"And if Christ has not risen, then our preaching is in vain [it amounts to nothing] and your faith is devoid of truth and is fruitless (without effect, empty, imaginary, and unfounded)." - 1 Corinthians 15:14 (AMP) - For Christians, the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ is absolutely paramount and central to our faith, but is there really proof of the resurrection of Jesus? Is the whole story made up? Lisa Fields with the wonderful Jude 3 Project provides some insight and answers in a short, less than ten minute video: It's okay to ask God questions. We encourage you to ask Him in doubt, in skepticism, or in curiosity. Seek Him earnestly, honestly, with an open and humble heart. Consider asking Him, directly, to reveal Himself. Maybe that sounds like a simple prayer, "Jesus (in Hebrew: Yeshua), if you’re real, please reveal Yourself to me, and who I am to You." “The God who made the world and everything in it, this Master of sky and land, doesn’t live in custom-made shrines or need the human race to run errands for him, as if he couldn’t take care of himself. He makes the creatures; the creatures don’t make him. Starting from scratch, he made the entire human race and made the earth hospitable, with plenty of time and space for living so we could seek after God, and not just grope around in the dark but actually find him. He doesn’t play hide-and-seek with us. He’s not remote; he’s near." - Acts 17:24-27 (MSG) - You are loved, valued, and purposed, friend, and this Easter season, we are praying for exploration and consideration. Please reach out anytime for prayer, if you have any questions, or just need a listening ear.
Happy Easter! Text/Call: 414-858-8554 Email: [email protected]

This month, Vintage Pearls MKE would like to invite you to check out Streetlights. To unfold God's Word through creative communication - so all can understand, Streetlights' identity and call are founded on the belief that God’s Word is alive and transformational. Maybe you received a physical Bible from Vintage Pearls MKE this Christmas season, but perhaps reading is not really your thing. If you're interested in the Bible, but struggle reading as a learning style, what do you think of listening to it instead? Streetlights has three lanes of focus, their first being their Audio Bible. With both English and Spanish options, Streetlights Audio Bible is also set to an amazing and dynamic hip-hop soundscape. Click below if you're interested in listening or downloading the app to your phone:  With eight albums, Streetlights also engages musically and poetically through their music ministry, Alert 312. From this Chicago-based trio, check out their incredible music here:  Lastly, Streetlights also teaches God's Word. Through their Corner Talk, Streetlights teaches God's Word plainly, like a conversation on a corner; come through and hear some honest thoughts and questions about real life situations, but also some real answers for life’s deepest issues.  There are so many great, topical videos on who God is, His attributes, who we are, and what our response can look like, and most videos are under three minutes. We've included a few below for you if interested: Who is God? Redeemer: Who Am I? Redeemable: What Do I Do? Allow God to Make You New: Just as with Streetlights, we here at Vintage Pearls MKE have experienced God's love deeply and transformationally, and want you to know God and His love. Streetlights has been a staple on our website for many years, and we're so grateful for Streetlights, their creative work, teaching, and passion, and we hope they bless you this Christmas season as they have blessed us! You are loved, valued, and purposed, friend. Please reach out anytime for prayer, if you have any questions, or just need a listening ear. Merry Christmas!
