Connected: Easter Gospel Worship Series

Connected. A Worship Series Based on the Gospels for the Season of Easter

You are connected because of Jesus. You are connected to his resurrection, him as the Good Shepherd, his word, his love, each other, and more! If you haven’t been connected to church much over the last year, perhaps now is a great time to reconnect, as God connects us to so many blessings.

For a couple days, it looked like everything had fallen apart. Their Savior had died. They might be next. But Easter morning changed everything. Christ appeared to his disciples, resurrected, fully alive! This Easter season, we will look back on the words of Jesus from the Easter Gospel lessons. There we will find a connection that cannot be broken. Through the resurrection of Christ we are connected to true peace that drives out doubt. Through the Holy Spirit, we can study the scriptures together and see the heart of God and his plans for us. We are safe in Christ’s flock. He is the Good Shepherd, and we love to gather to listen to his voice. Jesus urges us to stay connected to vine where we will produce fruits of faith. Jesus is more than just our God or our Savior, he is our friend. He connects us to himself and each other with his love. Even though we don’t see him anymore. We are still connected with Christ. Connected and protected by his power and his word.

At St. Paul’s, we plan to also use this worship series as an opportunity to encourage each other to stay connected to Christ through regular use of the word and sacraments. We’ll see all kinds of blessings as we experience the connecting power of our risen Savior.
