I was lost. I was ashamed. I was far from God.

But now, because of Jesus—I am found. I am forgiven. I am new.

In this Easter message, Pastor Jonathan Schaeffer walks us through the life-changing power of the resurrection. Drawing from Matthew 28 and the parable of the prodigal son in Luke 15, we see how Jesus invites each of us into a new identity—one rooted not in our past but in His victory.

Whether your “I was” story is heavy with shame or simply stuck in routine, this message reminds us that Jesus sees us, runs toward us, and offers us a brand-new “I am.”

Who is Jesus to you?

This week’s message explores Jesus’ bold claims about His identity—and what it means for our everyday lives. From Teacher to Lord to the very image of God, Jesus didn’t leave room for us to settle for a surface-level view. He invites us into a relationship where we don’t just admire Him—we follow Him.

You’ll be challenged to reflect on your response to Jesus’ question: “Who do you say I am?” and to consider how your answer shapes your worship, obedience, and identity.

📖 Scripture Highlights:
Matthew 16:15-16 | John 14:6–11 | Luke 9:23–24 | Colossians 1:15–17

🧠 Big ideas:
 • Jesus isn’t just a figure in history—He is God.
 • His identity invites a response: reflection, surrender, and commitment.
 • Through Him, we experience the Father’s love and guidance.

✨ Whether you’re exploring faith or looking to deepen your walk with Jesus, this message will help you take the next step.

What does it really mean to finish well in your faith? In this episode, Pastor Gregg challenges us to look at the “unfinished business” in our spiritual lives and invites us to know God deeply, trust Him fully, and live in the victory Jesus already won for us. Whether you’re just starting your journey or have been following Jesus for years, this message will encourage you to keep running the race with purpose—and let God lead every step of the way.

Where do you make space for grace in your life? On Youth Sunday, Pastor Joe shares how unexpected moments—like surprise tickets to a Duke vs. UNC game—can reveal how God works behind the scenes.

Looking at John 4, we follow Jesus’ encounter with the Samaritan woman at the well and how it flips cultural expectations. Pastor Joe encourages us to live vulnerably, listen to the Spirit’s nudges, and boldly share our faith. Grace starts with one person and often transforms whole communities.
