An Eternal Weight of Glory (2 Corinthians 4:16-18)

HE IS RISEN!!! This Easter Sunday, we will be looking honestly at honest life — crushing debt, fractured marriages, illness, loss, and grief — and asking a question that may surprise you: What does the empty tomb have to do with any of that? Drawing from 2 Corinthians 4:16–18, the message — An Eternal Weight of Glory — takes us to the heart of what the resurrection actually changes for real people in real pain. Paul's audacious claim is that our present sufferings, however crushing they feel, are "light and momentary" when set against the eternal glory that the resurrection of Jesus is even now preparing for us. This is not escapism or empty optimism — it is the kind of hope that enabled so many simple disciples to say they would not trade their suffering for anything in the world. Join us this Easter as we discover that the resurrection doesn't just give us a reason to celebrate — it gives us a completely new way to see our whole story.
