Life is scary. Even life with the risen Jesus. According to Matthew, the first witnesses of Jesus’ resurrection were afraid, even while they worshipped the risen Jesus at his feet (Matthew 29:1-10)! Life at Jesus’ feet doesn’t always remove our fears. But Jesus gives them—and us—two gifts when we are afraid: 1) a merciful response—“do not be afraid,” and 2) a meaningful mission—“go and tell my brothers.” We’ll explore these life changing gifts this Easter Sunday. In addition, children in preschool through 5th grade are invited to participate in our annual resurrection eggs tradition during Hope Kids, and everyone is invited to our monthly newcomer’s brunch with donuts after the service. We can’t wait to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus with you at Hope!
