He Is Risen (9:30, 4/20/2025)

Apr 20, 2025    Pastor Curtis Olsen

This Easter message invites us to experience the transformative power of Christ's resurrection in our daily lives. The central story from Luke 24:1-12 recounts the women discovering the empty tomb and encountering heavenly messengers. This narrative challenges us to stop seeking the living among the dead – a powerful metaphor for breaking free from unhealthy habits, addictions, or relationships that no longer serve us. The sermon emphasizes that resurrection power isn't just a historical event, but a present reality available to each of us. It encourages us to remember Jesus' teachings and promises, allowing that remembrance to fuel our faith and break us out of the spiritual 'tombs' we often create for ourselves. This message is deeply relevant to our personal struggles, reminding us that God's power can overcome even death, and therefore can surely help us triumph over our daily challenges.
