Easter Season Series: "The Resurrection Life"
Jesus' Resurrection is a display of God's plan for the world and for us and an invitation to join into this life of victorious power and love. What does this "Resurrection Life" look like? I think we get a glimpse in Matthew 28:18-20, often known as "The Great Commission." Until Pentecost, we explore these three verses as a blueprint for living life in light of Jesus' Resurrection.
EASTER SERVICE: April 24, 2011 "Nothing to Fear" Matthew 28: 1-20. The Resurrection Story has it all: fear, surprise, and joyful victory. How can the story of Jesus' Resurrection turn our lives into Resurrection stories as well?

May 1, 2011: The 'A' Word" Matthew 28:18. "Authority" has become a bit of a dirty word. What if authority doesn't have to be oppressive? What if Jesus' authority actually liberates, empowers, creates, and invites? Then Jesus' authority would be the foundation and model of the Resurrection Life.
