SERMON SERIES

Mary comes to the tomb full of grief and confusion until Jesus calls her by name. Before we are sent, before we get it all right, before we do anything for God, we are beloved. Join us as we begin this series by discovering how resurrection starts with being known, named, and loved by the risen Christ. Resurrection begins when love calls your name. 

The disciples are afraid and hiding when the risen Jesus suddenly stands among them and says, “Peace be with you.” Peace is not the absence of trouble; it is the presence of Christ. Join us as we discover how resurrection shapes us into people who receive peace, even in anxious and uncertain times. Peace is not something we manufacture. It’s something we receive.

Thomas isn’t looking for easy answers. He’s longing for a real encounter. Jesus doesn’t shame his questions. He meets him with grace. Join us as we explore how resurrection shapes us into people who live with honest, growing faith; not perfect certainty, but a trusting relationship with Jesus. Faith is not having everything figured out. Faith is placing our lives in Jesus’ hands.

The disciples fish all night and catch nothing. Then someone on the shore speaks. When they realize it is Jesus, Peter jumps into the water and runs toward him. Resurrection awakens holy desire. Join us as we explore how Easter shapes us into people who recognize Jesus’ presence and move toward him. When we realize it’s Jesus, we respond.

On a quiet shoreline, Jesus meets Peter after his failure and asks one simple question: “Do you love me?” Before Jesus gives Peter a task, he restores his relationship with him. Join us as we discover how resurrection shapes us into people whose purpose flows from love, not perfection. Failure is not the end of your calling.

At Jesus’ ascension, the disciples are told to stop staring at the sky and start living the resurrection. Jesus entrusts his followers with a mission: to be witnesses to his life, love, and hope. Join us as we explore how Easter shapes us into people whose lives point to the risen Christ. We don’t just believe in the resurrection, we bear witness to it.

On Pentecost, the Holy Spirit is poured out, and everything changes. Fear gives way to courage. Silence gives way to proclamation. A scattered group becomes a living community. Join us as we celebrate how God empowers Easter people to live and share resurrection life. We don’t live the Christian life by our own strength. We live it by the power of the Spirit.
