Speaker: Pastor Matt Troyer

In this week's message, Pastor Matt unpacks the varied and deeply personal reactions to the resurrection of Jesus—a central event in Christian faith. He draws from Scripture to show how different people responded to this miraculous moment, each representing a different place on the spectrum of belief.

• Mary Magdalene responded with joy and recognition, a powerful picture of love and faith.
• The soldiers and religious leaders rejected the truth, choosing resistance and denial even in the face of evidence.
• The disciples displayed slow and evolving belief, showing that faith often develops over time.
• Thomas, famously doubting, mirrors the common human struggle of needing proof before belief.
• Pastor Matt cautions against seeking faith solely on our own terms, which can create barriers to fully embracing belief.

Throughout, he emphasizes that the resurrection demands a personal response. It’s not just a historical claim—it's an invitation to transformation. God’s love is woven throughout the narrative, underscoring that faith can change anyone, no matter where they start.

In this week's message, Pastor Matt Troyer unpacks Jesus’ teachings on money and generosity, focusing on how our relationship with money reveals deeper matters of the heart. Using the story of the widow’s offering, he challenges listeners to rethink giving—not by the amount, but by the sacrifice behind it. Pastor Matt explores how greed can subtly take root and calls believers to live as stewards, not owners, of God’s resources. Listeners are encouraged to trust God’s provision, embrace radical generosity, and take practical steps to grow in faith. True generosity, he reminds us, flows from dependence on God and reflects spiritual maturity.
