Easter is not just about Jesus' resurrection, it's about ours as well! Drawing from Matthew 28 and 1 Corinthians 15, this message highlights how the cross wasn’t chaos but divine choreography, how the resurrection serves as the receipt for our redemption, and how Jesus’ victory over sin, sorrow, and death means the grave no longer holds power over those who believe. It ends with a powerful call to live as resurrection people—bold, free, purposeful, and filled with confident hope that, because the tomb is empty, full life is possible.

Part 3 - "The Grave Lost Its Grip" on 4.20.25

The cross looked like a loss, but it was a divine rescue mission. The price was paid at Calvary, and the resurrection was the receipt, proving the debt was satisfied. In the finished work of Jesus, humanity’s greatest problems—sin, sorrow, and death—were fully addressed. In Him, we see that God’s love for the sinner runs deeper than His hatred of sin.

Part 2 - "The Death of Death" on 4.13.25

Luke 23 & Romans 5

We find in scripture that not only does God give life, He is life. Yet early in humanity’s story, one man opened the door and sinned walked in. Everywhere sin goes, death grows. Because we have all inherited Adam’s sin nature, we face three universal problems: sin, sorrow, and death.

Is the Holy Spirit a person, or a force? What does the Holy Spirit do? What is the church? Why does the Apostles Creed say "we believe in the Holy Catholic Church?"
