Easter Sunday

Apr 9, 2023

The Gospel of Mark challenges us to choose our own spiritual adventure, much like the popular 'Choose Your Own Adventure' books. This sermon explores Mark's abrupt ending, inviting us to consider how we'll respond to the resurrection of Jesus. The key message revolves around overcoming fear through faith. We're reminded that the women at the empty tomb were initially paralyzed by fear, mirroring our own hesitations in fully embracing Christ. The resurrection isn't just a historical event; it's a call to action. Are we going to walk away and do nothing, put our faith in Jesus, or share His message with others? This choice isn't just about belief, but about how we live our lives. The sermon encourages us to see fear as the main obstacle to faith, not intellectual arguments. By trusting in the One who conquered death, we can overcome our own fears and live a life of purpose and meaning.
