A King Unlike Any Other - Pastor Jon Stoe

Most Easter sermons start at the empty tomb. This one starts somewhere darker. Lead Pastor Jon Stoe takes you back to the hours right after the crucifixion, when there were no Christians, no church, no Bible, and no believers. Just a handful of brokenhearted Galileans who thought they'd been following God's chosen king, now watching Rome claim his body. Nobody was keeping the dream alive. There was no dream left. Jon builds from that moment forward through 350 years of history, through Peter and John sprinting to an empty tomb, through disciples who wrote themselves into the story as cowards and quitters, to make the case that the resurrection isn't just a Bible story. It's the explanation for everything. And more personally, it answers the question most of us quietly carry: how do I know where I actually stand with God?
