April 26, 2026. Fourth Sunday of Easter. Year A.
Drawing on Acts 2:42-47, Psalm 23, and John 10:1-10, this sermon describes the gifts and joys of abundant life in Christ. The Acts text helps us see in practical terms what Jesus in John calls “abundant life.” The Psalm’s cup overflowing enriches the pairing of Acts and John, because the Greek for abundant conveys superabundance, excess, more than necessary. Jesus has come to bring us just this kind of overflowing life that really is life—life brimming with devotion, prayer, communion, sharing, generosity, and growth.
