Episode Synopsis

Welcome to the Open Door Podcast! In this special Easter episode titled "A New Day," Pastor James dives into the transformative power of the resurrection, weaving together the stories of Mary, Thomas, Peter, and John from Matthew 28:1-7.Join us as we explore how encountering Jesus is the common denominator in these diverse narratives. Mary, once weeping, discovers that a resurrected Jesus means our tears won’t silence His voice; our pain and past can't hinder His plan. Thomas, struggling with doubt, finds that Jesus meets him where he is and offers what he needs, despite uncertainty. Peter, broken and burdened by past mistakes, learns that Jesus restores and gives purpose, reassuring him that failure cannot derail God's plan.But what about John? In Revelation, we see John in exile, perhaps wrestling with doubts and questions about the future. Yet, Jesus appears to him in glory, affirming His love and reassuring John that the church will endure because He holds the keys of death and Hades.From addicts to good ole boys to those with shattered dreams, we all share one thing in common: encountering the resurrected Jesus, who continues to change lives day by day. Through His victory over death, we no longer fear the end, knowing that death is merely a portal into eternity.So, do you have that hope? Do you possess the assurance that comes from knowing the one who conquered death? Join us as we celebrate Easter and embrace the promise of a new day with Jesus!
