This sermon focuses on the significance of the resurrection of Jesus Christ and its transformative impact on the lives of his followers, particularly Peter. Pastor Rob shares a personal anecdote about a scuba diving experience to illustrate the importance of taking things seriously, drawing a parallel to the seriousness of the resurrection. He then recounts the events of Jesus' crucifixion, burial, and the discovery of the empty tomb, emphasizing the fear and hiding of the disciples during this time. We highlight Peter's journey from thinking Jesus was the Messiah to knowing it after the resurrection, which radically transformed his life. He also references the biblical account of Peter's first encounter with Jesus in Luke Chapter 5, where Peter is called to become a "fisher of men.” The sermon underscores the resurrection as the most pivotal day in history and its power to change behavior and instill confidence in the belief that Jesus is the Messiah.
