The Grinch Stole Christmas. What about Easter?

The Grinch who stole Christmas is not usually considered an Easter story, but in this sermon, Pastor Sarah uses the tale of Grinch to describe the miracle of Easter.

Just like the Grinch was surprised to find out he hadn’t ruined Christmas, everyone involved in the crucifixion was surprised to find out that God’s love was more powerful than sin, more powerful even than death. Even Jesus’ closest disciples doubted God’s power. And so do we. But the good news of Easter is that resurrection doesn’t depend on us. God acted to raise Jesus from the dead.

What does depend on us? Sharing the good news so that all the world can know! Christ is Risen Indeed Alleluia!

Our Bible reading is from the Book of Luke, Chapter 24
