Grove Road Evangelical Church

Why do Christians still celebrate Easter? After all, no educated person in this scientific age can possibly believe in life after death, let alone a man defeating death and coming back to life again!

There are many Christians who would agree with that view. It’s just a myth - a made up story. It might be a nice story, but it’s not true in any real-world, scientific sense. Then there are others who would say that the story was ‘true’, but not in any physical, real-world sense. It was a spiritual event - whatever they mean by that!

But what if the Easter story is not a myth? What if it is a true history of real-world events? There is no doubt that the earliest Christians believed it to be real in that sense.

A man, who was more than just a man, really died, put to death by public execution by the Roman Empire in or around 30AD. Three days later he really came back to life again and that too was witnessed by large numbers of people whose lives were radically changed by the impact of meeting Jesus again after seeing him die, after burying him. Not only did the impact of meeting the risen Jesus transform their lives, in due course it transformed the whole world - and continues to do so.

We would love you all to come and join us on Easter Sunday. You might even make the most amazing discovery of your life, that death is not the end if you put your faith in the one who has conquered death.

We meet on Sunday mornings at 11am. We look forward to seeing you, especially on Easter Sunday, April 9th
