During the Easter Season, Pastor Brian will diverge from the Lectionary to preach on the post-Resurrection appearances of Jesus as recorded in the Gospels and book of Acts. The stories conclude with the Ascension on Day of Pentecost and coincide with those dates in the church calendar. These stories show the disciples had doubts and challenges in their faith despite seeing and interacting with the Risen Christ. In the challenging times we are living through, we can take comfort and draw strength from their journey.
