HE is RISEN! HE is Risen indeed!

This sermon reflects on the meaning of Resurrection Sunday, emphasizing that Easter is not just a historical event but a present reality that transforms believers’ lives.
Raised with Christ: Believers are called to live from the new identity given by being raised with Christ, leaving behind old fears and wounds. Resurrection is the foundation of their new life.

Seek the things above: Followers are encouraged to prioritize values exemplified by the risen Christ such as mercy, justice, and compassion, choosing forgiveness, courage, generosity, truth, and hope over their opposites.

Life hidden with Christ: The true life of believers is securely held in God’s heart, offering protection and hope even in times of feeling unseen or unfinished.

Revealed in glory: The sermon concludes with the promise that when Christ is revealed in glory, believers will also be revealed with Him, living in the tension of resurrection hope and transformation.

Good Friday

The Crucifixion of Jesus Christ
Matthew 27:1–61 • Mark 15:1–47 • Luke 22:66–23:55 • John 18:28–19:42

Entering the Silence of the Cross

Good Friday is the day the church dares to stand still before the mystery of a God who suffers. It is the day we refuse to look away. The day we acknowledge that the world’s violence, injustice, and fear converged on the body of Jesus—and that he bore it not with retaliation, but with a love that refuses to die.

Each Gospel tells the story with its own texture:

• Matthew emphasizes the tearing of the temple curtain and the earth shaking, as if creation itself cannot remain unmoved.
• Mark gives us the raw cry of abandonment—“My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”—the honest prayer of every suffering soul.
• Luke shows Jesus forgiving even as he is crucified, and welcoming the criminal beside him into paradise.
• John reveals Jesus as the sovereign Lamb who lays down his life willingly, completing the work of love.

Together, they form a single truth:
The cross is where God meets humanity at its worst and refuses to give up on us.
