Hey everyone! 👋 This is a message from Pastor Carl Catalanotto on Easter Sunday. He talks about how the **resurrection of Jesus isn't just something that happened 2000 years ago, but it's actually a *now* thing in our lives as believers**. He touches on the main point: **celebrating and remembering Jesus rising from the dead is the most important thing for Christians**. It's not just a yearly thing, but the **core of our Christian life**. Without the resurrection, Jesus' birth and death wouldn't mean anything. Pastor Carl explains that because Jesus was raised, it proves he's the Son of God. And get this - **the same Spirit that raised Jesus is living in believers today!** This gives us **power over death and everything that's connected to it, like sin**. He says that as believers, we don't have to fear death anymore because we have this **resurrection life** which is eternal. He also talks about how this **resurrection power is working in us right now**, helping us to overcome sin and become more like Christ. Plus, there's a **future hope of physical resurrection** when Jesus comes back. Want to know how to get this resurrection power in your life? Pastor Carl lays it out: **confess that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, and you will be saved!**. He even gives an invitation at the end for anyone who wants to experience this. So, if you're curious about what the resurrection really means for you *today*, or if you've never felt that power in your life, give this a listen! It might just change the way you see things. 🙏 **Key takeaways:** * **Resurrection is the most important thing in Christianity.** * **The power of Jesus' resurrection is available to believers *now*.** * **It gives us life over death and freedom from sin.** * **You can experience this power by believing in Jesus and his resurrection.**
