resurrection 2022
season 02, 02.03 | living hope
We are all in need of hope, the faithful confidence that God continues to author a story. So we look to Easter, and to the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. As we reflect on his last week on earth we remember that in the face of death and darkness hope will seem foolish to the rest of the world. Between Friday and Sunday, hope seemed to be lost. Though we know Sunday is coming, and in Jesus there is life and more life. We celebrate that hope came out of a grave, and this living hope gives us a chance to come out of ours.
season 02, 02.02 | lazarus, come out!
Tonight we look at the story of when Jesus attended the peculiar funeral of his friend Lazarus in the book of John. We’re reminded in this profound story of resurrection that Jesus wants to come face to face with our pain, and that this powerful foreshadowing of his own death and resurrection promises us an alternate ending to our own stories of loss, pain, and tragedy.
season 02, 02.01 | life before death
Resurrection wasn’t a new idea in Jesus’s time – but the power over life and death was. How can we understand what it means for us to give the dead parts of our lives over to the power that Jesus has over them as we head into the celebration of the only resurrection that matters? By allowing the “pistis” of Jesus to be all that we need.
