Join us as we witness a moment of tension between power and belonging. In a public attempt to trap Jesus, religious leaders ask whether it’s right to pay taxes to Caesar. They expect Jesus to choose between loyalty to God and loyalty to empire, but Jesus reframes the entire question. He points to Caesar’s image on a coin and says, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and give to God what is God’s.” This moment helps us begin to see how the world sometimes tries to tell us who to follow by what we have, how we act, or what others say about us. Jesus teaches that our real identity isn’t something determined by others—it’s something we receive. We belong to God.

Join us as Easter begins in the dark. Mary Magdalene comes to the tomb expecting to grieve and tend to what was lost, not expecting joy. She stays when others leave, holding space for sorrow. It is in her faithful presence that resurrection first appears. When Jesus speaks her name, it is not dramatic or loud. It is relational, tender, and deeply personal. In that moment, Mary becomes the first witness of the resurrection—not through
power or spectacle, but through recognition of a love that cannot stay buried. This moment invites us to discover that Easter is not just about happy endings—it’s about love that never gives up.
