Morning Service Live Stream

On this glorious Easter Sunday, the service celebrates the cornerstone of our faith: the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The message delivers a powerful defense of the resurrection from 1 Corinthians 15, laying out the irrefutable evidence that Christ is risen and exploring why this single event is the foundation of all Christian hope. The entire service, from the special music to the sermon, declares with confidence, "He is not here; He is risen!"

Service Breakdown

- Worship and Music: The service is filled with joyful celebration, featuring a special Easter musical presentation titled "Yes, I Believe," which tells the story of Christ's passion and victory. The congregation also joins in singing the timeless hymn, "Christ the Lord Is Risen Today."

- Children’s Corner: The children’s lesson tackles the question of who is responsible for Jesus' death. It explains that because we all sin, we are all responsible. The message beautifully highlights Jesus' incredible love, referencing Luke 23:34 where He prayed from the cross, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they are doing."

- The Message: The Easter sermon is a compelling defense of the resurrection based on 1 Corinthians 15:1-22. It presents three undeniable lines of evidence for this historical event: the testimony of the Old Testament Scriptures which predicted it, the testimony of hundreds of credible eyewitnesses who saw the risen Christ, and the logical conclusion that without the resurrection, our faith is futile and we are still in our sins.

Key Moments & Themes

- The Gospel Defined: The sermon begins by clearly defining the core of the gospel from Scripture: that Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose again on the third day, all according to the Scriptures.

- An Evidence-Based Faith: A central theme is that Christianity is not a blind leap in the dark. The message builds a powerful case that our faith rests on the historical, verifiable fact of the resurrection, attested to by prophecy and numerous eyewitnesses.

- The Non-Negotiable Hope: The message powerfully argues that the resurrection is not an optional part of Christianity—it is everything. If Christ is not risen, our preaching is empty, our faith is meaningless, and we have no hope of forgiveness or eternal life.

- A Matter of the Heart: While the evidence is overwhelming, the sermon concludes that the ultimate issue for belief is not in the head, but in the heart. True salvation comes when we stop just acknowledging the facts and surrender to the love of the risen Savior, entering into a personal relationship with Him.

Call to Action

The sermon closes with a heartfelt invitation to move beyond simply knowing the Easter story to knowing the risen Christ personally. It's a call to open your heart to His love, confess Him as Lord, and experience the life-changing power of the resurrection for yourself. The message is simple: the only thing that makes us right with God is a heart-to-heart connection with His risen Son, Jesus.
