Lent: Turning Our Hearts to Easter

Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the season of Lent. During this time, we start to turn our hearts and minds to Easter, moving through 40 days leading up to Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem, and the final week of his life before his death and resurrection.

The Abundant Life

April 17, 2022 • Grant Humphreys • John 10:10, Psalm 8

You were created for abundant life; perfect love, joy, and peace with God. But when Adam and Eve sinned, they lost sight of the glory of God and redirected it to themselves. Ever since then, we've been longing for the abundant life that comes through God. The message of Easter is that Jesus Christ died and rose from the dead to bring us back into perfect love, joy, and peace with God. He gave all glory to God and now we can be reunited with God through faith in Christ.

Maundy Thursday

April 14, 2022 • Cole Feix • Exodus 12:21–27, John 13:21–38, Deuteronomy 26:5–10

On Thursday night, Jesus gathered with his disciples for the Last Supper. The meal began familiarly, they had all been celebrating Passover for their whole lives. But this night, Jesus did something different. He made a new covenant and offered his life to the disciples. When we take communion now, we have the same offer; "My life for yours?"

I AM the King of Kings

Jesus rode into town for the Passover to people shouting, "Hosanna! Save us. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord." But just a week later, he was crucified. What happened in between? What did they miss about the kind of king Jesus came to be?
