Stand Alone - Risen

The cornerstone of the Christian faith is the resurrection of Jesus - without it, the Good News could never have spread. This Easter, Pastor Joe tells us how God provides evidence for your head, comfort for your heart, and hope for your soul through the story of Jesus' conquering of the grave.

Jesus repeatedly told his disciples that he would have to die and rise again, but because no worldview at the time had a category for resurrection, it went over their heads and they were surprised to see him upon his return. The resurrection of Jesus didn't just seem miraculous in the moment, though; it has much deeper meaning today. It means that all the shame, guilt and regret that comes with sin can now be forgiven, because Jesus took the burden to the grave and brought back hope to this earth.
