SERMON SNAPSHOT: Sunday, April 12, 2026

Dear Friends in Jesus –

Jesus came that we might have life, and have life in abundance. During Lent we imagined what that would look like as particular people in God’s particular purpose through Second Church. Not just that we would not know want, but that we would know abundant joy, generosity, holy purpose, caring for God’s creation, preserving truth, heartfelt worship, promoting social righteousness, and living like we mean it!

Last Sunday we celebrated the resurrection – the pivotal moment in the cosmos!

So, what do we do the next Sunday? Easter II is often known as Low Sunday. No mystery here. Lower energy, lower attendance. Maybe, but I’m not a subscriber. I don’t buy it and won’t!

The narratives we return to each year beg us to see things in fresh ways, through resurrection eyes.

Sunday we remind ourselves why we may live in hope in the midst of wars, fires, floods and folly.

Ain’t nothing low about it. Let’s take another chance to celebrate salvation together!

Someone you haven’t seen in a while? Give ‘em a call.

See you Sunday –
