CURRENT SERMON SERIES
The resurrection of Jesus changed everything, the world would not be as it is today without this event. The response of Jesus’ followers to his resurrection should not be down played, their changed lives is one of several key pieces of evidence we can point to that the resurrection took place. Jesus’ disciples were changed, they acted and carried themselves differently, the resurrection changed the posture of His people.
When the risen Jesus stepped out of the tomb, He called His followers into a new way of living in the world. The way of Jesus followers is not passive; it reshapes our instincts, redirects our energy and reorients our bodies and hearts toward the Kingdom that has already begun to break in.
Throughout the New Testament, the earliest disciples respond to the risen Jesus not only with words, but with new attitudes, new postures, kneeling in awe, standing with courage, moving outward in mission. The ‘postures’ of the earliest followers of Jesus set the tone for all Jesus’ followers to follow. As Easter People, we learn to inhabit resurrection life with our whole selves, allowing the risen Christ to shape how we worship, pray, resist, persevere, and go.
This series explores three postures of the early believers of kneeling, standing and moving and how we are to posture ourselves both physically and spiritually in response to the reality that Jesus is alive. Each week invites us to adopt a posture that forms us into a people who live with hope, courage, justice, and Spirit-filled movement in the world.
