Resurrection Stories
“In the corpse’s core, the stone fist of his heart began to bang on the stiff chest’s door and breath spilled back into that battered shape. Now it’s your limbs he longs to flow into- from the sunflower center in your chest outward- as warm water shatters at birth, riveting away.”
Christians believe that the resurrection of Jesus at Easter is the central event in all human history, the singular moment that changes the whole universe. Jesus’ resurrection is the central one in the Scriptures- but not the only one. This Easter season, we’re going to be exploring the Bible’s stories of resurrection, to get a feel for how brings new life out of death, and what it looks like to live the new life we’re given in Jesus.
Whether you’re only beginning to explore faith, or you’ve been a follower of Jesus for a long time, you’re invited to join us on Sundays as we reflect on how to experience and practice new life!
