Easter is defined by the two most significant Sundays in human history: Palm Sunday and Resurrection Sunday.

By examining the life-changing impact of the resurrection, we are encouraged to place our absolute trust in the One who gave everything to bring us to God. We discover that Jesus is both the Great Savior who conquers death and the Humble Servant who meets us in our deepest doubts.
A Resurrected Christ . . . A Transformed Life
Sermon Summary One man’s lowest moment of doubt did not define his life forever. While history often remembers him as “Doubting Thomas,” Jesus saw a man capable of profound transformation. This message explores the post-resurrection encounter between the Lord and Thomas. Chuck discusses how the reality of the resurrected Christ breaks through our skepticism and disappointment, turning doubt into a powerful confession of faith: “My Lord and my God!” We learn that the same power that raised Jesus from the dead is available to transform our lives today.

The Humility of the King
