Easter 2023 - Ridgeland Church

Palm Sunday 2023

April 2, 2023 • Pastor Jared Richey • John 12:12–19

This week Pastor Jared gives a snapshot of Palm Sunday and what the triumphal entry was all about. Here are some reflection questions for you to think about as you listen! Read John 12:12-19. The people were welcoming Jesus into Jerusalem because they believed he might be the King to overthrow the Romans, but only days later, many of those people were calling for his death when Jesus didn’t fit their expectations. Have you ever thought of Jesus as one way, but then realized Jesus was completely different? Pastor Jared talks about how the Kingdom of God is not just for the future, but is constantly breaking into the present. How is God calling you to partner with him to bring about the Kingdom of God now? Spend some time in prayer, asking God to reveal the real Jesus to you and listening to where God wants to call you to embody the goodness of the Kingdom now.

Good Friday 2023

April 7, 2023 • Pastor Jared Richey

On Good Friday, we reflect on the sacrifice that Jesus made for us on the cross. Pastor Jared takes us through the story of the crucifixion and death of Jesus and helps us prayerfully find ourselves in this story of grief and sacrifice.

Easter Sunday 2023

April 9, 2023 • Pastor Jared Richey

Happy Easter from Ridgeland Church! Today Pastor Jared talks about how Easter is “The Greatest Story Ever Told” and the impact it has on us today. Here are some questions to help you reflect on the message during this holiday: What’s your favorite story (from a book, movie, or anywhere else)? Why is it your favorite? Does it make you feel a certain way? Stop and put yourself in the story of Easter. Feel the shock of the disciples as they hear the unbelievable, as they see the impossibly empty tomb before them. Would you have believed the women who told the shocking tale? If the story of Easter is real, then it’s all true, and it changes everything. Do you live as if Easter is true?
