Easter at Open Door✝️
Join us this Easter as we celebrate The Work of God!
Discover how God revealed Christ at appointed times so that we might believe and have life in His name.
The Work Of God
Our Easter theme, “The Work of God”, is rooted in John 6:29 (NKJV): "Jesus answered and said to them, ‘This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.’” Throughout Scripture, we see God’s perfect timing in revealing Christ—first to individuals, then to the world.
This Easter, we invite you to journey with us through four key moments where Jesus was presented, leading to His resurrection. Each service is designed to help us see the wonderful works of God and strengthen our faith in Christ!

Tetelestai
I am not ready to say it is finished,
To see His earthly presence fade,
But He said so—
Tetelestai!
It is finished.
The sky grew dark, the veil was torn,
The weight of sin upon Him lay,
Yet love endured through blood and thorn,
And His mercy made our way.
I am not ready to say it is finished,
To see His hands now still and torn,
But He said so—
Tetelestai!
It is finished.
The grave was sealed, the stone stood firm,
Hope seemed buried deep inside,
But in the silence of the tomb,
The Lord’s promises have not died.
I am not ready to say it is finished,
To see His arms stretched out,
But He said so—
Tetelestai!
It is finished.
Then light arose, the dawn declared,
The chains of death were cast away,
The risen Christ, no longer bound,
Stepped forth to life that day.
I am not ready to say it is finished,
His broken body so still.
But He said so—
Tetelestai!
It is finished.
He lives! He lives, His Spirit near,
Within each heart that dares believe,
The empty grave forever speaks,
Eternal life is here.
