Resurrection Living

Apr 5, 2026    James Stalker, David Galvan

Resurrection provides strength and motivation to respond and serve with hope


This Easter sermon emphasizes that the resurrection of Jesus Christ is not merely a historical fact to acknowledge but a transforming power that calls believers to active mission. The message challenges both new and seasoned believers to move beyond religious routine and civilian pursuits into intentional, sacrificial living for Christ. Drawing from personal testimony of transformation from addiction and gang involvement to ministry, the sermon illustrates how God takes ordinary, broken people and creates masterpieces with purpose. The central theme is that because Christ lives, we also live—not passively, but as enlisted soldiers in God's mission, carrying the gospel with intentionality and shared suffering.
