He is risen indeed!

Acts 10:34-43 The radical social practice of table fellowship: showing us how broad is God’s desire for communion with people. The gospel erases the boundary lines we otherwise see as normal and even critical for our survival. 

Psalm 118:1-2, 14-24 God is greater than empire: the rejected stone has become the chief. And this is what makes people thankful.
