What happens after Resurrection Sunday—do we just go back to “normal?” Pastor Brent challenged us to stop living in the past and start walking in the victory that Jesus won for us. He also talks about how God can truly be the Lord of our lives, why spiritual nutrition matters, and how we’re called not just to talk about Jesus, but to become fruitful disciples who impact others. Real growth starts when you put your trust in God and let the Holy Spirit lead.

Key Take-aways:
Living in Resurrection Victory
The Resurrection isn’t just an event to be celebrated once a year—it’s a daily reality we are called to walk in. Pastor Brent urges us not to return to “life as normal” after Resurrection Sunday, but instead to embrace each new day as a gift, rejoicing in the ongoing victory Jesus won for us.
Becoming Good Soil
Our spiritual growth depends on the “nutrition” we receive, much like physical health does. Drawing from the parable of the sower, we’re challenged to assess what kind of soil we are—whether our hearts are hardened, rocky, choked by worries, or ready to yield fruit. By nourishing our spirits through praise, prayer, and God’s Word, we become people who bear lasting fruit for God’s kingdom.
Purposeful Action Through the Holy Spirit
After encountering the risen Christ, the disciples were tempted to remain in confusion and inaction. This message calls us not to stay “in the upper room” just talking about faith, but to allow the Holy Spirit to empower us for service. Each believer is uniquely gifted to serve—God calls us to step out, make disciples, and let Him use our lives to advance His kingdom.
