Pastor Luke Herche preaches on John 20:19–23, John's account of the resurrection of Jesus, showing that fear keeps us locked up and hidden away...but, Christ is risen from the dead. Because of this we can know his peace, receive his power, and proclaim forgiveness in his name.

Part of a series on The Gospel of John.

Want to go deeper? Take some time to reflect on the sermon with the following questions:

Reread John 20:19–23. What are some things that you/people are afraid of?

What are some ways people generally respond to fear? What are some ways it hinders us from living the life God calls us to?

How does the resurrection meet us in our fear? How does it undermine the very idea of fear? How does the resurrection enable us to move out in love even when we are afraid?

What can you do with your fear now, in light of the resurrection?
