Welcome to Roseville Covenant Church!

Sometime in the late 6th century BC, a young Jewish priest and mystic had a vision: a valley full of skeletons (victims of a deadly conquest) lay before him and a voice asked him, "Can these bones live, o mortal?" The prophet replies, "only you know!"
(Ezekiel 37:1-3). 500 years later the first Christians believed God had an answer to the question when he raised Jesus from the dead, and then proclaimed that, "made like him, like him we rise" (Romans 6:5, Hymn #258). These bones can live, and they will!

This week we conclude our summer sermon series on the Apostles' Creed by reflecting on its closing lines, I Believe... in the resurrection of the body and the life everlasting. These words ask of us a leap of faith in a future unknown, but they also are the words that animate our Christian life here in the present. The promise of eternal life is not just a reward to enjoy at the end of the life, but the hope of resurrection can be the engine of our faith and love, now and beyond the grave.
