EASTER 2026 | From Death to Daily UnionIn this powerful Easter message, we trace the story of redemption from the opening lines of Scripture to the finished work of Jesus.From Genesis 1, where humanity was created in the image of God to live in perfect harmony with Him, to the moment sin disrupted that design—this message confronts the root issue still affecting us today: our desire to define good and evil on our own terms.What began with a “half-truth” in the garden led to a humanity living out of sync—what Scripture calls sin. But God’s plan was never to leave us there.Through the lens of the entire Bible, we see how everything was pointing to Jesus:The ark as the one door to salvationAbraham’s ram as a shadow of the ultimate sacrificeThe Red Sea as a picture of deliveranceDavid’s victory foreshadowing the defeat of the enemyEsther standing in the gap, just like Christ on the crossJesus—fully God and fully man—did not just come to forgive sin, but to restore us back into union with the Father, Son, and Spirit.Because of Adam, humanity fell into spiritual death. But through Christ, we are made alive again.This message crescendos in Ephesians 2:1–6—a reminder that resurrection isn’t just something we celebrate once a year… it’s a reality we are invited to live in every single day.Easter is not about an annual moment—it’s about a daily union.Will you settle for remembering Jesus once a year, or will you step into the life He died to give you?!
