It is easy to become so engrossed in the details of historical events—who, when, where—that we miss their significance. For example, consider World War II. There are many compelling stories. Lots of dates and data to remember. However, for a moment, set all that aside, and just imagine the Allies had lost. How would the world be different today? What would life be like for those of Jewish heritage? Would freedom exist in Europe? Would we be speaking German? With historical events, you miss out if you focus only on the details: who, when, where. You also need to focus what that historical event means. The Allies won. That means something!

In this season of Easter, it is good we review the details: who, when, where. That reminds us that the resurrection of Christ is not fairytale or fable. It is a historical event. . . the historical event. However, we do ourselves a disservice if we simply recall the historic details of Easter without thinking long and hard about Easter’s significance. Jesus won. That means something! It is our privilege and pleasure to use the fifty days of Easter to discuss this fact: because he lives, not only is our eternity secure, but we have abundant resources to face the present.

Our Easter season worship on Sundays at 10am will follow this pattern:

Because He Lives . . .
April 20 We Have a Whole New Identity
April 27 We Have a Meaningful Mission
May 4   We Can See Things Clearly
May 11   We Know Jesus is Trustworthy and True
May 18 We Live Lives of Lavish Love
May 25   We Have Deep and Lasting Joy
June 1 He Reigns Over Everything for the Benefit of His Church (Ascension)
June 8   Christ Sends Us His Spirit (Pentecost)
