The Easter message is one that is life giving and, this year, we want to spend time reflecting on that and sharing it with others.
Below you’ll find resources, giveaways and other fun activities perfect for the Easter season. We have devotions and podcasts to help you delve deeper into the life-giving message of Easter, ideas on ways you can show others the power of this life-giving message and some fun activities to share special times with those around you.
For you have rescued me from death; you have kept my feet from slipping. So now I can walk in your presence, O God, in your life-giving light. – Proverbs 14:27

Easter messages from Sydney Christian leaders
In a world marked by doubt, despair and darkness, Easter hope offers the promise of a better future, a future in God’s hands, a future shaped by the light of an empty tomb. – Rev Stu Cameron
Richard Schwedes – NSW Assistant Bishop, Lutheran Church of Australia
Richard is also the minister at St Paul’s Lutheran, Darlinghurst. He says the cross that Jesus dies upon is not the end of God’s life-giving story. The resurrection points to an everyday hope we can hold to, into eternity.
Paul Bartlett – State President, ACC NSW and ACT
Paul says that Jesus’ unique blend of divine and human can powerfully shape our everyday lives – not only on the Easter long weekend.
David Maher – Presbyterian Church NSW
David says the simple truths of Easter are not only life giving, but they are also life changing. He suggests that beyond the Easter long weekend our lives can be transformed by the hope, joy and example of Jesus.
Phil Dooley – Global Senior Pastor, Hillsong
Phil says Easter is a vivid reminder of what our lives should be anchored in, every day. Even in the face of ongoing allegations about Hillsong leadership and governance issues, Phil said the focus needs to be on the Saviour who wants to bring everlasting life to you – Jesus.
Kanishka Raffel – Sydney Anglican Archbishop
Kanishka says the physical resurrection of Jesus offers real, eternal peace, hope and joy.
Join the Hopeland Lifeblood team this Easter and give life in a very practical way
This Easter, we’re joining with other faith-based Lifeblood teams for the United by Faith Blood Drive. The need for blood never stops and each donation has the potential to save up to three lives!
Life depends on blood and, each year, Hope 103.2 likes to show our support for the worthy Lifeblood cause by encouraging our community of listeners, families and friends across Sydney to donate blood and plasma. We’ve registered Hopeland as a Lifeblood Team – an initiative which unites teams across Australia to give life by giving blood or plasma.
