No Tomb Can Hold Him: The Power of Easter

Exploring Matthew's bold and dramatic account of the resurrection, we discover that Easter is not a detached event but God meeting us in the toughest places of life, transforming death into a new beginning.

5th April, 2026 (Year A – Easter Day) “The Risen Lord”

If Christ is not risen, then our faith is futile.  The first 2 people to see the risen Jesus were 2 women. We are called to focus on the people in the Easter Day Story whom God engaged with, in a real and personal way. We can find resurrection in the tough places of life, where fear and joy combine for positive responses. Easter is a beginning and not the end!

14th April 2024 (Year B – Easter 3) “In the Midst!”

Troubled and full of doubts the disciples are hiding in a locked room. Jesus appears and stands there.  An example of “A life after life after death.” Appearances of Jesus to his disciples shows the message of, ‘Faith and Hope and Doubt’ are in collision, which helps us to face our own confusion. The one who died stands “In the Midst” with a new offering.
