On the fourth Sunday of Eastertide, our liturgy points us to remember that Jesus is the Good Shepherd. What makes Jesus not just a good shepherd but the Good Shepherd? And how are we more like sheep that we’d like to admit?

May we hear our Good Shepherd’s voice, may we know Him who calls us each by name, and follow where He leads.

"Christ the Good Shepherd," Eastertide, John 10:1-10, The Rev. JD Meeder.

On this third Sunday of Eastertide, we find ourselves on the road to Emmaus in the gospel of Luke. Now that the resurrection has happened, the disciples are left wondering, “what happens now?” While Christ's work of salvation is complete, we must allow it to have its complete effect on our lives, reordering our vision, desires, and hopes.

"Christ is Risen! Now What?," Eastertide, Luke 24:13-35, The Rev. Zach Croonquist.

After encountering Mary in the morning, Jesus next appears to his disciples that same evening. In their fear and uncertainty, Jesus brings His Presence, Peace, and Spirit. Even in the midst of your own deep doubt and fear, how is the Lord encountering you?

"Three Gifts From Our Risen Lord," Eastertide, John 20:19-31, The Rev. Dcn. Melissa Lewkowicz.

In the early hours of the morning on the third day after Jesus’ crucifixion, Mary Magdalene came to his tomb with the intent of finishing the preparation of his body for burial. When she arrived, the tomb was already open and his body was gone. On this Easter Sunday, we take a closer look at Mary—her darkness, her encounter, and her hope at realizing her Lord has risen from the dead, just as he promised.

"Mary and the Empty Tomb", Eastertide 2026, John 20:1-18, Rev. J.D. Meeder.

The resurrection of Jesus is not a myth or simply a sentimental story, but a historical fact witnessed by real people. At our Easter Vigil service, Bishop Alan focuses on three key phrases from the Gospel of Matthew: "He is not here," "He has risen," and "just as he said," demonstrating that Jesus' resurrection was both prophesied throughout Scripture and confirmed by eyewitness testimony. Christianity stands or falls on this historical event, which transforms death's sting into victory through Christ.

"Easter Vigil: Christ is Risen, Just As He Said", Holy Week 2026, Matt. 28:1-10, The Rt. Rev. Alan Hawkins.

“Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.” (John 15:13, ESV)

At the cross we see the greatest act of love on display and a promise of God’s deliverance fulfilled. During our Good Friday service, Fr. Zach looks at three of the seven things Jesus said while enduring the cross, and the truths they hold: the judgement of the cross, the scandalous love of the cross, and the subversive power of the cross.

"At the Cross on Good Friday," Holy Week 2026, John 19:1-37, Rev. Zach Croonquist.

If you knew you only had one day left to live, what would you do? Jesus, knowing that “the hour has come,” he gathers with his disciples one last time for the Passover meal. Here, on the night where the Jewish people remember God’s covenant and deliverance from slavery in Egypt, Jesus comes to bring a New Covenant, sacrificing his own body and blood to deliver his people from the bondage of sin.
