About this episode

This Easter sermon reflects on Jesus' power over death and the hope of resurrection.

Scripture: Luke 7:11-15, Luke 24:1-8, Romans 8:11 Speaker: Scott Meyer Summary: This Easter sermon centers on the story in Luke 7 where Jesus raises a widow’s son, showing His compassion and power over death. The preacher reflects on personal grief and explains how death often feels like it has the “right of way,” shaping our lives with loss and hopelessness. However, when Jesus encounters death, He interrupts it, demonstrating that death does not have the final say. This miracle points forward to the resurrection, where Jesus ultimately defeats death, proving that His power brings life even in the darkest moments. The message encourages listeners to trust in the resurrection power of Jesus, which can restore hope, purpose, and life.
