Pastor Luke Simmons walks through Acts 17 and the Apostle Paul’s message in Athens to show how the resurrection of Jesus is the most important truth for every generation. Preaching from Paul’s address at the Areopagus, Pastor Luke explains:
- The God who needs nothing but wants you
- How God has placed you “when” and “where” you are so that you might seek Him
- Why God commands all people everywhere to repent
- How the resurrection of Jesus is God’s proof that He will judge the world and can save anyone who turns to Him
This Easter sermon concludes with three ways people responded then—and still respond today—to the risen Christ: mocking, investigating, or believing.
If you’re exploring Christianity, returning to church, or celebrating Easter as a follower of Jesus, this message will help you consider what the resurrection means for you and how you will respond.
