Episode Details

The Victory of the Empty Tomb In this moving Easter message, Pastor Mike Jenkins takes us from a small house in Spain in 1975 to the bustling streets of Jerusalem, tracing the evidence of the resurrected Christ. By examining the unique perspectives of the four Gospel writers and the personal testimony of the Apostle Paul, we see a clear picture of a Savior who didn't just die for the world, but died for you. This teaching challenges believers to move past a "drunken stupor" of complacency and embrace the steadfast, unmovable life that only comes through the victory of Jesus Christ. -- Pastor Mike's first Easter in Spain and the personal realization of Galatians 2:20. -- Why Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John provide different but complementary perspectives on the resurrection. -- The significance of Jesus appearing first to Mary Magdalene and later to over 500 witnesses. -- Understanding our "justified" status: Standing before God as though we had never sinned. -- The future promise of the "twinkling of an eye" and the final destruction of the enemy called death. -- A call to be steadfast and always abounding in the work of the Lord.
