This week at All Places Together we explore another part of who God is: the One Who Loves Us Through Death, by looking at the story of the Exodus and the Resurrection. There is a lot of talk about death in this episode, so listen with caution if you’re in a tender place. Spoiler alert: Death loses. God’s love always wins.

The core affirmation of All Places Together is that God loves us, wherever, whoever, and however we are. When we flip that affirmation around, we get: We love God, wherever, whoever, and however God is. But do we know where, who, and how God is?

Join Pastor Colleen is exploring these questions and getting to know God (again). The series starts today with Who is God? The One Who Loves Us to Life.
