I Deserve Death, but He Gave Me Life

Apr 5, 2026    Mark Hirst

This Easter sermon focuses on the significance of Jesus' resurrection as the foundation of Christian faith. Pastor Mark emphasizes that the resurrection validates all of Jesus' promises and gives believers the assurance of eternal life, transformation, and purpose. Using the story of the two criminals crucified alongside Jesus, the sermon illustrates two possible responses to Christ: rejection with insults or humble faith asking for remembrance. The message highlights that we all deserve death due to our sin, but through God's rich mercy and grace, Jesus offers us new life and salvation that we cannot earn through good works.
