Pastor Brent reminds why we celebrate Resurrection Day not just once a year, but every single day. This message focuses on the victory, hope, and purpose we find in Jesus Christ’s resurrection—a truth that impacts our daily lives, relationships, and outlook.

Key takeaways:

• Victory Over Barriers: We often allow “stones” like unforgiveness, guilt, doubt, and pride to block our view of Christ’s victory, both in life and in the workplace. Removing these obstacles leads to greater freedom and purpose.
• Joy That Transcends Circumstances: True joy isn’t dependent on our challenges but is rooted in the resurrection—empowering us to walk through difficult seasons and losses with hope and resilience.
• Purpose in Sharing Good News: The resurrection calls and equips us to move forward, filled with the Holy Spirit, sharing hope and victory with our families, colleagues, and communities.

In this week’s sermon, Pastor Brent Weide invited us to pause in the busyness of life and really ask ourselves: Have we had a true encounter with Jesus—or are we just “going through the motions”?

Drawing from the familiar Christmas story in Luke 2, Pastor Brent Weide reminded us how the shepherds were simply doing their daily work when everything changed. The message: God meets us in our everyday, often mundane moments, and calls us to a real, transforming relationship with Him.

Key Takeaways:

• It’s Easy to Miss the Miracle
  Like the religious leaders in Jesus’ day, we can get so caught up in “church stuff” that we miss an authentic encounter with Him.
• A Changed Life Looks Different
  When the shepherds and the disciples encountered Jesus, they left their jobs, their plans, and ran toward something greater. As Pastor Brent Weide challenged: Have you left your “fields” yet? Or is Jesus still just part of your schedule?
• True Encounter Leads to Worship and Joy
  Look at the woman with the alabaster jar—her encounter with Jesus led her to pure, unashamed worship, pouring out everything she had in gratitude.
• We’re Called to Encourage Each Other
  The shepherds encouraged one another to seek Jesus. Who can you invite along? Who needs your encouragement this Christmas season?

In this message, Pastor Brent explores Palm Sunday, untying the donkeys in our lives, and setting the captive free through the love of Jesus Christ. He discusses the danger of selfishness and the pursuit of human recognition, and the importance of servanthood and doing good for God’s glory alone. The great commission calls us not to stand still, but to actively make disciples, using everything at our disposal for the Lord’s work. Take tangible steps in your faith, and spread the good news. Embrace a heart of praise and thanksgiving, singing Hosanna in the highest.  Let’s go out there and live a life that’s fulfilling the mission.

Pastor Brent shared a story of how he pointed out a robin to his sons, only for them to struggle to see it among the trees.  This parallels the way we sometimes struggle to truly see Jesus in our lives. It’s a powerful reminder of how we can miss the beauty and majesty of Christ, and instead, only see the “trees”—the cross, the Easter traditions, and the religious rituals.

As we approach the Easter season, Pastor Brent challenges us not to miss Christ but to see Him clearly for who He is—the Messiah, the King of Kings, the Alpha and Omega, our Savior, and Redeemer. Just like the blind man in the Bible who initially saw people as trees, we, too, are encouraged to seek true clarity and understanding of Christ’s presence in our lives.

This message is a timely reminder to seek and recognize Jesus in our lives, not just during the Easter celebrations, but every day. Let’s not let our sight be clouded by distractions or traditions, but instead, let’s focus on truly seeing Jesus and His victory on the cross and resurrection day.
