a successful dotcom. Throughout his career, Kevin has maintained a close relationship and love for the local church and has been a sought-after speaker as well as writer of devotions and dramatic material used in worship.

A MESSAGE FROM KEVIN

“But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.” (1st Corinthians 15:20) The Bible proclaims clearly that the hope of each Christian rests entirely on the truth of Christ’s resurrection.  If Jesus was raised from the dead, then we can be sure of being resurrected ourselves and of receiving eternal life.  If Christ’s resurrection was not real, if it was a made-up story, then the apostle advises we are better off just living for pleasure because there is nothing beyond this life to look forward to. Whether we will live again depends on whether Christ lived again.  And the apostle assures us, “Christ has indeed been raised from the dead.”  The earliest believers were witnesses of the risen Christ, and they were willing at the cost of their lives to maintain that testimony.  The Bible makes the resurrection of Jesus Christ the centerpiece of our beliefs.  Because of that, Easter becomes the most important holiday for the Christian.  While Christmas celebrates the entrance of God into the world; Easter celebrates the final proof that He really was God. Our faith rests on the solid and concrete fact that Jesus died and was raised again. This year we are offering numerous opportunities for you to remember and celebrate Christ’s resurrection.
