Easter Sunday, April 5, 2026
Today, we come together to rehearse huge news: Jesus Christ is risen from the dead. But what does it mean for us? Peter lets us know as he shares the news of Jesus’ resurrection with the family and friends of Cornelius, a Roman solder. Jesus’ resurrection means 1. That He is God’s choice to be the judge of all; 2. That forgiveness and freedom are available to all through Him; and 3. That, in Him, we also conquer the grave.
