This message looks at what hope Easter really promises and the resurrection that is available to all who trust in Jesus.

Good Friday is a uniquely Christian celebration, but it is rooted in a Jewish event full of symbolism pointing to its significance. This message looks at the Passover and how it helps us to understand the meaning of the final hours of Jesus’ life on this earth.
