Episode Details

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 every person to respond, and gives believers new life and purpose.

Because Jesus rose from the dead, we can know that He conquered sin and death. Through faith in Him, we can receive forgiveness, enter a personal relationship with God, and live with the confident hope of eternal life. The resurrection still transforms lives because the risen Christ is alive and at work today.

IN THIS MESSAGE

#1 THE RESURRECTION REVEALS THE TRUTH ABOUT JESUS

The empty tomb confirms that Jesus is the promised Messiah, the Son of God, and the victorious Savior who conquered death. His resurrection validates His claims and demonstrates that God’s plan of redemption has been accomplished. (Matthew 28:1-7; Romans 1:4; 1 Corinthians 15)

#2 THE RESURRECTION REQUIRES A RESPONSE TO JESUS

Every person must decide what to do with the risen Christ. Some believe, some doubt, and others reject the truth. Jesus invites us to trust Him personally and receive forgiveness, salvation, and eternal life. (Matthew 28:8-17; John 1:12; Romans 10:9-10)

#3 THE RESURRECTION RESULTS IN NEW LIFE THROUGH JESUS

The risen Christ gives His followers a new identity, a new way of life, a new mission, and a living hope. Because Jesus lives, believers can walk in newness of life and confidently share the good news with others. (Matthew 28:18-20; Romans 6:4)

Do not simply celebrate the resurrection as an event from the past. Trust the risen Christ personally, follow Him faithfully, and share the hope of the gospel with those around you.
