Jul 31 2023 • 34 mins

Today Pastor Todd discusses the individual encounters of various people with Jesus after His resurrection, and the transformative impact these encounters had. He references 1 Corinthians 15 as the main scripture for his sermon and then focuses on Jesus' appearance to two travelers on the road to Emmaus as described in Luke 24. Pastor Todd emphasizes that the travelers' recognition of Jesus was a profound experience that ignited their faith and compelled them to share the news of Jesus' resurrection with the apostles.

He explores how some of the closest disciples doubted the news of Jesus' resurrection at first, even when the news came directly from Mary Magdalene, Joanna, and the mother of James. Despite the skepticism, Peter chose to investigate the news himself. Upon finding the empty tomb, Peter marvels at the event, showing a significant shift in his belief.

Pastor Todd shows us how encounters with the resurrected Savior can deeply impact and transform our faith and bring others to a new faith in Jesus.
