Easter Sunday 2026 - The Way to New Life
Speaker: Emma King
Series: Easter Joy! - 2026
Scripture: Mark 16:1-8
Sermon Highlights
- The resurrection is God's declaration that death does not have the final word.
- Easter reminds us that God is in the business of moving stones that we cannot move ourselves.
- The cross tells us that God does not stand far away from human suffering. In Jesus, God enters into it.
- The resurrection tells us something equally powerful, that suffering and death will not have the final word upon our lives.
- Hope is not just naive optimism. It is grounded in what God has already done.
- Jesus comes for the ones who think that they've failed; Jesus comes for the ones who feel that they're far away; Jesus comes for the people who think that they've messed up way too much to be worthy of Jesus' love.
- The message of Easter is that because he lives, a new life is possible for us and hope is possible for the world.
