ACCESS THE SERIES | $49Easter is not the end of the story. It is the sending.
Jesus rose from the dead and then did something remarkable, he sent ordinary people into extraordinary mission. “As the Father has sent me, so I send you” (John 20:21).
Go is a five-week Easter message series designed to help your parish move from inspiration to activation. Through aligned preaching and small group discussion guides, this series invites parishioners to discover significance through service and take a concrete step into ministry.
If you are looking to increase volunteers, align your preaching with ministry growth, and build a culture where more people contribute than consume, this series was built for you.Â
Why this Series was Designed
This is not simply a teaching series on service, it is an intentional activation series for the Easter season.
Through five weeks of lectionary-based preaching and aligned small group conversations, Go helps your parish:
- Connect Easter to everyday mission
- Move people from fear to purpose
- Increase volunteer engagement
- Reinforce a culture of contribution
- Align the pulpit with ministry sign-ups
When preaching and small groups are unified around a clear call to serve, momentum builds. Clarity builds. Commitment grows.
What's included:
This package equips your team with everything needed to preach, reflect, and step out of the pews this Easter season.
You’ll receive:
-
5 full homily manuscripts written to be customized for your parish, your pastor’s voice, and your local culture
-
Small group leader guides & participant questions for each week, to help your parishioners discuss together how they can strengthen their participation as a community
-
Daily devotionals to help parishioners stay engaged beyond Sunday
All content is delivered immediately after purchase and is available as editable Word documents and PDFs that you can download, save, and adapt freely.
Designed to Be Customized for Your Parish
These homilies are written as full manuscripts, not rigid scripts.
They are meant to be:
- Edited
- Adapted
- Contextualized
- Preached in your own tone and pastoral voice
We encourage pastors and preaching teams to take these messages and shape them for their people - their stories, their struggles, and their parish culture.

Why This Matters for Your Parish
Many pastors want more volunteers.
But few parishes preach toward that outcome with clarity and alignment.  When the message from the pulpit is reinforced in small groups and conversations throughout the week, it shapes culture. It clarifies expectations. It builds momentum.
Volunteering stops feeling like filling slots and starts feeling like participation in the Resurrection mission of Jesus.
If you are planning a ministry fair, volunteer recruitment push, or simply want to strengthen engagement after Easter, this series gives you a biblical and pastoral pathway to do it well.
"The pulpit in the church serves like the helm in a ship. It sets a direction. It gives guidance. It brings cohesiveness to all the ministries to work together toward the same destination.
Â
And so the material that the Rebuilt library provides for us is very useful — not only the homily series but also the material for small faith groups that complements it. We don't have to reinvent the wheel, we use what Rebuilt already provides us."
~ Fr. William Rosario
Your parish's journey to serving
GO.
Jesus came to serve, bring the goodness and grace of God’s kingdom from heaven to earth. Throughout his life, he served others most practically through his preaching and teaching and most spectacularly in his healings and miracle works. In his ultimate act of service, he laid down his life on the Cross and rose from the dead, once and for all breaking the power of sin and death.
Easter celebrates Jesus’ example of selfless and life-giving service, calling each of us to serve in this same way.
Through the course of this series we’ll look at the new and more successful life we can live in the light of Jesus’ Resurrection, who it calls us to be and what it calls us to do.
