24 years ago, Shrek reminded us that "ogres are like onions"—they have layers. We do too. Emotions like shattered expectations, guilt, sadness, and fear often swirl together in us, just as they did for Jesus' disciples between Good Friday and Easter morning. But when Jesus appeared to them, everything changed with one powerful greeting: "Peace be with you."
In this sermon, we discuss the layers of human emotion and the peace that the risen Christ brings to our hearts. We'll see how Jesus' resurrection changes not just our spiritual status, but the way we face fear, guilt, sadness, and danger today. And we'll be reminded that the peace we have with God compels us to share the good news boldly.
Join us as we explore the transforming, peace-giving power of the risen Savior—and what that means for your life today.
