My current preaching series...
All Things New
The Resurrection of the Lord on Easter is the center of the Christian year, and the good news we proclaim on Easter is the very heart of the gospel - Jesus is raised from the dead and, because he lives, we shall live!
Yet, Easter refers not only to a single day, but to a whole season of celebration. The seven weeks of Easter make up a “week of weeks”: a symbol of the fullness and abundance of the new life God unleashes in Christ.
Our theme this Easter is “All Things New”. The Risen Lord invites into a new way of life characterized by faith, worship, and hope. Toward the end of the Easter season, we remember that Jesus ascended into heaven and sent us the Holy Spirit. These events establish us as an ever expanding community forever connected to the Risen Lord.
