Today the elders share a message to the entire congregation that looks back on 2025 and looks ahead to 2026 which includes connecting to each other, our multitude of ministries, and above all to God. Together we make up the net - imagine a fisherman's net - bound strong together with no worn places, no holes or gaps, and strong enough to lift any load God would have us to hold.

Having completed His earthly ministry and yielding to the will of God, Jesus willingly offered Himself as the atoning sacrifice that would pay the penalty of sin once and for all. As His disciples battled between what they saw and what they had been told, Mary Magdalene and others went to His burial site to find an angel of the Lord, shining, and sitting over the entrance of the open tomb informing her, “He is risen!” With that reality, Jesus’ followers were told to get the word out and make more disciples.

Matthew 28:1-20

The term King and Kingdom is a consistent message and theme throughout Matthew. Jesus was called King at His birth and His death. Everything in our text has been pointing to this moment. In our text, we can learn from Simon, the crowd, creation, and the criminals about how we respond to the King on the cross. The ironies of the cross also teach us the way of the Kingdom.
