In the wake of Easter’s celebration, a time when we rejoice in Christ’s ultimate victory over death, we’re often left pondering the question, “Now what?” How do we live in the triumph granted to us through Jesus? In this message, Pastor Brent shares about how a comment about his mother’s cooking led to a larger revelation about love, disappointment, and the condition of our hearts. In this sermon, we explore the importance of setting our sights “on things above,” and the impact of focusing our hearts and minds on Jesus rather than the earthly disappointments that can bog us down. Furthermore, Pastor addresses the pitfalls of isolation and the necessity of community, especially within the church. Drawing from the book of Acts, we see the church’s early struggles and the wisdom found in community support and prayer.
