RESURRECTION NOW!
An Easter Journey
Do you know that voice?
It seems that we human beings have evolved a society that leaves so many of us surviving and existing, but not truly living. It is well-documented that many people today feel empty, unfulfilled, and robbed of meaningful life. Many voices rightly remind us that life is difficult, and that we all struggle, get hurt, and face frustration. But many of us know a persistent voice within us whispering that it doesn’t have to be like this; that life can be meaningful, fulfilling, and vibrant, even in the difficulties of being human in an imperfect world.
If you know that nagging sense that life could be more, if you seek a life that is deeper, richer, and more alive than our society’s version, then Sacredise’s Liturgical and Devotional Guide, Resurrection Now!, is for you.

Week of 20 – 26 September 2026
THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK One of the ways that grace can be understood is as God’s undeserved generosity. They key in all our dealings with God is that word “undeserved”. It is easy to slip into thinking that health, wealth and happiness are a deserved reward from God given because we are particularly spiritual or “good”. It is just as easy to fall into judgement of those who are sickly, poor or suffering because we believe that their struggles are God’s judgement on some sin in their life. Although [...]

Proper 21A
27 September 2026 The Lectionary changes tack a little this week - at least from the perspective of the Gospel. While the continuous Old Testament readings continue to follow the Israelites in the desert (with a similar story to last week's, but focussed on water and thirst, rather than food and hunger), Matthew describes a moment of confrontation between Jesus and the religious leaders, in which two questions are raised - where Jesus' authority originates, and who is finding their way into God's Kingdom. The water image becomes a captivating [...]

Find The Resilience You Need
This guide for Lent and Holy Week explores ten qualities that can empower us to find the resilience we need. In addition, From Monday to Wednesday in Holy Week, Irrepressible explores three of Isaiah’s Servant Songs to find what resilience meant for the prophet and how it was manifest in the life of Jesus.
An Extraordinary Execution
Why Jesus’ Death Matters Here and Now
Based on the readings from the Gospel of John for Year B in the Revised Common Lectionary, AN EXTRAORDINARY EXECUTION explores some of the primary ways that Jesus’ crucifixion has been understood through Christian history and how they can be reinterpreted and applied to our lives in the 21st Century. This is not just a theological discussion around the cross. It is a challenge to respond more deeply and intentionally to Jesus’ call for us to take up our crosses and follow him. And it is an invitation to build our lives around the liberating truths that are so powerfully proclaimed in Jesus’ death.

Unquenchable Hope
An Easter Journey through the Revelation
John, the writer of the Revelation, was in solitary confinement when he received and wrote his vision. He had every reason to give up, but instead, he called his companions in Christ to cling to hope. He reminded them of the meaning and power of Christ’s resurrection and encouraged them to keep working to make God’s reign a reality in their lives.
