Easter Sermon - Proclaiming Resurrection

About this episode

The sermon focuses on the resurrection of Christ as proclaimed in John 20:1-18, emphasizing the message of hope brought by Mary Magdalene.

This Easter morning, we gather for the day at the heart of our faith, when we proclaim that Christ is risen and death no longer has the final word. In John 20:1–18, we encounter Mary Magdalene, who comes to the tomb in grief and leaves with a message of hope: “I have seen the Lord.” It is a story that reminds us that resurrection is not only something we believe, but something we are called to proclaim with our lives. Sermon on John 20:1-18, delivered by the Reverend David J. Powers on April 5th, 2026.
