Drawing from the Emmaus Road encounter in Luke 24:13–32, this sermon follows two disciples whose hope had “had a funeral” — walking away from Jerusalem with the saddest words in Scripture on their lips: “we had hoped.” Through three movements — When Your Hope Has a Funeral, The Stranger Who Knows Your Name, and Hearts Set Ablaze — the message traces how Jesus draws near to the brokenhearted in their walking-away moments, opens the Scriptures, and breaks bread at the table until eyes are opened and hearts begin to burn again. Pastor Charles invites listeners stuck between Friday’s loss and Sunday’s promise to invite the risen Christ to stay — and to discover that prayer, the Word, and communion become the fire that turns heartbreak into holy heartburn, sending us back into the world with renewed purpose, passion, and resurrection faith.
