Old Testament Reading: Acts 9:1-22
Epistle Reading: Revelation 5:1-14
Gospel Reading: John 21:1-19

Sermon Summary

Pastor expounds on Revelation 5 as the ultimate “other side” of the Ascension—Christ welcomed as the conquering hero, the only One worthy to open the scroll of God’s perfect covenant. The Lamb who was slain possesses all power, knowledge, and presence—fully God—and reveals God’s Word to His people. We, the Church, join the four evangelists and 24 elders in worship, proclaiming Christ’s victory. Made a kingdom of priests, prophets, and kings, believers are sent to proclaim the Gospel, announce forgiveness, and live as heirs of eternal life. Our true citizenship is in the new heaven and new earth, where we will reign forever with Christ. All glory belongs to the Alpha and Omega, the King of Kings.

2025

Old Testament Reading: Acts 5:12-32
Epistle Reading: Revelation 1:4-18
Gospel Reading: John 20:19-31

Sermon Summary

In today’s sermon, Jesus is revealed as the Risen Lord who brings peace, restores the faithless, and commissions His followers. He appears bodily to the disciples, shows His wounds, and breathes the Holy Spirit on them—sending them out to proclaim the Gospel. He is the center of Scripture, the source of faith and life, and the glorified Savior who says, “Do not be afraid. Peace be with you.” There is no doubt—Christ is risen indeed!

Children's Message

Why the Easter Lily? White for purity, trumpet-shaped for announcement—this flower joyfully proclaims the resurrection and the victory of Jesus. Though it’s only been tied to Easter for about 120 years, it reminds us of the empty tomb and the risen Christ.

2025

Old Testament Reading: Isaiah 65:17-25
Epistle Reading: 1 Corinthians 15:19-26
Gospel Reading: Luke 24:1-12

Sermon Summary

On this Resurrection Sunday, we rejoice in the victory of Jesus Christ over sin, death, and the devil. The women at the empty tomb were reminded by angels to “remember what He told you.” Though the disciples struggled to grasp the promise of the resurrection, Christ had foretold His death and triumph. His resurrection is the foundation of our faith, our hope, and our future. One day, all suffering will be erased, all things made new. Until then, we hold firm to the Word, trust in the risen Lord, and boldly proclaim, Christ is risen! He is risen indeed! Hallelujah!

Children's Message

The children celebrated the resurrection of Jesus by receiving coins featuring a cross and John 3:16. The message emphasized that the cross is at the center of our lives, and the hole in the coin reminds us of the empty tomb. The stone was rolled away not for Jesus to escape, but so that we could see and believe that He has risen. Children were encouraged to remember this joyful truth every Sunday.
