Sunday Service 04/05/2026  l Easter Sunday | The Resurrection Is Not Past Tense | Pastor Daniel Kolson

🕊️ What if Easter isn’t just something to celebrate—but something you’re meant to live in?

In this powerful Easter message, Pastor Daniel Kolson challenges the way most people understand the resurrection. For many, Easter is a past event that secures a future hope. But in Scripture, the resurrection is presented as a present reality—a power you are invited to live in right now.

Too many believers are still living like the war is ongoing—

carrying shame that has already been buried,

fighting battles that have already been won,

and living in fear that has already been defeated.

But the resurrection changes everything.

Through the writings of Paul and the story of Easter, this message reveals that:

•You have already been raised with Christ

•You are already a new creation

•The Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead lives in you

•The life of the Kingdom is not coming someday—it has already begun

Easter is not just something that happened to Jesus.

It is something that has happened to you.

The question is not: Do you believe in the resurrection?

The question is: Are you living like it’s true?

📖 Key Scriptures:

•Philippians 3:10–11 – “That I may know Him and the power of His resurrection…”

•Colossians 3:1 – “You have been raised with Christ…”

•1 Corinthians 15:20–23 – Christ the firstfruits

•2 Corinthians 5:17 – “If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation…”

•Romans 6:3–7, 11 – Buried and raised with Him
