When life hits a dead end, it exposes the limits of our own strength and control. Easter reminds us that what looks final is not final, because Jesus has power even over death itself. His resurrection brings a hope that rises beyond circumstances and a power that works within us. Because the grave was emptied, our story doesn’t end in defeat—it moves toward life.

In “I Believe in the Victory of Jesus,” Pastor Jeff launches the “I Believe: How Belief Behaves” series on Easter Sunday. Examining the EFCA’s statement on Jesus’ atoning death and victorious resurrection, he unpacks how Christ overcame sin as our substitute, offering hope and salvation. This sermon calls us to sin no more and trust in Jesus, living out His victory.

In Revelation 5, we’re given a glimpse of the throne room of heaven—and at the center is a scroll, sealed and unreadable, until one worthy is found. Pastor Jeff walks through this stunning passage, showing us how the Lion of Judah, the slain Lamb, alone is worthy to open the scroll. On this Easter Sunday, we celebrate that the Lamb who was slain now stands in heaven—alive, victorious, and making heaven accessible for all who trust in Him.
