The Hope of the Resurrection
This week in our Hope series, we celebrated Easter by exploring the unshakable promise of the resurrection—what Scripture calls a “living hope.” Charlie walked through 1 Peter 1, reminding us that the hope we have in Jesus isn’t rooted in wishful thinking, but in the certainty of what God has already done through Christ’s death and resurrection.
Using stories from Star Wars, sports anxiety, and his dad’s roller coaster obsession, Charlie contrasted the world’s fragile definitions of hope with the secure, eternal hope we’ve been given in Jesus. This is a hope that endures through trials, strengthens our faith, and reminds us that no matter how hard life gets, we are held and guarded by God’s power.
Whether you’ve followed Jesus for years or you’re just beginning to consider faith, this message invites you to move from watching to participating—putting your trust fully in the One who conquered death and offers a hope that will never fade.
