Easter Sunday – April 17, 2022
Witnesses to Christ: Mary Magdalene We have followed Jesus to the cross, the tomb, and now we follow Jesus out of the tomb as He rises from the dead and appears to another witness: Mary Magdalene. Jesus’ Easter morning resurrection appearance to Mary Magdalene might be unexpected. After all, Mary had endured a terrible past. Jesus had cast seven demons out of her in the early part of His ministry. But Mary is chosen to be this eyewitness, and she…

Maundy Thursday – April 14, 2022
Witnesses to Christ: Judas Iscariot Betrayed by Judas, one of His twelve disciples. Betrayed by Judas for thirty pieces of silver. Betrayed by Judas with a kiss—imagine that, a kiss! After betraying Jesus, Judas plunges into the depths of despair. He does not return to Jesus to seek forgiveness. But this Thursday, the night Jesus is betrayed, reminds us of the forgiveness, life, and salvation that Jesus provides for us in the Lord’s Supper. May we keep our eyes fixed…
Easter Vigil – April 16, 2022
Witnesses to Christ: Nicodemus Our journey following Jesus to the cross has ended. Christ’s work on the cross is finished. On this Holy Saturday, we wait, watch, and pray.

We see that Jesus’ words spoken to Nicodemus in John 3 are bearing fruit. Nicodemus has followed Jesus and is born again from above as…
Good Friday – April 15, 2022
Witnesses to Christ: John, the Gospel Writer Our journey to follow Christ through witnesses to Christ arrives now at the cross. Tonight, we view Christ on the cross through the author’s eyes—John, Apostle and Evangelist, the beloved disciple, the son of Zebedee, and the brother of James. By John’s witness, we view Jesus beaten and bloodied. We hear His words of forgiveness and fulfillment. We see Him shedding His blood for the life of the world. As we sing and…
