The Stones We Cannot Roll Away

from Berwyn UMC (Audio) · host Pastor Kevin Rutledge

The resurrection story invites us to confront the impossible in our lives with renewed hope. Just as the stone was rolled away from Jesus' tomb before the women arrived, God is already at work in our darkest moments, moving obstacles we thought immovable. This powerful message reminds us that transformation often begins in times of despair when all seems lost. The angels' question, 'Why do you look for the living among the dead?' challenges us to stop seeking life in places of death – old habits, addictions, or false securities. Instead, we're called to embrace the new reality Christ offers, one that transcends our limited expectations. As we face our own 'stones' – grief, fear, or seemingly insurmountable problems – we're encouraged to trust in the God who makes the impossible possible, rolling away barriers and bringing new life where we least expect it.Join us every week for a rejuvenating experience of scripture, prayer, and spiritual insight.
