Open Door Stories | Celebrating Resurrection!

Jesus is risen!
He is risen indeed!

After journeying through Lent and Holy Week,
we celebrated resurrection and
the promise, hope, and life found in Jesus!

As the sun rose over Mt. Diablo, we remembered:

 If resurrection is true, then everything must change.

Our lives and efforts no longer spin toward the inevitability of death.
 
Our lives and efforts spin toward God’s kingdom here on earth as it is in heaven!

As the sun set over the East Bay, we celebrated:

Resurrection invites us into an imagination for our life and the life of the world that is not controlled by death.

Resurrection is far more than a promise for a better life after we die.

Resurrection is an invitation to participate in life that is stronger than death.

Jesus is risen!
He is risen indeed!

And we are free!
We are free indeed!
