Easter 4/5

The sermon delivers a powerful message about the transformative hope of Easter and the resurrection of Jesus Christ. ​ It emphasizes that the resurrection is not just a one-time miracle but the beginning of a new creation, where life triumphs over death and love conquers hate. ​ Will Dyer highlights the unexpected nature of the resurrection, as Mary Magdalene and the other Mary approached the tomb expecting to find Jesus' body but instead encountered the risen Christ. ​ The message calls believers to embrace the resurrection as a call to action—"come and see, go and tell"—and to live as witnesses to God's power and grace. ​ It reminds listeners that the resurrection means the worst thing is never the last thing, and invites them to reflect on areas in their lives where they need to experience the hope, restoration, and transformation that Easter offers. ​
