Fire of Faith | Bishop Andy’s Easter Message 2026

“Because of Jesus’ death and resurrection, we can be set free. We can receive forgiveness and a fresh start.”

As we journey through Holy Week, Bishop Andy reflects on two very different moments in Peter, one of Jesus’ disciples, life – both taking place around a fire. Peter makes a mistake, but Jesus doesn’t condemn him, he restores him. The fire of failure becomes the fire of faith.
