"He Saw and He Believed" Sunday Morning April 5th

About this episode

This Easter sermon explores the resurrection of Jesus Christ and the importance of faith based on observable evidence.

This Easter sermon examines the resurrection of Jesus Christ through the Apostle John's personal account in John 20:1-10. The message emphasizes that faith is not blind but based on observable evidence and careful investigation leading to understanding. By focusing on three followers—Mary Magdalene, Peter, and John—and their three distinct responses to the empty tomb, the sermon demonstrates how observation leads to inspection, which leads to belief. The pastor challenges listeners to examine the historical evidence for Christ's resurrection, including Jesus' death, the eyewitness accounts of over 500 people, and the martyrdom of the disciples who died for what they personally witnessed. The central message encourages believers not to let what they don't understand keep them from believing what they do understand about the gospel truth.
