Simply Jesus – Week 7 | The Resurrection

Easter morning can feel like a cliffhanger — standing at an empty tomb with fear, confusion, and the nagging sense that everything should have a neat ending. This message sits with that raw tension: people who loved Jesus flee in terror, ancient skeptics mocked the story, and modern seekers wonder if faith asks them to trade comfort for an impossible claim. It names the awkward, honest reactions many of us carry when life’s rhythms are upended. The sermon returns to the simple, startling claim at the heart of the story and refuses easy platitudes. It challenges the mind with historical questions that made first-century listeners pause, comforts a bruised heart by locating grace in weakness, and reframes the future so death and fear aren’t the last words. Listen for an invitation to stand in that unfinished moment and consider what it would mean if the story keeps going in a surprising, life-giving direction.
