Defiant Hope: Easter in an Uncertain World | Easter Sermon 2025 | The Rev. Liz Costello

Alleluia! Christ is risen! In this radiant Easter sermon, the Rev. Liz Costello invites us into the heart of Easter hope—fierce, defiant, and deeply needed in today’s world of uncertainty. Drawing from scripture, real-life disappointments, and the enduring witness of figures like Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Mother Liz preaches a resurrection hope that doesn’t deny struggle, but rises in the midst of it. Whether your confidence has been shaken by the markets, elections, illness, or fear, this Easter message is an anchor in the storm. Come be reminded that the tomb is empty, death is defeated, and hope is not a naïve feeling—it is a faithful practice rooted in the risen Christ. This is a sermon for anyone who needs to remember: we are not at the end of the story. We’re living in the middle of God’s redeeming love.
