Easter at Redeemer
At Easter we celebrate the life, death and resurrection of Jesus.
The story of Jesus is the divine announcement that a new world has arrived, that brokenness is being made whole again. The love of God wins and His Kingdom is one of peace and flourishing. Jesus is a King like no other — leading through love and sacrifice — and we are invited into this story, to follow this King and experience the hope of this new world ourselves.
