Resurrection changes everything. It is the hinge upon which all of human history and the hope of every Christian turns. In this special Easter service, Chuck Swindoll explores the dramatic shift from the fear and despair of the tomb to the shouting joy of the empty grave. Through a blend of powerful scripture, prayer, and teaching, we are reminded that because Jesus is risen, we no longer serve a dead historical figure, but a living Savior who intercedes for us in heaven today.
Message 1: The Morning They Shouted
Sermon Summary After Jesus was crucified, the disciples were paralyzed by fear, cowering behind locked doors. But the morning of the resurrection changed their world—and ours—forever. In this message, Chuck looks at the transformative encounter with the risen Lord at the Sea of Galilee. We see how the physical reality of the resurrected body of Jesus provided the evidence and the energy the disciples needed to turn the world upside down. This message is a call to move from the shadows of doubt into the bright light of the shouting joy: “He is risen!”
