The mystery of Resurrection is first announced in a garden. From barren, stone-sealed shadowy tomb, into loamy, breeze-breathed, sun-dappled soil bursting with life, Easter interrupts deathly endings with new-day budding potential. This mysterious way of Jesus is meant to open us to new-creation stories, habits and belonging that bring our truest, God-breathed selves into fully- formed being.

This sermon series will explore the way of Jesus through the lens of formation. After building a foundations of how narratives, practices, and community rhythms deepen us into new ways of being, we’ll turn to explore the classical disciplines that have opened Eastertide living throughout the ages, bringing these ancient tools into our modern setting. Each week will invite us into practical ways of inhabiting the Resurrection mystery and finding new creation already blooming among us.
