On April 21, Pastor Katy preaches on John 20:1, 11-18.

In today’s world of grief and pain, we need resurrection. In our increasingly polarized and isolating society, we need hope. When we look back to the Garden of Eden in the Book of Genesis, we find a story about our own brokenness, but that story is not the final word. The same God who walks in the garden with Adam and Eve, shows up in the person of Jesus to walk in garden with Mary Magdalene. A lot happens in between those two garden stories, but like Mary Magdalene, we have a tendency to keep our focus on the tomb. Jesus shows up among us, but are we ready to enter into a new story and shift from the grave to a new creation? Are we ready to truly see and to believe?
