Lazarus, Come Out
New Hope on the Creeks

10a at our Sand Creek Site
In today’s gospel Jesus reveals his power over death by raising Lazarus from the dead. The prophet Ezekiel prophesies God breathing new life into dry bones. To those in exile or living in the shadows of death, these stories proclaim God’s promise of resurrection. In baptism we die with Christ that we might also be raised with him to new life. At the Easter Vigil we will welcome the newly baptized as we remember God’s unfailing promise in our baptism.
Readings and Psalm
The dry bones of Israel brought to life
Psalm 130
Psalm 130
I wait for you, O Lord; in your word is my hope. (Ps. 130:5)

At last, God's patience with Israel is spent, and the northern kingdom falls to the Assyrian Empire, never to rise again. Judah illustrates what happens when God's people allow him to be their ally. Even the mightiet empire fall back before him! In Isaiah's prophecy, we see the clearest witness to the coming Messiah.
- The Fall of Israel: 2nd Kings 17
- Taking a Stand: 2nd Kings 18-19
- A Prophet Called Out: Isaiah 6

Authentic Worship
At New Hope, worship in the name and power of the Holy Trinity is central to everything. As we come we declare that there is a deeper side of life sometimes ignored by our culture. We make time to step away from the hectic pace of life to worship, recognizing God’s greater goodness and our need to come faithfully into the presence of God. Here, we respond with our acts of worship to this amazing grace.

Teaching from the Bible
We believe that practical, relevant teaching is the catalyst for transformation in an individual's life. Scripture is inspired by God the Father, and as we reflect on God's word through the prism of Jesus Christ, we are transformed through the power of the Holy Spirit into God's likeness. It is a lifelong journey, and ultimately we rest in God's grace.
