Where we are gathered to celebrate God’s love for us revealed in Jesus!
Easter Sunday April 20, 2025
As we gather for worship this Sunday
Holy Week changes everything. All of life looks different in light of Jesus’s death and resurrection. Do we still have troubles? Of course! Just as many as ever—if not more. Do we still face death? Absolutely! Our mortality rate has not budged a bit from its timeless and universal toll (100%). BUT: Jesus bore our sufferings—all of them. That makes it easier for us to bear them too. And Jesus died our death—so that it too “died,” with Him. And so we too will one day rise! In the midst of so many other distractions, these are the most important things in the world for us to remember, contemplate, ponder, cling to, and wonder at.
