Sunday Church is all about what began on that first Easter Sunday.
The stories told by the Gospels reveal how Jesus —through His death and resurrection— became King, flipping everything on its head.
These events opened a new reality for us: Heaven came to Earth. The Kingdom of God invaded the kingdom of men —challenging the wisdom of this world and sparking a new revolution with its upside-down values.
At the heart of this revolution is the gift of salvation —a gift of grace, not earned by works, but freely given through faith in Jesus.
And for those who believe in Him, the invitation is to step into the new life and new hope that is for both today and the future. Jesus‘s victory on that first Easter Sunday is what He made possible for us today —resurrection in the now and not yet— for both humanity and creation at large.
Nevertheless, we often forget that we live in a time and a world where Jesus is risen, where He is already Lord and King, and where new creation has begun and will be fully completed at His return. While the second coming will fulfil His work, it had certainly begun.
Here is where we find ourselves today, in the in-between, in the now and not yet. A time when the reality of the Kingdom of God continues to spread in the world through us, His Church. This is the story Luke writes about in his book, Acts.
In Acts 1, we see how Heaven and Earth came together in Jesus's resurrected physical body. This union is the very definition of Temple —the place where God’s presence dwells on Earth. Then, in a stunning moment in Acts 2, we see Heaven rushing down to fill Jesus's disciples with the Holy Spirit. Now, both Jesus and His disciples are the new temple, a place where God and humanity, Heaven and Earth, come together.
At Sunday Church, we believe we are to carry on with the kingdom work that Jesus in the Gospels, and the early Church in the book of Acts began, sharing the good news—in both word and deed —that Jesus is the world‘s new King and that His Kingdom is one ruled by love and truth.
Our prayer is to see followers of Jesus awakening as they find their place within Jesus’ story and mission. Our hope is to see people becoming Sunday People —Resurrection People—returning to faithfully loving Jesus, to the joy of life together, and to living under biblical truth, and to see them stepping into the Sunday life —the Resurrection life— empowered by the Holy Spirit to be people of love and peace, of joy and good news, of faithfulness and humility, of generosity and hospitality —bringing life, beauty, celebration, justice, and compassion to a world in need.
Sunday people love those around them sincerely, serve selflessly, and bring glimpses of eternity to this world, all while living under the present reality that Jesus is the world’s true Lord.
We invite you to join us on this life-long pilgrimage —becoming Sunday people together.
