Easter 2026: Called by Name
This Easter at Orchard Church, Pastor Assad Saif explores the profound and personal encounter between Mary Magdalene and the risen Jesus in John 20. We’ll explore the crushing weight of Mary’s grief—which initially blinded her to the supernatural presence of angels—to the life-changing moment Jesus calls her by name. The resurrection is a "new creation" in a garden, Jesus is the "Second Adam" who has come to undo the curse of death. Ultimately, Jesus meets us exactly where we are, offering a transformation that turns our mourning into a mission. We want to move beyond mere religious tradition to experience a Savior who knows us intimately and calls us to share His victory.
