He Is Risen! Resurrection Sunday Message

Pastor Ben Diaz
 

“He isn’t here! He is risen from the dead, just as he said would happen. Come, see where his body was lying.” 

— Matthew 28:6


If Jesus hadn’t risen from the dead, we’d be just another religion with a set of beliefs. But we serve a living Savior! Jesus overcame death by the power of God—and that same power now lives in us who believe. He wants to work through us to heal the sick, raise the dead, and be vessels for miracles, signs, and wonders—so that the world will know the depth of God’s love and the power of His forgiveness.


It’s wild to think that the ones who crucified Jesus remembered He said He’d rise again… but His own disciples, after walking closely with Him for three years, forgot. Grief, guilt, and fear clouded their memory of His promise.


After the resurrection, the Jewish leaders bribed the soldiers and spread a lie to cover up what really happened. And many still believe that lie today. Pastor Ben encouraged us—don’t fall for the lies or the bad reports the world throws at you. Believe God’s report! Isaiah 53:1 says, “Who has believed our report?” Let that be you.


He also challenged us: Are we remembering His promises today? That’s why staying connected to a church family matters. We need to hear and rehearse God’s Word so we can claim it for ourselves and live in victory—over sin, sickness, and even death.


And if you’ve never received Jesus’s gift of salvation, you don’t have to clean yourself up or “get ready” first. Come just as you are—and let Him do the transforming. Jesus already took all the punishment so you could receive His eternal life. Don’t wait—receive it today.



And once you do, don’t hold back. Don’t limit what God can do through you. Let’s make Jesus famous together, click Here to watch and share our full Resurrection Service!

Back in January, Pastor Kara spoke about “God, Our Rewarder” from Isaiah 55:6. Now, at the halfway point of the year, the Holy Spirit is calling us to recalibrate—to pause, evaluate, and make any adjustments necessary to ensure we’re still walking in the perfect will of God.
