Resurrection Sunday (Matthew 28) Life-changing sermon by Pastor JD Howell
What if one single moment in history could change everything? In this powerful Resurrection Sunday message, Pastor JD Howell takes us to Matthew 28 and reminds us that the resurrection of Jesus Christ is not just a tradition or a holiday, but the defining event that changes the entire course of humanity. In a world filled with misinformation and uncertainty, we often ask, “Is that real?” This sermon answers that question with clarity and conviction: the resurrection of Jesus Christ is absolutely real, historically grounded, and eternally significant.
From Matthew 28 and 1 Corinthians 15, we are shown that the resurrection is a factual truth confirmed by eyewitnesses, a sacred truth delivered by God, and a transforming truth that changes everything about how we live. The gospel is clear and powerful:
“For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures” (1 Corinthians 15:3–4).
This is not just a story to admire, but a truth to believe. Jesus did not simply teach or heal. He died for our sins and rose again in victory.
The resurrection is not only something to celebrate once a year, but something that should shape our lives every day. Without it, our faith would be empty and our hope would be gone. But because Jesus is alive, everything changes. “He is not here: for he is risen, as he said” (Matthew 28:6). This truth calls us to stop living as if Jesus is still in the grave and to start living in the power, hope, and victory of the risen Savior.
Have you personally trusted in Jesus Christ for salvation, and are you living in light of the fact that He is alive today?
