He is Risen SERMON (4/20/25)

“He is not here, for He has risen, as He said.” — Matthew 28:6 (ESV)

In this powerful Easter Sunday message, Lead Pastor Jeremy Auvil takes us to the empty tomb in Matthew 28:1–10 and 16–20, where the resurrection of Jesus turns fear into faith, despair into joy, and death into life.

Join us as we explore three key truths found in the resurrection story:

1. Finding Courage While Facing Fear
   The angel’s words—“Do not be afraid”—ring out across time, calling us to trust in God's promises, even when the world feels uncertain.

2. Finding Comfort at the Feet of Jesus
   When the women meet the risen Christ, they fall and worship. In His presence, we find peace that overcomes all fear.

3. Finding Forgiveness and Hope in the Resurrection
   Jesus calls His disciples “brothers”—a single word that restores relationship, renews purpose, and reveals the heart of the gospel.

Whether you're feeling stuck in fear, needing reassurance, or longing for renewed purpose, this episode will remind you of the life-changing power of the resurrection. The tomb is empty, and Jesus is alive—forever present, forever victorious.
