Shadows of Resurrection

Join us this Lent for a transformative six-week sermon series, “Shadows of Resurrection: Old Testament Promises Leading to Easter’s Victory.” Each Sunday, we’ll journey through ancient scriptures—from Genesis to Daniel—uncovering God’s promises that point to Christ’s triumph over sin and death. This season invites you to reflect deeply on your own spiritual journey, confronting sin’s grip and embracing hope through repentance, prayer, and acts of love, as we prepare for the joy of Easter.

Through vivid Old Testament stories, we’ll explore themes of brokenness, sacrifice, and divine restoration. From the serpent-crushing promise in Eden to the dry bones revived in Ezekiel’s vision, each message reveals how God’s plan unfolds to defeat death itself, making Lent a season of personal renewal and communal worship.

Whether you’re seeking a fresh start, deeper faith, or a place to belong, this series offers a meaningful path to Easter’s victory. Come, discover how God’s ancient promises speak to your heart today, and join us in worship as we anticipate the risen Christ!
