Creation Covenant Redemption

Dear church,

During the Easter season, many congregations are accustomed to hearing readings from Acts in place of the Old Testament. But more recent liturgical reflection has encouraged the church not to lose the rich witness of the Hebrew Scriptures during these weeks. Because the theology of resurrection is deeply rooted in God’s work of creation, covenant, and redemption, hearing these readings in Easter helps deepen the church’s proclamation of new life. These Old Testament readings are chosen to stand alongside the Gospel, not as predictions to be “fulfilled,” but as scriptures that can shed light on the risen Christ and the living hope of Easter. Listen in!

See you in worship,
Pastor Kyle
