You are Witnesses

Sunday Service: May 11, 2025 • Pastor Q Kim at HOPE Church in Clarksville, MD ---Pastor Q’s sermon reflects on the story of Jesus' resurrection as described in the Gospel of Luke, emphasizing that Jesus physically rose from the dead with a glorified body, not as a ghost or spiritual illusion. The disciples initially feared he was a ghost because he appeared suddenly in locked rooms and disappeared after revealing himself, but Jesus proved his bodily resurrection by showing his wounds and eating food. This resurrection is unique because Jesus' new body was immortal, unlike others who had been raised from the dead, and it points to the future hope of believers receiving glorified bodies. The message stresses the importance of understanding scripture through the lens of Jesus' suffering, death, and resurrection, and the call to proclaim repentance and forgiveness of sins to all nations. PQ concludes with the reminder that believers are witnesses to this truth and are empowered by the Holy Spirit to share it with the world.
