Jan. 27, 2023

Hello, Village family, and a good Friday to you. I hope all is going well.

So we just celebrated a few weeks ago on January 1st, the start of the new year and this past weekend, for those of us who are Asian and Asian American, many of us celebrated the lunar new year. For me, my faith new year always comes on Easter morning. On Easter morning, that's sort of the turning point of a new year for me because we celebrate the fact that Jesus Christ is risen from the dead. When Jesus Christ rose from the dead, we experienced a new way of being because death no longer got the last word. Jesus triumphed over death. And that means you and I can celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the resurrection for us all. 

So I'm dressed this way because in a couple of hours we'll gather in our sanctuary to do two things: we're gonna celebrate a life and we're gonna give witness to the resurrection for Gloria Jean Reed, who was a deacon in our church, longtime usher, volunteered as a receptionist at our south reception desk. We can do those things; we can celebrate Gloria's life and we can have a service of witness to the resurrection because of Easter, because Jesus triumphed over death.

So we're gonna explore this Sunday of what it means to follow a God and a Savior and a Spirit that is triumphed over death. We're gonna explore what it means when Jesus says, "I am the resurrection and the life." I look forward to seeing you on Sunday. Very, very grateful for you. And once again, go Chiefs! Lord be with you.

​—Rodger
