About this episode

The episode discusses how a community can remain united in grace and love after the excitement of Easter fades.

What holds a community together after the excitement fades and ordinary life returns? In the closing sermon of Eccentrics: Keeping It Real After Easter, we turn to Peter’s final vision of the church. Not polished or perfect people, but a community learning how to remain together in grace, peace, and genuine love. Drawing from 1 Peter 5, this message reflects on the kind of relationships that can survive disappointment, difference, and time. A church shaped not by performance or appearance, but by the steady practice of peace. Resurrection does not simply change individual lives. It creates a new kind of community. Part of the Eccentrics: Keeping It Real After Easter series. Sermon by Rev. Amos J. Disasa. Subscribe for weekly sermons from First Presbyterian Church of Dallas. fpcdallas.org
