Jesus Didn't Come to Keep the Peace

What if the deepest problem isn't your worst habits or biggest failures — but your fear of death? And what if that fear is quietly behind almost every way we hurt ourselves and each other? In this Easter sermon, Pastor Toneta Landisina draws on the story of Lazarus to reframe resurrection as liberation rather than sentimentality. She unpacks why scapegoating holds entire societies hostage, why "we don't need a them to make an us," and what it looks like to walk out of a tomb while the grave clothes are still on. Whether you're a longtime churchgoer or someone religion has hurt, this one's for you.
