Scripture References: Luke 8:26-39
From Series: "Return to the Garden"
What we believed to have been dead has been revealed to be alive. Like a garden lying dormant, new growth has begun and something wonderful is emerging. Like a bud bursting into a blossom, a new story is unfolding, right before our very eyes. Throughout the Easter season, this worship series explores themes of renewal, reconciliation, and resurrection, echoing the hope of Jesus’ triumph over destruction and death. Through the scriptures we’ll share, the music we’ll listen to and sing, and as the community comes to life, we’ll rediscover our identities as cherished children of God and stewards of creation. As Easter blossoms into Pentecost, let’s be empowered by the Holy Spirit, embarking on a mission to cultivate God's kingdom here on earth.
