He is risen! Today, on Easter, we gather to celebrate Jesus’ climactic defeat of Satan, sin, and death through his death on the cross and resurrection from the grave. To do that we will turn Matthew 28:16-20, a passage famously known as the Great Commission. These familiar words give us insight into the reality of Jesus’ resurrection, the uniqueness of Jesus’ identity, and the surprising nature of Jesus’ unfolding mission.

Waiting For His Son Whom He Raised
April 9, 2023 • Pastor Adam Sinnett • 1 Thessalonians 1:2–10
On Good Friday we remembered Jesus' substitutionary death on the cross. Today, on Easter, we celebrate Jesus' climactic victory over the grave through his resurrection. In Paul's first letter to the Thessalonians, he draws a line from Jesus' resurrection to his return. He argues that the reality of the former guarantees the reality of the latter. But, did Jesus rise? How do we know? Can we know?
Good Friday 2023
April 7, 2023
Good Friday marks the day that Jesus was unlawfully tried and brutally murdered on a cross outside Jerusalem, nearly 2,000 years ago. It can seem so far removed from our lives—historically and culturally—that we simply dismiss it as a mere footnote of history. But, it is not a footnote. Good Friday marks the culmination of the redemptive promises of God in the substitutionary death of Jesus, to rescue all who place their faith in him.
