Join us as we answer the question “What do you feel exiled from?” and how the Gospel is good news for us in our times of exile. Sermon Scripture: 1 Peter 1:3–9 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born…
We are Easter people. And while this doesn’t “feel like” Easter, that doesn’t matter. Easter is a fact. Easter is a movement. Easter conquers. Christ has risen! He has Risen Indeed! Alleluia! Sermon Scripture: Matthew 28:1–10 Now after the Sabbath, toward the dawn of the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other…
