Made New: Living in Light of the Resurrection
“Behold, I am making all things new.” — Revelation 21:5
Easter was not the end of the story — it was the beginning of everything new.
Because Jesus rose from the dead, God has launched his new creation into the world. The resurrection is not only an event to celebrate, but a reality to live in. In Made New — Living in the Light of the Resurrection, we will explore how the risen Christ transforms our identity, our purpose, our community, and our future hope.
Over four weeks, we will see how the resurrection of Jesus is the “first fruits” of what God is doing in the world — the first sign that renewal has begun and that one day all things will be made new. The resurrection means we are not simply observers of what God has done. We are participants in his new creation life.
As resurrection people, we are called to live differently — raised with Christ, sent on his mission, formed into a new community, and anchored in the hope that God will restore all things. This series will also coincide with a renewed focus on disciple-making as we invite others to follow Jesus and participate in his work in the world.
Join us as we discover what it means to live today in the light of the resurrection.
