In this message Pastor Wayne teaches from John 20 and reveals how this story leads us from deep darkness to the breathtaking light of Jesus’ resurrection—and why that changes everything. You’ll see how each encounter with the risen Christ moves people from fear, confusion, and doubt into trust, peace, and a clear calling. You’ll learn what real “eirene” peace means, how the Holy Spirit empowers us, and why the resurrection is the true end of the story. Ultimately, this sermon shows how we’re invited to believe, be transformed, and go in Jesus’ name.

Everyone has bad days—but Jesus had the worst one ever. In John 19, we see Him face rejection, pain, and death, yet still show incredible courage and love. This message reminds us that even on our hardest days, we can find peace and strength by trusting God’s plan. What looked like Jesus’ worst day turned out to be the best day for all of us.

In John 18, we see a series of powerful choices—Peter denies Jesus, Annas seeks control, Pilate shrugs off truth, and the crowd chooses a murderer over the Messiah. Only Jesus chooses rightly, willingly giving Himself to fulfill God’s plan. Pastor Wayne Braudrick shows how these moments reveal our own daily choices between pride and surrender. Using passages from John 18 and 1 Peter 4, he reminds us not to act as our own judge of right and wrong but instead to trust God’s truth. In a world full of noise and moral confusion, this message calls us to choose Jesus. Because real freedom comes when we let Him lead.
