Methodist Temple UMC

Pastors Randy and Andy reflect on the meaning of Easter as more than a single Sunday. They explore how the resurrection story invites us to find Jesus not only in Scripture, but also in the middle of our brokenness, grief, joy, and everyday lives. The conversation points to a simple but powerful truth: Easter is a season of hope, renewal, and learning to recognize Christ’s presence with us now.
