How the Resurrection Changes Your Life Today

The resurrection is more than a historical event. It is the foundation of the Christian faith and the source of our hope today. In this message from Matthew 28, Pastor Chris Teien explains how Jesus' resurrection reveals who He is, calls us to respond in faith, and gives every believer new life and a new purpose.Because Jesus rose from the dead, we can know our sins are forgiven, experience a personal relationship with God, and confidently live with the hope of eternal life. The resurrection continues to transform lives because the risen Christ is still at work today.Outline1.

His resurrection validates everything He taught and fulfilled God's plan of redemption. (Matthew 28:1-7; Romans 1:4; 1 Corinthians 15)2. The Resurrection Requires a Response to JesusEvery person must decide what to do with the risen Christ.
