We Have Access Youth Sermon

Contributed by Youth Sermons on Sep 4, 2023

While the Crucifixion of Christ allowed for forgiveness of our sins, the Resurrection serves as our entrance into Heaven. We all have a choice to make in this life. Will we follow Jesus Christ to wherever He may lead us? Or, will we try to do things the world’s way, chasing after meaningless, temporary and empty satisfaction for only a few, short years? The Resurrection calls us to have an Eternal perspective.

Today, we're gonna talk about the Resurrection of Jesus. That's the event we celebrate on Easter. But before we dive in, let me show you something cool. See this locked box? Imagine all the awesome stuff inside, but we can't get to it because it's locked. Bummer, right? Well, Jesus is like the key ...read more

Focus On The Good Youth Sermon
