The resurrection of Jesus is the most pivotal event in human history. It’s not just about the empty tomb—it’s about a living encounter with Christ that redeems, restores, and gives us eternal hope. Our worth isn’t defined by our past or good deeds, but by the grace freely given through faith in Jesus. If you’re ready for true freedom and purpose, it starts with meeting the risen Savior. Let’s celebrate victory and embrace the life-changing power of the resurrection!

Key Takeaways:
It’s Not the Tomb—It’s the Encounter:
The empty tomb didn’t convince the first disciples; their lives changed when they encountered the resurrected Jesus. Pastor Brent challenges us: Are we going through the motions, or truly meeting our Savior?
We are Redeemed, Restored, Released:
Because Christ is risen, He gives us:
-
- Release from guilt and shame—No sin or past mistake defines you. “Only God has the power to release us from our shame, guilt, and sin.”
- Restoration to right standing—You’re not just forgiven; you’re a beloved son or daughter of the King!
- The promise of eternity—John 3:16 remains true: “Whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
It’s All About Grace:
Pastor Brent encourages us to memorize Ephesians 2:8-9—salvation is by grace through faith, not by works. “You’re saved because of what Christ did for you on the cross.”
