The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the pinnacle of human history—but it isn’t just a historical event to be studied; it is a victory to be shared. In this sermon, Dr. Jerry Shields concludes our look at the Gospel of Matthew by diving into the miraculous events of the first Easter morning.
If you have ever felt like you were living in the "darkness of Friday"—overwhelmed by hopelessness, fear, or the feeling that evil has the upper hand—this message is for you. Dr. Shields reminds us that the stone was rolled away not so Jesus could get out, but so that we could see in and realize that death truly has no sting.
In this sermon, we explore three ways we share in Christ's victory:
-
His Power: Discover why the empty tomb is proof that neither death nor evil could hold Him.
-
His Authority: Learn what it means to follow Jesus as a Shepherd who goes ahead of us, rather than a King who simply dictates to us.
-
His Mercy: Hear the beautiful truth of how Jesus claims us as "brothers" and "sisters," offering acceptance and reassurance even in the midst of our failures.
Whether you are a long-time believer or someone searching for hope in a chaotic world, this sermon is an invitation to "come and see" and then "go and tell" the Good News that changes everything.
