April 5, 2026 | Easter - Look Again

The account of the resurrection is one that we return to every year on Easter. But in spite of its familiarity — or maybe because of it — we can easily miss the resurrection’s implications for us. This week, Pastor Connor urges us to take another look at Easter. The women who found the tomb empty at sunrise were frightened and confused, but they encountered the risen Christ and realized that the impossible good news was true! Likewise, the apostles were doubtful when they heard of the resurrection, but Peter and John went to see it for themselves and experienced a change of heart. Until we have a personal encounter with Jesus, we can also miss the truth that’s right in front of us. But when we understand that Jesus has defeated death itself, our lives are changed and we receive a hope that can never die.
