Because He Lives: Why the Resurrection Changes Everything | Easter Sunday Sermon 2025

In this powerful Easter Sunday message, Pastor Chris McRae takes us to the heart of our faith—the resurrection of Jesus Christ. With passion and urgency, he declares the cornerstone of Christianity: Jesus is risen, and because He lives, everything changes.

As Pastor Chris walks us through 1 Corinthians 15 and the events of Holy Week, we’re reminded that the resurrection isn’t just a historical moment—it’s the foundation of our salvation, our hope, and our identity. He
challenges us to reflect on what our faith truly rests upon: If Christ is not raised, our faith is in vain—but because He lives, we are made alive.
From debunking myths about the resurrection to proclaiming Christ’s victory over sin and death, this message is a bold declaration of hope. No matter your past or present, Jesus’ finished work on the cross means new life is possible—for you.

Whether you’re wrestling with doubt, burdened by shame, or simply in need of renewal, this message is for you. The tomb is empty, the stone is rolled away—He’s alive, and that changes everything.
