Easter at Journey: The Story from Genesis to the Empty Tomb In an Easter service at Journey, Jeremy welcomes attendees and online viewers, encourages newcomers to download the Journey app, and shares a church tradition of handing out Cadbury Eggs. He then traces the overarching biblical narrative—from creation’s original goodness, the fall and humanity’s shame and hiding, to God’s promises through Abraham, Israel’s slavery and deliverance, the cycle of drifting, and the longing for a king—highlighting that the problem is the human heart. He connects prophetic promises of a new heart and healing to Jesus’ incarnation, ministry, betrayal, and crucifixion, explaining “It is finished” as debt paid and the battle won. He culminates with the resurrection as new creation and hope, urging listeners to stop striving and hiding, trust Jesus, and respond personally to the empty tomb. 00:00 Welcome to Easter 00:52 Cadbury Egg Tradition 02:14 Why Easter Matters 04:56 In the Beginning 07:46 The Fall and Shame 10:50 God's Promise to Abraham 12:52 Where Is the Lamb 14:52 Enslaved in Egypt 17:25 Drifting From God 18:20 Everyone Did Right 19:37 A King Named David 20:24 David’s Broken Hero 21:42 Prophets Promise New Heart 23:12 Silence and Waiting Room 24:09 God Becomes Flesh 26:17 Follow Me Invitation 28:54 Claims Betrayal and Trial 30:47 The Cross Reframed 34:45 It Is Finished Meaning 36:48 Empty Tomb New Creation 39:08 Resurrection Hope Today 40:35 Restoration Promise Ahead 42:12 Choose Your Response 42:55 Closing Prayer
