Rolling Stones | Easter Sunday

On Resurrection Sunday the preacher uses the image of a rolled-away stone to show how Jesus' resurrection removes the burdens that trap us — stones of the past (guilt/identity), the present (pressure/limits), and the future (fear/unknown). The message calls listeners to trust the resurrection power, receive forgiveness, be baptized as an outward sign of new life, and rely on the church community for encouragement.

“On the first day of the week very early in the morning...they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus Christ; he is not here, he has risen.”

Resurrection Sunday with Phil Dooley †=♥ | Hillsong Church Online

Phil Dooley's Resurrection Sunday message teaches that believers are 'resurrection people'—called to allow Jesus to roll away the stones covering the dark, dead places in our lives so his light can bring standing up and recovery. Using the story of Lazarus, he draws four practical insights: see God's bigger purpose, expect both hope and controversy, pursue deep relationships, and keep moving forward. The sermon concludes with an invitation to respond, a reading of Psalm 23, and an offer of a New Testament.

Luke 24:1-7

He Got Up | Pastor Paul Owens | Message

Pastor Paul Owens proclaims the good news of the resurrection: Jesus rose from the dead, defeating sin, death, Satan, and the power of the grave.

The sermon calls listeners to embrace the resurrection's power — repent, receive forgiveness, and break free from 'death structures' that limit God’s purpose in their lives.
