Easter Series: 'Hope In the Shadows'
Life can often feel like a series of highs and lows — moments of joy and clarity, but also seasons of confusion, difficulty, and pain. In these darker times, when we feel overshadowed by sorrow, fear, or uncertainty, it can be hard to find our way. Yet, Scripture reminds us that even when we feel like we are ‘living in the shadows’, we are not alone God’s presence, promises, and purposes remain steadfast, even in the midst of our struggles.
As Holy Week begins this weekend, also known as the Passion Week of Christ we will explore what it meant for people to live in the shadows during the final week of Christ’s like on earth. The people of Jerusalem were waiting for a king — but perhaps not the kind of king that was arriving. The hope they placed in Jesus was real, but it was also shaped by their expectations and understanding of what the Messiah would be.
Join us this Palm Sunday, as we will take a deeper look at Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem. A day filled with joy, anticipation, and yes even hope. ‘The Hope of the Arriving King’ who arrived not only then but still does today.
