Easter Sermon: In a culture of an increasing hopelessness, the Christian hope, grounded in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ offers a real hope–Jesus did rise bodily from the dead; and a living hope with ongoing implications for lives.

During our Palm Sunday service, Dean walks us through the story of the last supper and the following events, talks about the significance of bearing our burdens, and reminds us of who we would have been in the Passion narrative.
In Luke 20: 19-26, we hear Jesus say “Render to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.” Johnny explains the history behind those testing Jesus, the meaning of Jesus’ statement, and what this means about how we live our lives.
