Dear Church family and friends,
“Death is dead, life has won, Christ has conquered!”
That’s what we have celebrated this weekend! We get to live in freedom and have a close relationship with God, because His Son died in our place. His empty grave shows that even death couldn’t stop Him from saving us. He is Risen, He is Risen indeed!
Our Maundy Thursday service didn’t necessarily have a singular sermon, rather two main moments of Biblical reflection. You can see them in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0H5RiunPg44
On Easter Sunday, Pastor Buddy looked at the story of Christ’s Resurrection through Matthew 28 : 1 – 5: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ud8pe1m9aLE
