About the show
Roswell Presbyterian Church was established in 1839 and is a congregation of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) within the Presbytery of Greater Atlanta. Since our formation, we have been a church dedicated to reaching out in love and service to the community and the world. We are a congregation with deep historic roots, it is because of the dedication and commitment of those who preceded us that we are able to be a vibrant community today.

Episode 54: Searching for Resurrection (1 Corinthians 15:20-26)
1 March 2020 | Season 10 | 20 mins 27 secs
Today is the first Sunday of Lent. Lent is a season of the Christian year when we acknowledge that we have all sinned and fallen short of God’s glory. Through confession and repentance, we will express our utter reliance on God’s saving grace. Over the next 40 days, we invite you to grow in your relationship with God and one another.
Through our Lenten sermon series, Searching for Resurrection, we hope to aid you in this process. Over the next six Sundays, we will look at the stories of six figures in the final days leading up to Jesus’ death. Through their lives, we look to discover how the resurrection of Christ impacts our own lives. Today, though, is more of an introductory sermon setting the stage for the coming weeks. I look forward to searching for resurrection with you!
