This Easter Celebration Combines Ultimate Fighting And Prayer

" In the mixed martial arts arena there's an expression, and the expression is don't tap out and he didn't tap out "

You won't see fighters in an octagon, but perseverance becomes the message this Easter Sunday according to pastor Skiles.

" He took every blow and He wound up becoming victorious."

Pastor Skiles and his wife Darla are always looking for ways to make the religious experience relevant. Mrs. Skiles says the connection is clear.

"Christ did endure a beating. And when you watch that and you see those men, …..go at it, it gives you a picture of what Christ might have gone through. "

"We want a relevant message to teach to people. And we want to be able to take this ancient gospel and make it relevant to someone today. "
