The events of Easter stand at the living center and bedrock foundation of the Christian faith. No season has greater claim to our attention, deeper hold of our affections. And yet, many of us feel a vague dread as another Easter season approaches: how do I speak of Christ’s passion and death and resurrection in ways that are both faithful and fresh? How do I tell the old, old story as though it’s late-breaking news? In this webinar, pastor, professor and author Mark Buchanan will explore three ways to bring fresh vitality to your Easter message, and to help your people – and your own heart – hear, believe and rejoice that Christ is risen, he is risen indeed.

Mark is an associate professor of Pastoral Theology at Ambrose Seminary in Calgary, AB, and formerly was pastor of New Life Community Baptist Church in Duncan, BC. His work has been published in numerous periodicals, including Christianity Today, Books & Culture, Leadership Journal, and DiscipleshipMagazine.

He has also written Your Church is Too Safe and the Four Best Places to Live. His upcoming book (summer 2019) is called Walking.
