   The Dawn of Peace: An Easter Series

   The Easter season celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ, the firstfruits of the renewal and redemption of all things in the eternity of God. The Christian hope is founded on this event, for, as Paul says, if Christ did not rise from the dead, our faith is useless (1 Corinthians 15:17). This season looks forward to the consummation of the kingdom—a kingdom of peace, joy, and love. This eight-week series is designed to bring comfort and encouragement to people in the body of Christ.

   Set Free: A Pentecost Series

   This sermon series centers on Pentecost season. The day of Pentecost commemorates the defining moment in the history of the church when the apostles were filled with or baptized in the Spirit, in direct fulfillment of Jesus’s promise to his followers before he ascended into heaven. This event enabled the disciples to effectively carry out the Great Commission in the world. This series on Pentecost will emphasize the fact that we have been set free from the power of sin and are called to live new lives in Christ through the Spirit.
