Risen, Indeed! (No Other Easter Sermon) | Bryan Laughlin | Grimké Chapel

Easter is the one Sunday a year when people who never darken a church door might walk through yours—so what will you tell them? Preaching from Matthew 28, Bryan Laughlin strips Easter down to its single, unavoidable claim: a man named Jesus walked out of his own grave, and no one gets to stay neutral about it. He walks through the three ways people meet the empty tomb—fear, denial, and worship—and stacks up the evidence that makes the resurrection impossible to wave away. If your faith has gone familiar, or you've never quite settled what to do with the risen Christ, this message will press the question back onto you and leave you with something far steadier than a religious ritual.
