Easter 2026

Apr 5, 2026    Pastor Jason Dirks

This powerful Easter message takes us to ancient Athens, where we encounter a city drowning in idols and philosophies, yet searching for something more. At the heart of this exploration is a profound truth: we all want to live—truly live—and live forever. The message centers on Acts 17, where Paul confronts the religious yet lost Athenians with the reality of the 'unknown God' they've been worshiping without understanding. What unfolds is a beautiful revelation that God is both the Life Giver and Lord—the source of everything good, the Creator who doesn't need our offerings but instead offers us everything. The climax comes with the resurrection of Jesus, which serves as God's ultimate assurance that judgment is coming and eternal life is available. We're challenged to examine our own idols—those things we've fashioned to control or appease rather than surrendering to the living God. The call is clear: repent, which means changing our minds about sin recognizing it leads only to death, changing our hearts to hate what separates us from God, and changing our lives to move in faith toward Christ. This isn't just ancient history; it's our story today, living in the incredible era where the Messiah has been revealed and the tomb stands empty.
