April 20, 2025 - Easter Sunday

Tired of carrying the weight of the world? This Easter sermon meets you in the mess. Join us as we unpack Luke’s gritty resurrection account—where grief-stricken women trek to a tomb with spices in hand, only to have their ‘nonsense’ story of an empty grave change everything. In a culture that dismisses hope as wishful thinking, Easter flips the script: What if the burdens we clutch—guilt, fear, the pressure to fix life—are already obsolete? From the disciples’ skepticism to Peter’s curious sprint to the tomb, we’re reminded that resurrection isn’t about certainty… it’s aboutcourage. Perfect for the doubters, the grievers, and anyone exhausted by Lent’s long haul, this message invites you to lay down your ‘spices’ and embrace a love that refuses to stay buried. Spoiler alert: Death loses. Every. Single. Time. Come as you are—and leave lighter. Christ is risen, and so isyour hope."
